考生需掌握文章中两个主人公之间的关系解析：文中的8-14行提到了很多Mattie的品质，比如：她很友好(“smiledandwaved”),急迫(“jumpeddownwithherbundles”),随和(“sheain’tafretter”)以及有活力(“likethelightingofafireonacoldhearth”).但是其中最吸引Ethan却是她对周围世界有着一颗开阔的心，在文中的最后一段有体现，“Shehadaneyetoseeandaneartohear:hecouldshowherthingsandtellherthings,andtastetheblissoffeelingthatallheimpartedleftlongreverberationsandechoeshecouldwakeatwill”(lines15-19).17.Whichchoiceprovidesthebestevidencefortheanswertothepreviousquestion(A)Lines1-6(“Mattie...farm”)(B)Lines6-12(“Hehad...anyhow”)(C)Lines12-14(“Butit...hearth”)(D)Lines15-19(“Shehad...will”)题目考点：信息和观点类答案：D答题思路：考生需在文中找出支持上一问题答案的最佳支持性证据。解析：文中的15-19行提到Mattie“hadaneyetoseeandaneartohear:[Ethan]couldshowherthingsandtellherthings,andtastetheblissoffeelingthatallheimpartedleftlongreverberationsandechoeshecouldwakeatwill.”话句话说就是Mattie对外界的观点经历是一种接纳的心态，因此最能支持上一问题的答案。18.Theauthorincludesthedescriptionsofthesunset,theclouds,andthehe
