I grew up in a small town. When I was in the third grade, I was chosen to be the        in the school play. My mother helped me practice my lines for weeks. But once I stepped onto the stage, I was too nervous to        the words. Finally, my teacher asked me to         the role to a storyteller. I didn’t tell my mother        had happened when I went home for lunch that day. She knew that I was        from my look. She asked if I wanted to go for a walk in the yard.
It was a lovely         day and the grass was turning green. We could see a lot of yellow dandelions(蒲公英）in the grass. I watched my mother walking towards a dandelion and         it up by its roots(根莖). “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.” she said. “But I like dandelions,” I said. “All        are beautiful —— even dandelions!”
“Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way. And that is true of       too. Not everyone can be a princess. You will be a beautiful storyteller,” my mother said, reminding me of how much I       to read stories to her. “The storyteller’s part is just as      as the part of a princess.”
The big day         came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher handed me a      . I looked at it and thought of our        talk. It made me        .
After the play, I took the flower home, and kept it in our family dictionary.

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是作者要在學(xué)校的話劇中扮演公主的角色，但是因為太緊張在舞臺上說不出話來，被老師換成了其他的角色，作者很不開心。作者的媽媽看出了作者的不高興，帶著她去院子里散步。在院子的草地上，他們看到了蒲公英，媽媽說每朵花都是漂亮的，正如在一部話劇中每個角色都是重要的一樣，作者從媽媽的話里受到了啟發(fā)。
小題1:考查名詞及語境的理解。句意：在我三年級的時候，我被選中在學(xué)校的話劇中扮演公主的角色。這題的答案應(yīng)該從下文中才能選出來，根據(jù)下文第三段中Not everyone can be a princess. You will be a beautiful storyteller可知，媽媽說，不是每個人都可以當(dāng)公主，你會是一個美麗的故事講述者。從這個地方，我們可以知道，本來是讓作者在話劇中扮演公主的角色。故選C。king 國王；snowman 雪人；witch 女巫。
小題2:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：但是我一站在舞臺上，就緊張得記不住臺詞。本句中使用了too...to 結(jié)構(gòu)，表示太……以至不能……，由句意可知作者是在臺上緊張得記不住臺詞，故用remember。forger 忘記；find 發(fā)現(xiàn)；write寫。故選B。
小題3:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：最后老師讓我把角色改成了講故事的人。act 行動；play 玩，打球；change 改變；take 帶走。根據(jù)文意，這里是因為作者在臺上緊張得說不出話來，所以給作者變換了一個角色，讓她去當(dāng)講故事的人。故選C。
小題4:考查連詞及語境的理解。句意：那天回家吃午飯的時候我沒有告訴媽媽發(fā)生了什么。這里是what 引導(dǎo)的一個賓語從句，做tell的賓語，what在從句中做主語。which 哪一個，不符合句意；that 引導(dǎo)賓語從句時在從句中不做成分；this是代詞，不能引導(dǎo)賓語從句。故選B。
小題5:考查形容詞及語境的理解。句意：她從我的表情上知道我不高興。energetic 精力充沛的；unhappy 不高興的；excited 興奮的；dishonest不誠實(shí)的。由上文可知，作者被調(diào)換了角色，從臺上的公主變成了講故事的人，所以應(yīng)該是不高興的。故選B。
小題6:考查名詞及語境的理解。句意：這是一個美好的春天的一天，草都變綠了。由后面的這一句草變綠了，可知現(xiàn)在是春天。spring 春天；summer 夏天；autumn 秋天；winter冬天。故選A。
小題7:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：我看到媽媽走向一顆蒲公英，把它連根拔起來。put 放；pull 拉，拔；set 放置，坐落；look看，看起來。這里說的是媽媽拔下來一顆蒲公英。故選B。
小題8:考查名詞及語境的理解。句意：我說，所有的花都是美麗的，即使是蒲公英也是一樣的。season 季節(jié)；rainbow 彩虹；flower 花；scene 景色。根據(jù)后面作者加的這句even dandelions 可知，作者這里說的是花都是美麗的，故選C。
小題9:考查名詞及語境的理解。句意：每朵花都有自己的方式給別人帶來快樂，這對人來說也是一樣的。animal 動物；plant 植物；people 人，人們；food 食物。這里是媽媽在用花來比喻人，每朵花都是美麗的，包括蒲公英這樣很平常的花，所以每個人也都有自己存在的價值。故選C。
小題10:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：媽媽說，不是每個人都可以當(dāng)公主，你會是一個美麗的故事講述者的。媽媽的話讓我想起了我是多么喜愛跟她講故事。hate 討厭，恨；love 喜歡，喜愛；try 盡力，嘗試；plan 計劃。這里是媽媽的話讓作者想起來自己是非常喜歡講故事的，所以自己會是一個很好的講故事的人的。故選B。
小題11:考查形容詞及語境的理解。句意：故事講述者的角色就像公主角色一樣的重要。interesting 有趣的；common 普通的，普遍的；important 重要的；cheerful 歡呼的。這里是作者的媽媽在勸告作者，在一部話劇中，每個角色都是重要的。故選C。
小題12:考查副詞及語境的理解。句意：這么重要的一天終于到來了。suddenly 突然的；finally 最后，最終；usually 通常；slowly 慢地。這里說的是作者表演話劇的這一天終于來了。故選B。
小題13:考查名詞及語境的理解。句意：在話劇開始前幾分鐘，我的老師遞給我一顆蒲公英。這里是根據(jù)下文選出的，根據(jù)文章最后一段After the play, I took the flower home，在話劇表演完后，我把這朵花拿回了家。這里的花指的就是蒲公英。故選B。rose 玫瑰，文章中并沒有提到；present 禮物；hairclip 發(fā)夾，這兩項都不符合文意。故選B。
小題14:考查名詞及語境的理解。句意：我看著它，想起了我和媽媽午飯時間的談話。根據(jù)上文第一段when I went home for lunch that day. She knew that I was unhappy from my look. She asked if I wanted to go for a walk in the yard.可知，作者是在午飯時間和媽媽進(jìn)行了一次談話，故選B。breakfast time 早飯時間；suppertime 晚飯時間；teatime 下午茶時間。
小題15:考查形容詞及語境的理解。句意：我看著它，想起了我和媽媽午飯時間的談話，它讓我充滿自信。根據(jù)對文意的理解，從作者和媽媽進(jìn)行了一次談話后，作者知道了每個角色都是重要的，而且自己會是一個美麗的故事講述者，故作者對自己充滿了自信，故選C。imaginative 有想象力的；generous 慷慨的；confident 自信的；humorous 幽默的。

A small boy at summer camp received a bag of cookies in the mail from his mother. He ate a few, and then put the rest under his bed. The next day, after lunch, he went to his tent to get a cookie. The box was gone.

Kindergartens may teach you very important things you need to know. Dancy, a 5-year-old boy, saved his father’s life with the skills he learned.
The boy’s father became seriously ill on the way home from a father-son shopping. He couldn’t speak and could hardly move, but he tried hard to stop the car safely. At that point, Dancy used his father’s phone to call his mother for help. The 5-year-old boy tried his best to give her useful information and he was able to tell where they were. Just as he had learned in the kindergarten, Dancy read the letters he saw on a nearby store sign: “F,U,R,N,I,T,U,R,E.” But that wasn’t enough for his mother to find them. Then he added that they were near a bridge. Finally, his mother understood he was talking about a store called Furniture 22 on New Jersey’s Route 22. The mother called 911 and the father was saved in time.
“He just thought his dad needed help,” Dancy’s mother told the reporter. She also pointed out that her husband was a hero, too. “It is surprising for him to get off the highway and get himself and his child to safety even when he was so sick,” she said.
Shine, head of the kindergarten, felt proud of his pupil. “Dancy’s spelling skills helped him seize（抓住）the moment,” he said. “And that’s the real value of education.”

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very kind person. When Dr. Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest. The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled(毀壞) them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow(淺的) roots(根), and how trees that weren't watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important. So he never watered his trees. He'd planted an oak(橡樹)and instead of watering it every morning, he'd beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago. They're very big and strong now. I planted some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray (祈禱) that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we could face it strongly and won't be beaten down.
小題1: We know from the passage, the doctor______.
A．didn't know how to plant trees at all
B．wasn't good at his own medical job
C．had his own ways of planting trees
D．had nothing to do but plant trees
小題2: When Dr. Gibbs said "... pick out the weaker trees early on.", he meant that______.
A．some weak trees would be easily found out at the beginning
B．he would choose the weak trees to water earlier
C．the weak trees would be sent to his patients later
D．he would not plant weak trees so early anymore
小題3: The passage tells us that the writer______.
A．should beat his trees with a rolled-up newspaper
B．didn't often water his trees
C．didn't have a large field
D．took too much care of his trees
小題4:The writer wants to change his prayer, hoping that______.
A．his trees will be stronger than Dr. Gibbs'
B．his trees will not be beaten down
C．his sons will be better at planting trees
D．his sons will be able to face difficulties
小題5:Which can be the best title of the reading?
A．Watering TreesB．Growing Roots
C．Doctor and his NeighborD．Father and his Children

“Hmm! Even a dog likes it!”he said. “Well, Tige, I won’t say anything unkind to you   .” Tige waved its tail happily.
The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw      but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he saw a       nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he started a new life.
