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(根茎). “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.

试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是作者要在学校的话剧中扮演公主的角色,但是因为太紧张在舞台上说不出话来,被老师换成了其他的角色,作者很不开心。作者的妈妈看出了作者的不高兴,带着她去院子里散步。在院子的草地上,他们看到了蒲公英,妈妈说每朵花都是漂亮的,正如在一部话剧中每个角色都是重要的一样,作者从妈妈的话里受到了启发。
小题1:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:在我三年级的时候,我被选中在学校的话剧中扮演公主的角色。这题的答案应该从下文中才能选出来,根据下文第三段中Not everyone can be a princess. You will be a beautiful storyteller可知,妈妈说,不是每个人都可以当公主,你会是一个美丽的故事讲述者。从这个地方,我们可以知道,本来是让作者在话剧中扮演公主的角色。故选C。king 国王;snowman 雪人;witch 女巫。
小题2:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:但是我一站在舞台上,就紧张得记不住台词。本句中使用了too...to 结构,表示太……以至不能……,由句意可知作者是在台上紧张得记不住台词,故用remember。forger 忘记;find 发现;write写。故选B。
小题3:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:最后老师让我把角色改成了讲故事的人。act 行动;play 玩,打球;change 改变;take 带走。根据文意,这里是因为作者在台上紧张得说不出话来,所以给作者变换了一个角色,让她去当讲故事的人。故选C。
小题4:考查连词及语境的理解。句意:那天回家吃午饭的时候我没有告诉妈妈发生了什么。这里是what 引导的一个宾语从句,做tell的宾语,what在从句中做主语。which 哪一个,不符合句意;that 引导宾语从句时在从句中不做成分;this是代词,不能引导宾语从句。故选B。
小题5:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:她从我的表情上知道我不高兴。energetic 精力充沛的;unhappy 不高兴的;excited 兴奋的;dishonest不诚实的。由上文可知,作者被调换了角色,从台上的公主变成了讲故事的人,所以应该是不高兴的。故选B。
小题6:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:这是一个美好的春天的一天,草都变绿了。由后面的这一句草变绿了,可知现在是春天。spring 春天;summer 夏天;autumn 秋天;winter冬天。故选A。
小题7:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:我看到妈妈走向一颗蒲公英,把它连根拔起来。put 放;pull 拉,拔;set 放置,坐落;look看,看起来。这里说的是妈妈拔下来一颗蒲公英。故选B。
小题8:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:我说,所有的花都是美丽的,即使是蒲公英也是一样的。season 季节;rainbow 彩虹;flower 花;scene 景色。根据后面作者加的这句even dandelions 可知,作者这里说的是花都是美丽的,故选C。
小题9:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:每朵花都有自己的方式给别人带来快乐,这对人来说也是一样的。animal 动物;plant 植物;people 人,人们;food 食物。这里是妈妈在用花来比喻人,每朵花都是美丽的,包括蒲公英这样很平常的花,所以每个人也都有自己存在的价值。故选C。
小题10:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:妈妈说,不是每个人都可以当公主,你会是一个美丽的故事讲述者的。妈妈的话让我想起了我是多么喜爱跟她讲故事。hate 讨厌,恨;love 喜欢,喜爱;try 尽力,尝试;plan 计划。这里是妈妈的话让作者想起来自己是非常喜欢讲故事的,所以自己会是一个很好的讲故事的人的。故选B。
小题11:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:故事讲述者的角色就像公主角色一样的重要。interesting 有趣的;common 普通的,普遍的;important 重要的;cheerful 欢呼的。这里是作者的妈妈在劝告作者,在一部话剧中,每个角色都是重要的。故选C。
小题12:考查副词及语境的理解。句意:这么重要的一天终于到来了。suddenly 突然的;finally 最后,最终;usually 通常;slowly 慢地。这里说的是作者表演话剧的这一天终于来了。故选B。
小题13:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:在话剧开始前几分钟,我的老师递给我一颗蒲公英。这里是根据下文选出的,根据文章最后一段After the play, I took the flower home,在话剧表演完后,我把这朵花拿回了家。这里的花指的就是蒲公英。故选B。rose 玫瑰,文章中并没有提到;present 礼物;hairclip 发夹,这两项都不符合文意。故选B。
小题14:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:我看着它,想起了我和妈妈午饭时间的谈话。根据上文第一段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,作者是在午饭时间和妈妈进行了一次谈话,故选B。breakfast time 早饭时间;suppertime 晚饭时间;teatime 下午茶时间。
小题15:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:我看着它,想起了我和妈妈午饭时间的谈话,它让我充满自信。根据对文意的理解,从作者和妈妈进行了一次谈话后,作者知道了每个角色都是重要的,而且自己会是一个美丽的故事讲述者,故作者对自己充满了自信,故选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.

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(毁坏) 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(浅的) 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(橡树)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 (祈祷) 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.
小题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
小题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
小题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
小题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
小题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.
