Question

【题目】 About 12 years ago, I began making a series of dolls called “Wee Forest Folk”. At first, I made them from cloth but then began using a kind of polymer clay (软陶) called Cernit. The cloth dolls were beautiful, but it was impossible to get the level of details (细节) I can get with clay.

First, I use wire (金属丝) to build the shape of the doll. Then I cover the head, hands, and feet around the wire by using the Cernit. Then I make the doll's clothes myself, using lots of different materials. The completed dolls are fixed onto hardwood bases made by my father, Jim Logan.

Generally, the dolls show older people taking part in traditional activities. I've always had a great respect for the older generation.

Inspiration for the dolls often comes from people I know. Once I was caught looking too closely at the wrinkles (皱纹) on the face of one of my mom's friends. But I explained that her laughter lines made her more attractive.

Now I work as a teacher's assistant, and while I was raising my two daughters, Keri and Sheryl, I could work on the dolls only late at night. The girls loved to come downstairs the next morning to see who'd arrived in the night.

It's the detail that I enjoy working on the most. I once made a fisherman doll for a lady to give her father, including a tiny creel — a basket used by fishermen for carrying fish. When the man got the doll, he immediately opened the creel to see what was inside. Luckily, I'd made a small fish out of Cernit and placed it in the basket.

Hopefully my story will inspire others to try their hand at doll making — I find it very relaxing and interesting.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己制作娃娃的故事。

【1】细节理解题。第一、二段详细讲述了作者制作娃娃的过程，特别是根据第一段中的At first, I made them from cloth but then began using a kind of polymer clay (软陶) called Cernit.及第二段中的First, I use wire (金属丝) to build the shape of the doll. Then I cover the head, hands, and feet around the wire by using the Cernit. Then I make the doll's clothes myself, using lots of different materials.等细节可知，这些娃娃是作者纯手工制作的，故A项正确。

【2】细节理解题。根据第四段中的Inspiration for the dolls often comes from people I know. Once I was caught looking too closely at the wrinkles(皱纹) on the face of one of my mom's friends.可知，塑造娃娃的面部表情的灵感通常来自我认识的人，有一次，我密切地注视着我妈妈的一个朋友脸上的皱纹。由此可知，作者仔细看她母亲的朋友的脸是为了获得创造性的想法。故B项正确。

【3】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的It's the detail that I enjoy working on the most. I once made a fisherman doll for a lady to give her father,可知，我最喜欢处理细节，我曾经为一位女士做了一个渔夫娃娃，让她送给她的父亲，作者提到渔夫娃娃的故事就是为了证明她的娃娃有很好的细节。故D项正确。

本篇第3题推理判断题难度较大，抓住段落主题句是关键，根据倒数第二段第一句It's the detail that I enjoy working on the most.可知，我最喜欢处理细节，紧接着提到我曾经为一位女士做了一个渔夫娃娃，作者提到渔夫娃娃的故事就是为了证明这一点，即：她的娃娃有很好的细节。故D项正确。
