B.hardly D.happily
C.frequently
解析:A、B项有较大干扰性,从前文的wealthy和comfortable看,作者首先讲述的是Mrs White生活的优越——她富有、房子舒适、孩子们经常前来探望。从下文的“但是,她并不开心。”我们也可以得此答案。
答案:C 2.A.money C.big house
B.children D.old age
解析:从空后的“和她死去的丈夫”我们可以推断,Mrs White老是想一些让她伤心的事情,因此D项为最佳答案。
答案:D 3.A.talked C.thought
B.worried D.learned
解析:从空后的“让格林医生来看她”可知孩子们担心她。 答案:B 4.A.sick C.rich
B.old D.weak
解析:A项有较大干扰性,但由前后文我们知道,Mrs White并没有生病,再者从后文我们知道,Dr Green对待Mrs White的办法是对待老人的。
答案:B 5.A.told C.ordered
B.invited
D.wanted
解析:从后文“她决定在给出建议之前先了解怀特夫人”,由此可见老人不喜欢别人对她指手画脚。order“命令”,语气太重;invite“邀请”;want不符合句意。
答案:A
6.A.go to treat C.get to know
B.come to see D.refuse to examine
解析:从后文我们知道,在来到Mrs White家后,她首先参观她的房子,而不是给她指导,因此说“开始了解她”。
答案:C 7.A.view C.sight
B.picture D.tour
解析:后文“当参观房子结束后”中tour与此处对应,我们可以得此答案。 答案:D
8.A.familiar with C.anxious about
B.interested in D.proud of
解析:从文章第一句的“一间又大又舒适的房子”以及空后的“高兴地同意了”我们知道Mrs White以自己的房子为骄傲。familiar with“与……相似”;interested in“对……感兴趣”;anxious about“对……担心”。
答案:D
9.A.watched C.showed
B.noticed D.looked
解析:从下文“每扇窗户上都有很多紫罗兰”可知,这是Dr Green在房子里走的时候注意到的,notice意为“注意到,留意到”。
答案:B 10.A.How C.Why
B.Where D.When
解析:从Mrs White的回答“我喜欢这些花,而且它们长得很快,所以我就有越来越多的花了。”我们可以看出Dr Green问Mrs White她为什么会有这么多的紫罗兰。
答案:C
11.A.flowers C.windows
B.rooms D.children
解析:本句回答“为什么会有这么多紫罗兰”这一问题,因此these flowers是指紫罗兰。 答案:A
12.A.decision C.preparation
B.suggestion D.announcement
解析:从下文“当你听到你的朋友或邻居生病了或是要结婚了,送给他们一束紫罗兰。”可知这是Dr Green给Mrs White提的建议。decision“决定”;preparation“准备”;announcement“通告,声明”。
