Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches (路沟) along the highway I travel daily to work.
There is one blue flower that has always my eye. I’ve noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours, and the afternoon sun is too warm it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful .
This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look in that bed alongside wildflowers.
Everyday I drove the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes ...” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband gave me a folding shovel(铁锹) one year to be used for that purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I was to see that the highway department had moved the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you too long. You it when you first saw them blooming this spring.”
A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor(脑瘤晚期). She is 20 years older than my husband and , because of age and distance, we haven’t been as as we all would have liked.
I couldn’t help but see the between the pretty blue flowers and the between my husband’s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some valuable that will bloom every year for us.
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I"ll stop and them to my wildflower garden

解析
试题分析:作者每次从沟渠边经过时都会看到一种盛开的蓝色小花,每次都想停下来把花移栽到自己家中,但是从没有真正的行动。后来沟渠被填平了,野花不见了,作者才意识到有些东西错过了就不会再来,意识到了人生没有等待。
小题1:。D形容词辨析。A.甜的;B.有趣的; C.不同的; D.特别的。根据下文可知这种花总是引起作者的注意,所以从情理推测这种花是很特别的,故答案选D。
小题2:C。动词辨析。A.沮丧; B.袭击,打击;C.逮住 ;D.迷人。固定短语:catch one’s eye“引起某人注意”,故答案选C。
小题3:A。介词辨析。A.为了;B.到;C.带有;D.在上面。根据前句话it blooms only in the morning hours,可知此处作者指下午的阳光对于这种花来说是太强烈了,句型:it is +adj +for sb +(to do sth) for “对于”,故答案选A。
小题4:B。名词辨析。A.植物;B.花朵;C.某些;D.野生。作者在上文提到了blue flower,而且下文内容也是和这种花有关,故答案选B。
小题5:D。名词辨析。A.开;B.主厅;C.前;D.厨房。根据空后内容while doing the dishes可以判断作者是透过厨房的窗户可以看到这种花,故答案选D。
小题6:A。形容词辨析。A.伟大的;B.好;C.恐惧的;D.丑陋的。作者认为如果把那种蓝花和别的花移栽到会更好看,故答案选A。
小题7:C。形容词辨析。A.许多;B.各式各样的;C.其他的;D.多彩的。上文提到这种漂亮的兰花是在沟渠边的,由此可知这是一种野花,再由空后wildflowers判断答案选C。
小题8:B。动词辨析。A.经过;B.过去 ;C.经过;D.过去。从动词drove可知此处指作者开车从沟渠经过时,同时也从花的旁边经过,pass是动词,past是介词,故答案选B。
小题9:C。动词辨析。A.毁坏的;B.准备好的;C.脏的;D.有味的。作者一再的想去把花移栽到家中,但是却一直没有行动,此处表示她的理由,所以是作者怕把衣服弄脏,故答案选C。
小题10:D。副词辨析。A.曾经;B.从前;C.从不;D.甚至。根据语境判断作者想去做的事情,一直没有做到,即使丈夫把工具放到她的车上,她都没有行动,由此可知此处起强调作用,故答案选D。
小题11:A。动词辨析。A.明确的; B临时的;C.没完成的;D.永久的 。从上文内容可知作者想把花移栽到家中,丈夫为了她的打算还给她提供了工具,所以目的是“明确的,明白表示的”,答案选A。
|
小题14:C动词短语辨析。A.已经做;B.有必要做过;C.本应该做; D.肯定做过。根据语境判断这是作者的一种假设,表示对过去的后悔,遗憾,should have done“本该做但是没做”,故答案选C。
小题15:C。副词辨析。A.不自觉地;B.幸运地;C.不幸地;D.自觉地。从后句的原因状语从句可知作者因为距离和年龄的差距和丈夫的姐姐关系不是很密切,由此判断答案选C。
小题16:A。形容词辨析。A.关,近;B.近的;C.关着的;D.附近的。根据语境可知此处指关系的密切,close“(关系)密切的,”closely“密切地(观察,注视)”;closed“关着的”;near “(距离)近的”,故答案选A。
小题17:。A名词辨析。A.联系;B.不同;C.意思;D.意义。根据语境可以推断作者从野花的失去联想到了丈夫姐姐的情况,想到了他们之间的某种联系,他们共同之处都是在身边的时候人们没有去珍惜,故答案选A。
小题18:B。名词辨析。A.友谊; B.关系;C.支持;D.亲戚。从词义角度可知此处指的是丈夫的姐姐和作者与丈夫之间的关系,故答案选B。
小题19:B。名词辨析。A.树;B.记忆;C.种类;D.玫瑰。野花没有了,只剩下作者脑海中的模样;姐姐也要离去了,也将成为记忆的一部分,所以在此作者抒发自己的感概:上帝曾经给予过我们时间去种植下美好的记忆,为得是将来的回忆,答案选B
小题20:D。动词辨析。A.挖;B.解救;C.传送;D.移植。根据上文内容可知作者一直都想把花移栽到自己家中,所以如果再给她机会看到这种花的时候,她肯定会去那样做,故答案选D。

Thankfully, I was able to keep myself .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how this was for me. I told them there must be a reason and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom.
As I the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you.” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” Some kids said, “We’re of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too , too strict…

A girl came out of the building next door, a jump rope in her hand, and she hopped over. “Are you Hispanic?” she asked. “No, I’m Puerto Rican.” “Same thing. Puerto Rican, Hispanic. That’s what we are here.” She skipped a tight circle, stopped abruptly, and shoved the rope in my direction. “Want a turn?”
“Sure.” I hopped on one leg, then the other. “So, if you’re Puerto Rican, they call you Hispanic?”
“Yeah. Anybody who speaks Spanish.”
I jumped a circle, as she had done, but faster. “You mean, if you speak Spanish, you’re Hispanic?”
“Well, yeah. No . . . I mean your parents have to be Puerto Rican or Cuban or something.”
“Okay, your parents are Cuban, let’s say, and you’re born here, but you don’t speak Spanish. Are you Hispanic?”
“I guess so,” she finally said. “It has to do with being from a Spanish country. I mean, you or your parents, like, even if you don’t speak Spanish, you’re Hispanic, you know?” She looked at me uncertainly. But I didn’t know. I’d always been Puerto Rican, and it hadn’t occurred to me that in New York I’d be someone else.
Later, I asked. “Are we Hispanics, Mami?” “Yes, because we speak Spanish.” “But a girl said you don’t have to speak the language to be Hispanic.” “What girl? Where did you meet a girl?” “Outside. She lives in the next building.” “Who said you could go out to the sidewalk? This isn"t Puerto Rico. Something could happen to you.”
I listened to Mami’s lecture with depressed eyes and the necessary respect. But inside, I quaked. Two days in New York, and I’d already become someone else. It wasn’t hard to imagine that greater dangers lay ahead.
