Answer 1

分析 作者通過描述自己院子里面頑強(qiáng)生長(zhǎng)的向日葵悟出了這樣一個(gè)道理：如果我們相信自己的能力，我們便可以克服一切困難，實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的人生目標(biāo)．

解答 答案：
41．A    聯(lián)系上下文  根據(jù)第二段中的第一句"Last summer，I found a tiny little（43）in the yard"提到了作者在院子里發(fā)現(xiàn)了…，可知這里指的應(yīng)是：他們的院子；故選A．
42．D  考查句意理解以及從屬連詞   本句的意思是：只為了給這里增添一些色彩，通常在我們有花的時(shí)候，我或者Denise會(huì)在石頭之間種上一些；故此處指的是：當(dāng)…時(shí)候；應(yīng)使用連詞when，故選D．
43．B    聯(lián)系上下文    根據(jù)本段中的最后兩句"I knew I didn't plant it and Denise said she didn't either．We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was．"作者他們誰都沒有種它，得等它長(zhǎng)得大時(shí)，才能分辨出它是什么；以及下文提到"it appeared to be a sunflower"那長(zhǎng)出了一株向日葵，故此處指的應(yīng)是生長(zhǎng)在院子里的一種植物；C．weed雜草，野草；  D．seed 種子；故選B．
44．C   聯(lián)系上下文    根據(jù)本段中的最后一句"We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was．（我們決定讓它繼續(xù)生長(zhǎng)，直到我們能看出它是什么為止）"可知，本句的意思應(yīng)是：我在院子里發(fā)現(xiàn)了一株很小的植物，我不能立即識(shí)別出它是什么；故選C．
45．D   考查句意理解   根據(jù)上文提到作者不能立即識(shí)別出院子里的那株幼小的植物，即作者不知道它是什么植物，可知作者認(rèn)為那是一株奇怪的植物；故選D．
46．C     聯(lián)系上下文    根據(jù)上一句"it appeared to be a sunflower"可知，作者已經(jīng)看出它是一株向日葵了，因此作者決定除去它周圍的雜草；故選C．
47．B     聯(lián)系上下文     根據(jù)下一句"The sunflower had not（48）where I saw it begin"可知，向日葵并沒有生長(zhǎng)在我一開始發(fā)現(xiàn)它的位置；因此作者認(rèn)為這是件不尋常的事情，故選B．
48．A    考查句意理解   本句的意思是：向日葵并沒有生長(zhǎng)在我一開始發(fā)現(xiàn)它的位置，start表示開始生長(zhǎng)；故選A．
49．D     聯(lián)系上下文   根據(jù)第一段提到院子里有很多石頭，以及作者在除雜草時(shí)需要搬走石頭可知，它應(yīng)該是生長(zhǎng)在了石頭的下面；故D．
50．B   考查句意理解   由于向日葵是始終向著太陽生長(zhǎng)的，故選B．
51．C    聯(lián)系上下文    由于下文提到的是：作者意識(shí)到的已發(fā)生的事情；故選C．
52．A    考查固定短語   stand in one's way意為：阻攔，擋道；故選A．
53．B    考查動(dòng)詞短語及上下文理解    A．worry about擔(dān)心； B．believe in 相信，信任；C．fill in填寫，填充；D．put in提出，放入；根據(jù)下文"We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the（55）to achieve our goals"可知，本句的意思是：如果我們像那棵向日葵一樣相信我們自己；故選B．
54．A   聯(lián)系上下文  結(jié)合最后一段提到的"in order to reach our goals"可知，此處指的是：達(dá)到某種目標(biāo)，故選A．
55．C    考查固定短語及上下文理解    根據(jù)下文"it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks…"可知，此處指的應(yīng)是：我們有能力實(shí)現(xiàn)我們的目標(biāo)；have the ability to do sth．表示有能力做某事；故選C．
56．D      聯(lián)系上下文    根據(jù)上文作者主要贊揚(yáng)了那株頑強(qiáng)地生長(zhǎng)在他們?cè)鹤永锏南蛉湛�可知，此處指的�?yīng)是那株向日葵；故選D．
57．A    考查句意理解   此處與上文提到的believe in 相呼應(yīng)，意為：它知道它有能力擺脫那些石頭，因?yàn)樗�相信自己�?huì)成功；故選A．
58．B  考查形容詞辨析及句意理解  A．a(chǎn)ware of意識(shí)到；B．proud of 驕傲；C．tired of厭倦于； D．a(chǎn)fraid of害怕；像向日葵一樣高高地站立，并為自己感到自豪；故選B．
59．C    聯(lián)系上下文   承接上一句可知，本句的意思應(yīng)是：周圍的一切都將開始支持我們；故選C．
60．D    聯(lián)系上下文   此處與"It actually had begun under a big （49）and grown under and around it to reach the（50）．"相呼應(yīng)，表達(dá)的意思是：為了達(dá)到我們的目標(biāo)，我們會(huì)找到一條路走下去或繞過任何"石頭"；故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做本題時(shí)，首先要快速瀏覽全文，把握文章的主旨大意，縷清作者的寫作思路；然后結(jié)合上下文，逐句分析，并正確理解每一句話的意思；最后結(jié)合選項(xiàng)中各單詞或短語的意義及用法，找到符合文意的選項(xiàng)．
