Question

【題目】 Looking through a magazine in a waiting room recently, I came across an article with the title "My top five most precious possessions(財(cái)產(chǎn))". It was just a few lines of text with pictures, but it caught my imagination.

It's interesting how inanimate (無生命的) objects can take on such significance and become woven (編織) into a person's, and sometimes a whole family's, life history.

Anyway, the article had me considering what my most precious possessions are. It was difficult to choose only five, but here are mine:

An old cardboard box filled with my children's baby photos.

A yellow pocket-sized birthday book of special things (poems, pictures of flowers and trees, etc) given to me by my dad when I was probably about seven or eight years old.

A 21st birthday card from my mum. In it she's written her congratulations, her love, and her hopes for my future. She died not long after, when I was in my early twenties.

A few ancient but very beautiful botany books that were once my great grandmother's. She was a botanist in a time when it was relatively unusual for women to be qualified in this field and I think she was probably a remarkable and very interesting woman. I'd like to have known her.

A brooch (胸針) left to me by my much-loved grandmother. It is not worth anything in terms of money. However, it not only stands for a link between four generations of women, but it is also a reminder of one young man's return from World War I.

How about you? I'd love to hear what you feel are your most precious possessions.

【解析】

本文為記敘文，作者介紹了自己生命中最珍貴的五樣?xùn)|西及有關(guān)的故事。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Looking through a magazine in a waiting room recently, I came across an article with the title “My top five most precious possessions(財(cái)產(chǎn))”. It was just a few lines of text with pictures, but it caught my imagination.”最近在候診室翻閱一本雜志時(shí)，我看到一篇題為“我最珍貴的五件物品”的文章。這只是幾行文字和圖片，但它吸引了我的想象力�？芍�，在雜志上的一篇文章讓作者有寫這篇文章的想法。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“An old cardboard box filled with my children's baby photos.”一個(gè)舊紙箱，里面裝著我孩子們的嬰兒照片。表明作者已是幾個(gè)孩子的母親。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“She was a botanist in a time when it was relatively unusual for women to be qualified in this field and I think she was probably a remarkable and very interesting woman.”她是一個(gè)植物學(xué)家，在那個(gè)時(shí)代，女性在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域獲得資格是相對(duì)不尋常的，我認(rèn)為她可能是一個(gè)了不起的、非常有趣的女性�？芍�，她有可能成為一個(gè)植物學(xué)家。故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“It's interesting how inanimate (無生命的) objects can take on such significance and become woven (編織) into a person's, and sometimes a whole family's, life history.”再結(jié)合作者對(duì)她的五樣最珍貴的東西的描述，可知，在作者看來，一些被認(rèn)為是最珍貴的東西應(yīng)該能夠改變一個(gè)人甚至整個(gè)家庭的生活。故選A。B項(xiàng)具有干擾性，但較之于A項(xiàng)來說較為片面。
