（二）

1. A。從后面的 where her children and grandchildren came to visit her frequently 來看，她是獨自一人住。

2. D。前面說她住的房子很寬敞、很舒適，后面說 she was unhappy，因此可知此處用 However 表示轉(zhuǎn)折。

3. B。從語境來看，她丈夫已去世，她現(xiàn)在獨居，故她常?？紤]年老問題及自己已去世的丈夫。

4. C。從后面的 She knew old people became set in their ways and didn’t like to be told what to do 及下文她成功地讓 Mrs White 高興起來等來看，Mrs Green 是個很有經(jīng)驗的大夫。

5. C。前面說 Mrs Green 很有經(jīng)驗，這是有經(jīng)驗的具體體現(xiàn)。她決定在說點什么前先了解一下 Mrs White，以便對癥下藥。get to know sb 意為“開始認識某人，了解某人”。

6. A。此處談?wù)摰氖?Mrs Green 初次見到 Mrs White 的情景，這是她初次拜訪 Mrs White。

7. C。Mrs Green 提出看看 Mrs White 的房子，她高興地答應(yīng)了，由此可推測 Mrs White 對自己的房子應(yīng)是很驕傲的。第1段中也交代了她的房子很寬敞舒適。

8. D。從語境看，此處寫的是 Mrs Green 在 Mrs White 家里參觀的場景，故用 walk 才符合在家里轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)看看的實際。

9. D。Mrs Green 提出要在房子里轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)看看時，事先并不知道 Mrs White 家養(yǎng)了那么多紫羅蘭。當(dāng)她們轉(zhuǎn)悠時，Mrs Green突然“注意”到了紫羅蘭。

11. B。從 I love these flowers and they grow so fast 及下文來看，Mrs White家的紫羅蘭“越來越多”。

12. B。從語境可知，這是看完房子后 Mrs Green 給 Mrs White 提出的建議。be over 意為“結(jié)束”。

13. C。這里指 Mrs Green 根據(jù) Mrs White 的具體情況提出一條建議。make a suggestion為固定搭配，意為“提建議”。

14 D 從送鮮花來看，四個選項中只有 get married 符合送花的實際。至于 A（ill）因文中已涉及到了，故此處應(yīng)排除。

15. C。從上文的 I have one suggestion to ___13___ 來看，此處應(yīng)填advice。在此 advice與suggestion 是同義詞。

16. A。Mrs Green 曾建議 Mrs Green 把紫羅蘭花送給一些朋友。從上下文來看，自從 Mrs Green拜訪她之后，她有幾個月的時間都沒有贈送任何紫羅蘭。give away 意為“捐贈，贈送”。

17. B。從下文她帶著纏著絲帶的鮮花去參加婚禮及語境來看，此處說的是她被邀請參加鄰居女兒的婚禮。

18. C。前面敘述的是 Mrs White首次帶著鮮花參加一個鄰居女兒的婚禮，這里說的是后來又有一次她帶著鮮花去看望因病住院的朋友。later意為“以后，后來”，這是相對上次她參加婚禮而言的。

19. D。前面說有幾個月她并沒有按大夫說的那樣做，之后列舉了兩次送花的事，由此可推測她接受大夫送鮮花的建議有個過程，是漸漸地進行的，故用gradually（漸漸地）。

20. B。幾年來她堅持把鮮花送出，于是就有人稱她為 the violet lady，即她以 the violet lady 而出名。Be / become known as… 可看作短語，意為“以……而出名”。
