Question

【題目】 About 12 years ago, I began making a series of dolls called “Wee Forest Folk”. At first, I made them from cloth but then began using a kind of polymer clay (軟陶) called Cernit. The cloth dolls were beautiful, but it was impossible to get the level of details (細(xì)節(jié)) I can get with clay.

First, I use wire (金屬絲) to build the shape of the doll. Then I cover the head, hands, and feet around the wire by using the Cernit. Then I make the doll's clothes myself, using lots of different materials. The completed dolls are fixed onto hardwood bases made by my father, Jim Logan.

Generally, the dolls show older people taking part in traditional activities. I've always had a great respect for the older generation.

Inspiration for the dolls often comes from people I know. Once I was caught looking too closely at the wrinkles (皺紋) on the face of one of my mom's friends. But I explained that her laughter lines made her more attractive.

Now I work as a teacher's assistant, and while I was raising my two daughters, Keri and Sheryl, I could work on the dolls only late at night. The girls loved to come downstairs the next morning to see who'd arrived in the night.

It's the detail that I enjoy working on the most. I once made a fisherman doll for a lady to give her father, including a tiny creel — a basket used by fishermen for carrying fish. When the man got the doll, he immediately opened the creel to see what was inside. Luckily, I'd made a small fish out of Cernit and placed it in the basket.

Hopefully my story will inspire others to try their hand at doll making — I find it very relaxing and interesting.

【3】D

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。作者講述了自己制作娃娃的故事。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第一、二段詳細(xì)講述了作者制作娃娃的過程，特別是根據(jù)第一段中的At first, I made them from cloth but then began using a kind of polymer clay (軟陶) called Cernit.及第二段中的First, I use wire (金屬絲) to build the shape of the doll. Then I cover the head, hands, and feet around the wire by using the Cernit. Then I make the doll's clothes myself, using lots of different materials.等細(xì)節(jié)可知，這些娃娃是作者純手工制作的，故A項(xiàng)正確。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的Inspiration for the dolls often comes from people I know. Once I was caught looking too closely at the wrinkles(皺紋) on the face of one of my mom's friends.可知，塑造娃娃的面部表情的靈感通常來自我認(rèn)識的人，有一次，我密切地注視著我媽媽的一個朋友臉上的皺紋。由此可知，作者仔細(xì)看她母親的朋友的臉是為了獲得創(chuàng)造性的想法。故B項(xiàng)正確。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的It's the detail that I enjoy working on the most. I once made a fisherman doll for a lady to give her father,可知，我最喜歡處理細(xì)節(jié)，我曾經(jīng)為一位女士做了一個漁夫娃娃，讓她送給她的父親，作者提到漁夫娃娃的故事就是為了證明她的娃娃有很好的細(xì)節(jié)。故D項(xiàng)正確。

本篇第3題推理判斷題難度較大，抓住段落主題句是關(guān)鍵，根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一句It's the detail that I enjoy working on the most.可知，我最喜歡處理細(xì)節(jié)，緊接著提到我曾經(jīng)為一位女士做了一個漁夫娃娃，作者提到漁夫娃娃的故事就是為了證明這一點(diǎn)，即：她的娃娃有很好的細(xì)節(jié)。故D項(xiàng)正確。
