Question

【題目】 I saw the most beautiful thing ever one morning. It was early with a slight frost on the ground, and I was walking on grass down to the farm—my mind on the daily routines.

Suddenly a shining flash erupted straight from the ground about 15 feet in front of me, and shot up into the sky. It was so brilliant, clear and clean. I thought the only thing that could make such a flash must be a diamond—maybe someone had lost some kind of jewelry. Or some kind of lightning strikes—so bright. I waited to see if it repeated but it didn’t.

I walked slowly towards it. There was nothing to see. I stared down at the grass, searching for gold or some kind of metal. Nothing. So I dropped down really close and there it was! A tiny spider’s web, delicately hanging between grass, flashing in a number of colors. The rising sun had caught the exact angle of the dewdrops (露珠), and that light had exploded up into the sky.

It was unbelievable, such a powerful flash from something so small and fragile, and I would have destroyed it beneath my feet. It was as if the unseen world was giving me a heads-up. Hello! Look what’s around you. I’ve never forgotten that moment.

So take some time to notice the wonder of nature that most of us never even see. So much beauty all around us if we would only take the time. Look at the tiny flowers that cover playing fields—we walk all over them without a second glance. The colors of practically any flower on the earth are breathtaking and all natural—if we would only notice. Take the time and discover from nature one secret beautiful thing that you can keep in your heart. Take a picture. It’s what life really consists of. And it’s free.

【2】D

【3】A

【解析】

這是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章記敘了作者在一個早上看到了一道閃光，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)這道明亮的閃光是一個小小的蜘蛛網(wǎng)引起的。這讓作者感悟到應該花點時間去看看那些我們從未見過的自然奇觀，學會去欣賞自然之美。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中A tiny spider’s web, delicately hanging between grass, flashing in a number of colors. The rising sun had caught the exact angle of the dewdrops , and that light had exploded up into the sky.（一個微小的蜘蛛網(wǎng)，優(yōu)雅地掛在草地之間，閃爍著多種顏色。初升的太陽正好照在露珠的角度上，那光便在天空中爆炸了。）可知實際上是蜘蛛網(wǎng)引起了閃光。故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段It was unbelievable, such a powerful flash from something so small and fragile, and I would have destroyed it beneath my feet. It was as if the unseen world was giving me a heads-up. Hello! Look what’s around you. I’ve never forgotten that moment.（這是難以置信的，如此強大的閃光來自如此小和脆弱的東西，我可以將它在我的腳下摧毀。仿佛看不見的世界在提醒我。你好!看看你的周圍。我永遠不會忘記那一刻。）可知作者覺得這個發(fā)現(xiàn)令人難忘是因為這微小的事物觸動了她的心靈。故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中Take the time and discover from nature one secret beautiful thing that you can keep in your heart. Take a picture. It’s what life really consists of. And it’s free.（花點時間，從大自然中發(fā)現(xiàn)一個你可以藏在心里的美麗秘密。拍張照片。這才是生活的真諦。而且它是免費的。）可知作者在最后一段想要表達欣賞自然之美。故選A。
