Question

Embroidering(刺繡)
When I was a little boy living in New York, my mother used to embroider a great deal. I would sit at her knee and look up from the    36    and ask what she was doing. She   37  me that she was embroidering. I told her that it looked like a mess from where I was. As from the underside I watched her work within the    38  of the little round hoop（鐵環(huán)）that she held in her hand, I complained to her that it sure looked   39   from where I sat.
She would smile at me, look down and  40   say, "My son, you go about your    41   for a while, and when I am finished with my embroidering, I will put you on my    42   and let you see it from my side."
I would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the    43   ones and why they seemed so jumbled（混亂的）from my   44  . A few minutes would pass and then I would hear Mother's voice say, " Son, come and sit on my knee." This I did only to be  surprised and    45  to see a beautiful flower or a sunset. I could not    46  it, because from underneath it looked so messy.
Then mother would    47   to me, "My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumbled, but you did not realize that there was a   48  plan on the top. It was a    49   . I was only following it. Now look at it from my side    50   you will see what I was doing."
Many    51    through the years, I have    52   up to my Heavenly Father and said, “ Father, what are You doing? ” He    53   , “ I am embroidering your    54  . ”I say, " But it looks like a mess to me. It seems so jumbled. The threads seem so dark. Why can't they all be bright ? " The Father seems to tell me, " My child, you go about your business of doing My business, and one day I will bring you to    55   and put you on my knee and you will see the plan from My side. "

解析試題分析：文中作者講述了自己小時(shí)候看母親刺繡的事情，刺繡時(shí)繡品的正面涇渭分明，圖案精美，而反面則絲線交錯(cuò)，雜亂無章。所以在生活中也是這樣，當(dāng)你感到人生迷茫世事紛亂的時(shí)候，其實(shí)你只是看到事情的反面而已。
【小題1】A名詞辨析。A地板；B 角落；C 天花板；D 臺(tái)階。從下文As from the underside I watched her work可以推測(cè)得知孩子應(yīng)該是站在低處看母親刺繡，所以看到的是絲線雜亂。A選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題2】D動(dòng)詞辨析。A 要求；B責(zé)備；C 勸說；D 通知，告知。that she was embroidering.是母親說話的內(nèi)容，所以此處用inform ，句意：母親告訴我她在刺繡。D選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題3】B名詞辨析。A 裝飾；B 邊界，分界線；C圖片；D表面。從常識(shí)可知刺繡時(shí)候應(yīng)該在鐵箍或者竹子做的繃子以內(nèi)刺繡，所以B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題4】A形容詞辨析。A 混亂的；B 骯的；C 破舊的；D 緊的。從下文why they seemed so jumbled（混亂的）可知在刺繡的背面線是雜亂的，故A選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題5】C副詞辨析。A機(jī)智靈敏地；B小心謹(jǐn)慎地； C溫柔地；D 精確準(zhǔn)確地。從情理可知孩子在回答孩子問題時(shí)，母親說話應(yīng)該是柔聲細(xì)語的。
【小題6】B動(dòng)詞辨析。A 抱怨；B 玩耍；C 刺繡；D 想象。從下文when I am finished with my embroidering, I will put you on可知母親在刺繡，按情理應(yīng)該是讓孩子去玩一會(huì)，回頭再讓孩子來看。所以B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題7】C名詞辨析。A 后背；B 椅子；C 膝蓋；D 桌子。下文母親喊Son, come and sit on my knee."由此可知母親讓孩子做到膝蓋上，C選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題8】C形容詞辨析。A 白色的；B 黑色的；C 鮮艷的；D 閃光的。從文章最后作者問上帝的話The threads seem so dark. Why can't they all be bright ?可以推測(cè)刺繡時(shí)候有黑線，當(dāng)然也有鮮艷的絲線。C選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題9】D名詞辨析。A 眼睛；B 觀點(diǎn)；C 心臟；D 視覺，視線。從上下文可知是從小孩子站的角度和視線來看，刺繡背面雜亂的狀態(tài)。所以正確選項(xiàng)為D。
【小題10】B形容詞辨析。A 有希望的；B 激動(dòng)震顫的；C 令人期望的；D 熱情的。作者此時(shí)坐在母親膝蓋上看到得是刺繡的正面，正面和反面截然不同，所以孩子感到驚訝。和surprised同類的詞是 “感到震驚的”，所以B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題11】A動(dòng)詞辨析。A 相信；B 考慮；C 看到；D 觸摸。從上文可知孩子從低處看到的和坐在母親膝蓋上看到的完全不同，所以作者驚訝震撼不相信眼前的情景， A選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題12】C動(dòng)詞辨析。A談話；B 提及；C 說；D 低語。從下文的"My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumble可知此處是母親在和孩子說話，C選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題13】A動(dòng)詞辨析。A 提前畫的；B 預(yù)演，試映；C 儲(chǔ)藏，保存；D 生產(chǎn)。從常識(shí)可知刺繡時(shí)要提前把花樣畫到布上，所以A 選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題14】D名詞辨析。A 方向；B 線條；C 圖表；D 花樣。刺繡時(shí)按照畫的圖案都稱為花樣，故D選項(xiàng)正確。句意：那就是圖案花樣。
【小題15】B連詞辨析。A 或者；B 并且；C 直到；D 除非。Look at it from my side 和 you will see what
I was doing是兩個(gè)并列句，前后表示順承關(guān)系。所以B選項(xiàng)正確。句意：從我這邊看，你就能看到我所做的了。
【小題16】A名詞辨析。A 次數(shù)；B 天，日子；C 季節(jié)；D 機(jī)會(huì)。從語境可知每當(dāng)作者迷茫無措時(shí)，他都會(huì)想起母親的刺繡，所以此處應(yīng)該是多次。A選項(xiàng)正確。句意：這么多年來，很多次我都抬頭仰望上帝。。
【小題17】D動(dòng)詞辨析。A 爬；B跳；C 喊，嚷；D 看。因?yàn)槭呛蜕系蹖?duì)話，所以應(yīng)該是仰視在天堂的Heavenly Father，look up to 仰視，尊敬；D選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題18】B動(dòng)詞辨析。A 要求；B 回答；C 指示，命令；D 得出結(jié)論。從前句Father, what are You doing? ”可知是作者發(fā)問，所以推測(cè)后面上帝回答道。B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題19】C名詞辨析。A決定；B 機(jī)會(huì)，財(cái)富；C 生活；D 生意。從下文內(nèi)容可知此處是指作者生活中感到混亂，茫然的時(shí)候，而且life 詞意更廣，所以C選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題20】D名詞辨析。A 家 ；B 母親；C 美國；D 天堂。因?yàn)樽髡呤窃趯�問上帝，所以�?yīng)該是去天堂，故D選項(xiàng)正確。
