Question

    “Will you come with us, Susan?" cried several girls. "We are going to the woods; do come, too."

"I would like to go with you," replied Susan," but I can't finish the task Grandmother set me to do."

"How boring it must be to stay at home to work on a holiday!" said one of them, shaking her head." Susan's grandmother is too strict."

At this, Susan lowered her head, wiped away a tear, and thought of the pleasant afternoon the girls would spend gathering wild flowers.

Soon she said to herself, "What harm can there be in moving the mark Grandmother put in the stocking? The woods must be beautiful today, and how I should like to be there!"

"Grandmother," said she, a few minutes afterwards, "I'm ready now."

"What, so soon, Susan?" Her grandmother took the work, and looked at it very closely.

“True, Susan," said she, "true, I have counted it, and, as you've never deceived me, you may go and enjoy yourself."

Susan's face turned red, and she did not say "thank you". As she left, she walked slowly away, not singing as usual.

"Why, here is Susan!” the girls cried. "But what is the matter? Why have you left your dear grandmother?" they jokingly added.

“It's nothing." As Susan replied, she felt she was trying to deceive herself.

When the girls had reached an open space, they ran about enjoying themselves except Susan. Sitting on the grass, how she wished she were at home confessing her fault.

After a while Rose cried out, "Let's make a crown of violets, and put it on the head of the best girl here."

"It will be easy enough to make the crown, but not so easy to decide who is to wear it ," said Julia.

"Why? Susan is to wear it, of course," said Rose." Is she not said to be the best girl in school and the most obedient at home?”

“Yes, yes. The crown shall be for Susan," cried the other girls, and they began to make the crown. It was soon finished.

"Now, Susan," said Rose, "put it on in a very careful way, for you are to be our queen.”

The crown was placed on Susan's head. But in a moment, she snatched it off, threw it on the ground and said, "No crown for me. I do not deserve it."

The girls looked at her with surprise. "I have deceived my grandmother," said she, while tears flowed down her cheeks.

“Do you think that bad?" asked one of the girls.

"I'm sure it is and I have been miserable all the time I have been here."

Susan ran home, as soon as she saw Grandmother, she cried, "Grandmother! I should be punished, for I moved the mark you put in the stocking. Do forgive me; I am very sorry and unhappy."

“Susan," said her grandmother, "I knew it all the time, but I let you go out, hoping that you can realize your fault. I am so glad that you have confessed your fault."

"When shall I be your own little girl again?”

“Now!" was the quick reply, and Susan's grandmother kissed her forehead.

【解析】

本文讲述了苏珊的奶奶给了她任务，几个女孩邀请她去小树林里去玩，但是她非常想去，她对她奶奶撒谎说做完了。女孩们到达一个空地时，除了苏珊，她们玩得很开心。罗斯提议用紫罗兰做一顶花冠，戴在这儿最好的姑娘的头上。她们认为苏珊是学校里最好的、家里最听话的女孩，花冠应该苏珊戴。当花冠戴在苏珊的头上，她把它扔在地上说：“不要给我花冠。我不配。我欺骗了我的祖母。” 苏珊跑回家，向奶奶承认了错误。她奶奶说：“苏珊，我一直都知道，但我让你出去了，希望你能意识到自己的错。我很高兴你认错了。”

1.细节题。根据第4段“At this, Susan lowered her head, wiped away a tear, and thought of the pleasant afternoon the girls would spend gathering wild flowers.（这时，苏珊低下头，擦去一滴眼泪，想到姑娘们要花一个愉快的下午去采野花。）”可知“这个故事发生在下午”。故选B。

2.细节题。根据第1段和2段““Will you come with us, Susan? ” cried several girls. "We are going to the woods; do come, too."( “苏珊，你愿意和我们一起去吗？”几个女孩喊道。“我们要去树林，也一定要来。”) "I would like to go with you," replied Susan," but I can't finish the task Grandmother set me to do."（“我想和你一起去，”苏珊回答说，“但我不能完成祖母给我安排的任务。”）”可知 “c.苏珊的祖母让她做这项工作。然后，d.姑娘们邀请苏珊去树林里玩”。根据第16段中“and they began to make the crown.（她们开始做花冠。）”可知接着“a.姑娘们在树林里用紫罗兰做了一顶花冠。”根据第14段第2句“But in a moment, she snatched it off, threw it on the ground.（但不一会儿，她一把抓起，扔在地上。）可知下一句是“e.苏珊把紫色的花冠扔在地上。”根据第18段“Susan ran home, as soon as she saw Grandmother, she cried,"Grandmother! I should be punished, for I moved the mark you put in the stocking . Do forgive me;I am very sorry and unhappy."（苏珊跑回家，一看见奶奶，就哭了，“奶奶！我应该受到惩罚，因为我把你放在长筒袜上的记号挪动了。请原谅我，我非常抱歉和不高兴）”可知最后“b.苏珊因为她的错误向奶奶道歉”。故选A。

3.理解判断题。根据最后三段“Susan, "said her grandmother," I knew it all the time,…“Now!" was the quick reply, and Susan's grandmother kissed her forehead.”(苏珊奶奶说：“我早就知道了。我让你出去，希望你自己发现错了，现在看到你承认了错误，知道悔过，我很高兴。”“什么时候我还可以像以前一样，是您最可爱的小孙女呢?”“现在就可以。”伴随着迅速的回答，奶奶亲吻了一下苏珊的前额。）”故选C。

4.词意猜测题。surprised惊奇的，惊讶的；excited激动的，兴奋的；regretful后悔的，失望的。根据上文““Do you think that bad?” asked one of the girls. （“你觉得这样不好吗？”其中一个女孩问。）”可知此句“I'm sure it is and I have been miserable all the time I have been here.”句意是：我敢肯定，我在这里一直很痛苦。可知“miserable”意思是“痛苦的， 非常难受的，后悔的”，故选C。

5.最佳标题。本文讲述了几个女孩邀请苏珊去小树林里去玩，她非常想去，但是她奶奶给她的工作没完成。于是她对她奶奶撒谎说做完了。除了苏珊，女孩们玩得很开心。罗斯提议用紫罗兰做一顶花冠，戴在这儿最好的姑娘的头上。她们认为苏珊是学校里最好的、家里最听话的女孩，花冠应该苏珊戴。苏珊说：“不要给我花冠。我不配。我欺骗了我的祖母。” 可知这篇文章最好的标题是《不要给我花冠》；故选A。
