"Miss Smith! What rough (粗糙的) hands Mary...

    "Miss Smith! What rough (粗糙的) hands Mary Jessup has! "said Daisy Marvin, as she walked home from school with her teacher.

"In my opinion, Daisy, Mary's hands are the prettiest in our class."

"Why? Miss Smith, they are as red and hard as they can be. How they would look if she tried to play on a piano!" Daisy said.

Miss Smith took Daisy's hands in hers, and said, "Your hands are very soft and white, just the hands to look beautiful on a piano: yet they don't have one beauty that Mary's hands do. Shall tell you what the difference is?"

"Yes, please, Miss Smith." Daisy looked at Miss Smith, with eyes wide open.

"Well, Daisy, Mary's hands are very busy. They wash dishes; they make fires; they hang out clothes, and help to wash them, too: they are always trying to help her poor, hard-working mother."

Miss Smith continued, "Besides, they wash and dress the children; they mend their toys and dress their dolls; yet, they find time to bathe the head of the little girl who is so sick in the next house to theirs."

"They do good deeds (行为) to every living thing. I have seen them patting the tired horse and the homeless dog in the street. They are always ready to help those who need help."

"I shall never think Mary's hands are ugly any more, Miss Smith." Daisy said that with tears in eyes.

"I am glad to hear you say that, Daisy; and I must tell you that they are beautiful because they help others gladly and cheerfully."

"Oh, Miss Smith! I feel so ashamed of myself and so sorry, "said Daisy, looking into her teacher's face with shining eyes.

"My dear, beauty doesn't lie in how one looks but what he does."

1.B 2.C 3.D 4.D 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文,黛西认为玛丽粗糙的双手非常丑陋,老师告诉黛西,玛丽的手是最美的,因为她乐于助人,有着美好的品行。文章告诉我们:美丽不关乎外表,重要的是人们的行为。 1.细节理解题。根据第一、三段“What rough (粗糙的) hands Mary Jessup has…they are as red and hard as they can be”可知,黛西最初认为玛丽的手很丑陋。故选B。 2.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“I must tell you that they are beautiful because they help others gladly and cheerfully”可知,史密斯太太认为“乐于助人”是一种美丽。故选C。 3.推理判断题。根据第九、十一段“I shall never think Mary's hands are ugly any more…I feel so ashamed of myself and so sorry”可知,黛西听完老师对玛丽的评价后,她为自己的言行感到抱歉,故可推知她对“美”有了更好的理解。故选D。 4.最佳标题题。根据第二段“Mary's hands are the prettiest in our class”及最后一段“beauty doesn't lie in how one looks but what he does”可知,本文主要以“玛丽的手”为线索贯穿全文,讲述了美不关乎外表,而在于所作所为。玛丽乐于助人、勤俭有担当,所以她有一双美丽的手,故“美丽的双手”可作文本文标题。故选D。
