Grandma was busy cooking in the kitchen and Sera was always to be here for dinner.
There were many photographs of past and present  1  members and many other old things on her grandma’s table. Among them, she especially loved the large clay pot (陶壶). It was beautiful, painted in many colours.
“May I hold it?” asked Sera.
“Yes, but please be  2 . It is very old.” Grandma picked up the pot with gentle hands, gave it to Sera, and then went into the kitchen.
Sera decided to sit on the sofa. The sofa was a few feet  3  her. She went backward.  4  a toy truck was there. The truck rolled (滚动) away when Sera stepped on it. She fell back onto the sofa. The clay pot  5  out of her hands and up into the air! It landed on the floor.
Sera could hear the clay crack (裂痕). “No, no!” she cried. She heard grandma’s footsteps coming toward her. How could she face her grandma now?
“It’s not so  6 , Sera,” Grandma said. “Come on. You can repair the pot.”
“Let me tell you a story about that pot.”
Grandma pointed to another crack in the pot. Sera had never  7  it before. “My grandma made this crack when she was about your age,” said grandma. “She was carrying it back to the village  8  it fell onto the road. It had been full of  9 , so she got all wet!” She pointed to another crack. “This crack came when I dropped the pot on a big boat that brought  10  here from Canada,” said grandma smiling. Sera laughed and held up the pot. She could see now how each crack had become part of the colourful design--and part of her family’s story.

小题2:通过Grandma picked up the pot with gentle hands中奶奶的动作可知,她是让赛若小心一点。故应该用careful。所以本题选C。

小题9:根据 so she got all wet!可知,陶壶中应该是盛满水。“水”是water。所以本题选B。
小题10:根据brought可知,后面应该跟宾格,故用us。Bring us here是“带我们到这里”。所以本题选C。
点评:在阅读时,应该注意奶奶前后的表现及态度,体会她为什么会有是这样变化的。在填空时,要注意上下文,根据文章的意思,确定所需要的词。另外,还应该注意对词的辨析。本题的难度稍微大点,需要反复阅读。

For years I wanted a garden. I’d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.
But then we had Matthew, and Marvin, and the twins Alisa and Alan, and then Helen. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was not enough. Neither was time. Often when my children were little,one of them would want something that cost too much, and I’d have to say, “Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn't grow on trees, you know.”
Finally, all the children got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about a garden.
Then, one spring morning, on Mother’s Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. There were things blowing around on it. Then I put my glasses on—and I couldn’t believe what I saw.
There was a money tree in my yard!
I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills*, one hundred of them, hanging all over that tree. There was also a note among them, “Thank you for your time, Mom. We love you!”
Later, my children bought me tools, ornaments, a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books. A new page started in my life.
That was three years ago. My garden’s now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and take care of my flowers, I don’t seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they’re right there with me. Now every year when winter comes, I look out of my window and think of the flowers I’ll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes—every time.
I’m still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!
小题1:How many children did the writer have?
A.ThreeB.FourC.FiveD.Six
小题2: What did the mother mean when she said “Money doesn’t grow on trees”?
A.She was too busy to plant a money tree at that time.
B.She had to save money so that she could have a garden.
C.It wasn’t easy for her to make money to raise all the children.
D.They didn’t have much money because the mother lost her job.
小题3: The “money tree” appeared in the writer’s yard _________.
A.before her children were born
B.one spring morning when the children were little
C.after the children went to school
D.on a Mother’s Day after the children left her
小题4: The children planted a money tree in their mother’s yard because _________.
A.their mother needed money badly
B.they wanted to show their love to their mother
C.it was time for them to give the money back to her
D.they wanted to live together with their mother forever
