　　36. C　開始喜歡花草不是因為熱愛自然，而是當時的“我”很叛逆，由于父母不喜歡種植花木，我這樣做只是為了和父母作對，惹他們生氣。intention在此表示“初衷”。

　　37. D　見上題解析。

　　38. A　由空前的a beautiful maple tree及后面的Those golden leaves seemed like tons of rubbish to her…可以推出母親在看著這件大自然的工藝作品時，是充滿疑慮的。

　　39. C　母親認為那些金黃色的葉子是一堆垃圾，所以應該清除。

　　44. D　自己的堅持和勞作終于有了結果，用eventually來表示結果來之不易。

　　45. B　盡管“我”的花園有了滿園春色，但根據該題后的my parents showed no interests可知此處表示轉折。

　　46. A　因為花草影響了父親開車，父親很生氣地沖“我”大喊大叫(shout at)。

　　47. B　花草滿地使父親開車進出不方便。

　　48. B　母親也不喜歡花草，“我”把“我”種的花放在她的花瓶里，她也只是把它們當成了草。sadness表示傷感，與母親的喜好無關。

　　49. C　rather than此處表示“而不是”， other than意思是“除了……沒有”，more than和less than分別表示“多于”，“少于”。

　　50. A　regardless of表示讓步，此處意思是“盡管父母不喜歡，我仍然堅持擺弄花草”。

　　51. C　continue在此表示“執著和堅持”。

　　52. C　花草有情，對“我的愛心”有反應和回報。

　　【要點綜述】本文為記敘文，敘述了在一場雷雨引發房屋火災之后，Sibson如何自救，以及他的鄰居Huggons幫他脫離險境的驚心動魄的故事。

　　21. A　此句句意為：在Sibson還不知道發生什么事情的時候，便被一聲雷震醒。此處before表示“還來不及……就……”。

　　22. D　“暴風雨直襲他的兩層木屋”，暴風雨應該是從房屋上方襲來，故用over。

　　23. C　根據后文“他打開通向地下室的門”可以判斷Sibson沖下樓梯的目的是“查看一下”到底發生了什么事情。

　　24. D　他打開地下室的門，火焰從里面噴發出來。此處explode out意為break out(突然爆發)。

　　25. A　根據此句中“因為這個房間有一個通向屋外的獨立的樓梯”可知，他當時感覺應該是“安全的”。

　　26. B　當他正想通過那個樓梯出去的時候，卻被一堵火墻阻攔(stop)，故用B。

　　27. B　根據前面“three kilometers”及后文“so well hidden by trees”可知他的房子應該是離開主干道有三公里。故用介詞off。

　　28. C　由于離開主干道三公里且被樹所遮蔽，因此呼救是沒有結果的(fruitless)，故選C。

　　29. A　突然他聽到了像煙霧警報器之類的聲音。strike one’s ears“傳進某人的耳朵；突然聽到”。

　　30. D　根據后文Huggons撥打911可知，他是帶上了他的電話。故選D。

　　31. A　Huggons應該是朝著他所聽到的聲音方向而去。故選A。

　　32. B　警察應該是警告Huggons不要進入Sibson的房子。故選enter。

　　33. C　Huggons說他無論如何都不能聽Sibson在拼命呼喊，死在火中。應使用scream。

　　34. A　Huggons進入房子，但由于煙霧很大，他很快不得不跑回來“喘口氣”。此處catch one’s breath意為“喘口氣”，故答案選A。35. D　在又一次打算進入房子的嘗試之后，Huggons最后還是放棄了，繞著圈子回來了。此處應使用attempt(嘗試)。

　　36. B　由于煙霧很大，Huggons應該是繞圈子從房子里面出來的，故選B。

　　37. C　當風將煙霧吹得足夠的分散，以至他能夠看到Sibson。此處part表示“將……分開”，因此不能用open，因此答案選C。

　　38. D　他用手電筒往叢林中照。此處shine the flashlight為固定說法，意為“用手電筒照”。故選D。

　　39. C　Huggons將梯子搭在房子上，將Sibson從二樓拽下來。此時二樓房子就要倒了，為了形容動作之快，故用pull。

　　40. D　根據后文Sibson自己所說的話“我當天晚上是一個人。然后我聽到了我生命中最美麗的聲音，是Huggons的。”可知，他對Huggons心存感激。故選D。
