Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2017·三明市毕业班质量预测)Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, “Mum, you must come and see the daffodils (水仙花) before they are over.” I wanted to go, but it was a twohour drive from Lake Arrowhead. “I will go next Tuesday，” I promised, a little unwillingly, on her third call.
The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyn's house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said, “Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible (看不见的) in the cloud and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see！”
My daughter smiled calmly and said, “We drive in this weather all the time, Mum. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience.”
After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a handlettered sign that read “Daffodil Garden”．
We got out of the car and each took a child's hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped. Before me lay the most beautiful sight! There were five acres of flowers！“But who has done this？” I asked Carolyn.“It's just one woman，”
Carolyn answered. “That's her home，” Carolyn pointed to a wellkept Aframe house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio (平台), we saw a poster. “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking” was the headline.
The first answer was a simple one. “50,000 bulbs (鳞茎) ，” it read. The second answer was, “One at a time, by one woman.” The third answer was, “Began in 1958.”
I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than fifty years before, had begun — one bulb at a time — to bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top.
语篇解读：一位女士在五十多年前开始种植水仙花。她一次种植一株，现在她5英亩的花园里已经有五万株水仙花，构成一幅令人陶醉的美景。
1．The author didn't go to see the daffodils at first because ________.
A．she was not interested in them
B．they were growing on the mountain top
C．the weather was not good enough
D．it was not easy for her to drive there
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句可知作者感觉路途太远，不太想去看水仙花。
答案：D
2．What do we know about the woman living in the Aframe house?
A．She must be out of mind.
B．She acted as a gardener there.
C．It took her great determination to grow the daffodils.
D．She was poor and made her living by selling the daffodils.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章的倒数第二段可知，一位女士，自1958年以来，每次只种植一棵花茎，现在她5英亩的花园里有五万株水仙花。由此可以推断：在种植水仙花的过程中，这位女士下了很大的决心去种植水仙花。
答案：C3．What could the author probably learn from this experience?
A．Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it.
B．We must put the interests of others above our own.
C．We can change the world by growing flowers.
D．It's never too late to learn.

答案：A
4．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．An Unforgettable Experience
B．Beautiful Daffodils
C．One Bulb at a Time
D．I Love Daffodils

任务型读写
(2017·合肥八中第三次段考)Invention is a creative process. An open and curious mind enables one to see beyond what is known. Seeing a new possibility, a new connection or relationship can spark (引发) an invention. Inventive thinking frequently involves combining concepts or elements from different fields that would not normally be put together. Sometimes inventors skip over the boundaries between separate fields. Ways of thinking, materials, processes or tools from one field are used as no one else has imagined in a different field.
Play can lead to invention. Childhood curiosity like playing in a sand box, imagination can develop one's play nature — an inner need according to Carl Jung. Inventors feel the need to play with things that interest them, and to explore, and this internal drive brings about interesting creations.
Inventing can also be an obsession (痴迷)．Inventors often imagine a new idea, seeing it in their mind's eye. New ideas can arise when the conscious mind turns away from the subject or problem; or when the focus is on something else; or even while relaxing or sleeping. An unusual idea may come all of a sudden! For example, after years of working to figure out the general theory of relativity, the solution came to Einstein suddenly in a dream “like a giant die making an unforgettable impress, a huge map of the universe summarized itself in one clear vision”．
Invention can also be accidental. Insight (洞察力) is also an important element of invention. It may begin with questions or doubt. It may begin by recognizing something unusual. It may be useful and it could open a new way for exploration. For example, the odd metallic color of plastic made by accidenally adding too much catalyst (催化剂) led scientists to explore its metallike properties (性能). They then invented electrically conductive plastic and light emitting (散发) plastic — an invention that won the Nobel Prize in 2000 and has led to new kind of lighting, display screens, wallpaper and much more.
