分析 作者通过描述自己院子里面顽强生长的向日葵悟出了这样一个道理：如果我们相信自己的能力，我们便可以克服一切困难，实现自己的人生目标．

解答 答案：
41．A    联系上下文  根据第二段中的第一句"Last summer，I found a tiny little（43）in the yard"提到了作者在院子里发现了…，可知这里指的应是：他们的院子；故选A．
42．D  考查句意理解以及从属连词   本句的意思是：只为了给这里增添一些色彩，通常在我们有花的时候，我或者Denise会在石头之间种上一些；故此处指的是：当…时候；应使用连词when，故选D．
43．B    联系上下文    根据本段中的最后两句"I knew I didn't plant it and Denise said she didn't either．We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was．"作者他们谁都没有种它，得等它长得大时，才能分辨出它是什么；以及下文提到"it appeared to be a sunflower"那长出了一株向日葵，故此处指的应是生长在院子里的一种植物；C．weed杂草，野草；  D．seed 种子；故选B．
44．C   联系上下文    根据本段中的最后一句"We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was．（我们决定让它继续生长，直到我们能看出它是什么为止）"可知，本句的意思应是：我在院子里发现了一株很小的植物，我不能立即识别出它是什么；故选C．
45．D   考查句意理解   根据上文提到作者不能立即识别出院子里的那株幼小的植物，即作者不知道它是什么植物，可知作者认为那是一株奇怪的植物；故选D．
46．C     联系上下文    根据上一句"it appeared to be a sunflower"可知，作者已经看出它是一株向日葵了，因此作者决定除去它周围的杂草；故选C．
47．B     联系上下文     根据下一句"The sunflower had not（48）where I saw it begin"可知，向日葵并没有生长在我一开始发现它的位置；因此作者认为这是件不寻常的事情，故选B．
48．A    考查句意理解   本句的意思是：向日葵并没有生长在我一开始发现它的位置，start表示开始生长；故选A．
49．D     联系上下文   根据第一段提到院子里有很多石头，以及作者在除杂草时需要搬走石头可知，它应该是生长在了石头的下面；故D．
50．B   考查句意理解   由于向日葵是始终向着太阳生长的，故选B．
51．C    联系上下文    由于下文提到的是：作者意识到的已发生的事情；故选C．
52．A    考查固定短语   stand in one's way意为：阻拦，挡道；故选A．
53．B    考查动词短语及上下文理解    A．worry about担心； B．believe in 相信，信任；C．fill in填写，填充；D．put in提出，放入；根据下文"We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the（55）to achieve our goals"可知，本句的意思是：如果我们像那棵向日葵一样相信我们自己；故选B．
54．A   联系上下文  结合最后一段提到的"in order to reach our goals"可知，此处指的是：达到某种目标，故选A．
55．C    考查固定短语及上下文理解    根据下文"it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks…"可知，此处指的应是：我们有能力实现我们的目标；have the ability to do sth．表示有能力做某事；故选C．
56．D      联系上下文    根据上文作者主要赞扬了那株顽强地生长在他们院子里的向日葵可知，此处指的应是那株向日葵；故选D．
57．A    考查句意理解   此处与上文提到的believe in 相呼应，意为：它知道它有能力摆脱那些石头，因为它相信自己会成功；故选A．
58．B  考查形容词辨析及句意理解  A．aware of意识到；B．proud of 骄傲；C．tired of厌倦于； D．afraid of害怕；像向日葵一样高高地站立，并为自己感到自豪；故选B．
59．C    联系上下文   承接上一句可知，本句的意思应是：周围的一切都将开始支持我们；故选C．
60．D    联系上下文   此处与"It actually had begun under a big （49）and grown under and around it to reach the（50）．"相呼应，表达的意思是：为了达到我们的目标，我们会找到一条路走下去或绕过任何"石头"；故选D．

点评 做本题时，首先要快速浏览全文，把握文章的主旨大意，缕清作者的写作思路；然后结合上下文，逐句分析，并正确理解每一句话的意思；最后结合选项中各单词或短语的意义及用法，找到符合文意的选项．

4．阅读下面短文，按要求完成阅读任务．
    It's difficult to find a piece of clothing as widely accepted，worn and loved the world over as jeans．The classic symbol of the American West is now a main item in wardrobe around the world．But why？
    The reason for jeans'success has as much as to do with their cultural meaning as their physical construction．
     Invented by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis in 1873，jeans were first designed as work wear for laborers on the farms and mines of America's Western states in the late l9th century．They proved extremely comfortable and durable（耐用的）and were soon in high demand．
    But the first explosion of jeans into world of casual-wear（便装）had more to do with what jeans had come to symbolize．
    When they did start to be worn as casual wear，jeans became a symbol of rebellion-the spirit captured by Marion Brando in his l953 film The Wild One and by James Dean two years later in Rebel Without a Cause，
    Jeans were soon banned in schools from coast to coast which only added to the passion with which teenagers embraced them．
     But jeans'popularity kept growing also because they put different classes on a level playing field．They were affordable and hard-wearing，looked good worn as well as new，and didn't have to be washed often or ironed at all．They conformed to the body in a way that matched even the most finely tailored clothes．This became especially important for women because then，and now，they paid more attention to fit．This versatility（多用途），the ability to become all things to all people，is the secret to jeans'survival as a wardrobe item．
56．By whom were jeans worn at first？（No more than l5 words）Jeans were worn by laborers on the farms and minesin theAmerica West．
57．What made teenagers across the US like wearing jeans even more？（No more than 10 words）Jeans'being banned或The ban on jeans．
58．What will be the best title for this passage？（No more than 10 words）The Reason for Jeans'Success．/Why Is Jeans'Popularity．
59．What does the underlined word"embraced"mean？（No more than 3 words）accepted
60．Do you like wearing jean？Why of why not？Please give at least two reasons．（No more than 25 words）Yes，because they put different classes on a level playing field and they have the ability to become all things to all people．．
