本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。玫瑰和柏树和平相处，它们都把精力放在了自己的生长上，而没有互相攀比。
26．D 从后文大师通过玫瑰和柏树相邻共生给国王释疑，可以推测这里是指国王想比邻国的(neighboring)国王更强大。
27．C
28．B 国王坐下后，开始(started)讲述此行(visit)的目的。
29．A 这里并没有表现出大师情绪上的大喜大悲，他只是耐心地(patiently)听完国王的讲述。

34．C 下文understand有提示：但是他无法理解(understand)要从中学到什么。
35．D 从上下文可知，国王这里是不知道大师是什么意思(mean)。
36．B 上文国王在问话，所以大师在这里作了解释(explained)。
37．A 从本空前后两句可知，玫瑰和柏树都没想过要变成对方，所以它们的想法是相似的。
38．B 上文提到玫瑰和柏树和平共处，这里提出假设：如果人是柏树的话，就会与玫瑰做比较(compared)。
39．C 由本空前jealous和本空后beautiful推断：漂亮的玫瑰花得到了众人的关注(attention)。
40．D 从本空前后两句的句式及句意可判断，这两句是并列关系。故答案选D项。
41．A 如果人要是玫瑰花的话，他就会羡慕地看着(looked at)柏树。

43．D 人们过多的关注对于玫瑰来说就是一种烦扰(trouble)。
44.B
