Question

【题目】 There used to be many beautiful flowers in our garden. Among them was a beautiful blue flower. My husband once told me that it only bloomed(开花) in spring and the sun in summer was too hot for it. When summer came, he would move it out of the garden and put it inside our house.

Once, my husband was away for some time on business, so I had to take care of the flowers. Before leaving, he told me to pay special attention to the blue flower. I planned to look after it as my husband had ever done, but I was too busy to remember it. One weekend when I wanted to move the blue flower into the house, I found that it had already died. I was very sad and regretted not taking good care of it earlier.

A week ago, my husband's elder sister, Linda, died of a serious stomach illness. Linda was much older than my husband. Maybe because of the age gap(差距), we were not very close. After she died, we were very sad and regretted not visiting her often.

Linda's death reminds me of the blue flower. We should have done something better, but we haven't tried our best. I believe that God has given us enough time to plant some wonderful things that will bloom inside us, but we have missed it.

文章大意：本文主要讲述了作者因为没有照顾好花而导致它死亡了，她非常后悔没有照顾好它。一周前她丈夫的姐姐也因为胃癌去世了，她后悔没有经常去看她，作者认为本可以做好的时候，她却没有尽力。

【1】推断题。根据文章第一段中的“My husband once told me that it only bloomed(开花) in spring and the sun in summer was too hot for it. When summer came, he would move it out of the garden and put it inside our house”“我丈夫曾告诉我，春天才开花，夏天的太阳太热了。夏天来了，他会把它从花园里搬出来，放在我们家里”和第二段中的“One weekend when I wanted to move the blue flower into the house, I found that it had already died.”“有一个周末，当我想把这朵蓝色的花搬进房子时，我发现它已经死了。”可推测她丈夫是在夏天出差，故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“I planned to look after it as my husband had ever done, but I was too busy to remember it”可知作者太忙了而没有时间照顾花，故选B。

【3】主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“I believe that God has given us enough time to plant some wonderful things that will bloom inside us, but we have missed it”“我相信上帝给了我们足够的时间来种植一些奇妙的东西，让它们在我们体内绽放，但我们错过了”可知作者告诉我们要爱现在拥有的东西，故选C。
