Question

【题目】 Looking through a magazine in a waiting room recently, I came across an article with the title "My top five most precious possessions(财产)". It was just a few lines of text with pictures, but it caught my imagination.

It's interesting how inanimate (无生命的) objects can take on such significance and become woven (编织) into a person's, and sometimes a whole family's, life history.

Anyway, the article had me considering what my most precious possessions are. It was difficult to choose only five, but here are mine:

An old cardboard box filled with my children's baby photos.

A yellow pocket-sized birthday book of special things (poems, pictures of flowers and trees, etc) given to me by my dad when I was probably about seven or eight years old.

A 21st birthday card from my mum. In it she's written her congratulations, her love, and her hopes for my future. She died not long after, when I was in my early twenties.

A few ancient but very beautiful botany books that were once my great grandmother's. She was a botanist in a time when it was relatively unusual for women to be qualified in this field and I think she was probably a remarkable and very interesting woman. I'd like to have known her.

A brooch (胸针) left to me by my much-loved grandmother. It is not worth anything in terms of money. However, it not only stands for a link between four generations of women, but it is also a reminder of one young man's return from World War I.

How about you? I'd love to hear what you feel are your most precious possessions.

It was just a few lines of text with pictures, but it caught my imagination.”最近在候诊室翻阅一本杂志时，我看到一篇题为“我最珍贵的五件物品”的文章。这只是几行文字和图片，但它吸引了我的想象力。可知，在杂志上的一篇文章让作者有写这篇文章的想法。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据“An old cardboard box filled with my children's baby photos.”一个旧纸箱，里面装着我孩子们的婴儿照片。表明作者已是几个孩子的母亲。故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据“She was a botanist in a time when it was relatively unusual for women to be qualified in this field and I think she was probably a remarkable and very interesting woman.”她是一个植物学家，在那个时代，女性在这个领域获得资格是相对不寻常的，我认为她可能是一个了不起的、非常有趣的女性。可知，她有可能成为一个植物学家。故选D。
