【解析】短文屬于記敘文。通過描述Elizabeth與妹妹相處的幾件事，表現了她對妹妹的慈愛。

1.細節理解題。從短文第一句“Elizabeth was very serious and tidy”可得知。

2.詞義猜測題。根據上下文可知，這是姐妹倆小時候的事情，又因為“had lessons at home with…”可知，只有B項最合語境。

3.推理判斷題。根據第一段倒數第二句“Magaret has sad love stories and unhappy marriage.”和第二段最后一句“…never found lasting personal happiness”可推測出Magaret婚姻家庭不幸福。

4.綜合理解題。A、B、D項都符合文意，只有C項不符。

5.主旨大意題。Elizabeth小時候呵護Magaret，長大了同情她、幫助她；即使妹妹朝她叫喊，甚至朝她臉上扔抹布，身為女王的她都能忍受。這足以說明Elizabeth如此善良。
