Question

Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel daily to work.
There are some particular blue flowers that have always caught my eye. I’ve noticed that they bloom only in the morning hours and the afternoon sun is too warm for them. Every day for about two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.
This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty…” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel（鏟子）one year in my car to be used for that expressed purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I was shocked to see that the highway department had destroyed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister has a terminal brain tumor（腫瘤）. She is 20 years older than me and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. 
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I’ll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.

解析試題分析：這篇短文中作者以自己種花的經(jīng)歷告訴我們，在生活中不要錯(cuò)失任何一次機(jī)會(huì)，任何事情都不要等到下次再做。
【小題1】通過(guò)I’ve noticed that they bloom only in the morning hours and the afternoon sun is too warm for them.這句話可知,他們不耐高溫,故選A.
【小題2】四個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別表示作者的姐姐死于肺腫瘤、當(dāng)聽到姐姐的死訊時(shí)，她很后悔、作者計(jì)劃把這些話挖給他的丈夫和作者的丈夫計(jì)劃在花園里種些花，通過(guò)閱讀短文可以選項(xiàng)C最符合文意。
【小題3】通過(guò)文章最后一句話，如果我再看見這些花，我發(fā)誓我會(huì)停下來(lái)，并把它們移植到我的花園里，可知選項(xiàng)B最符合題意，珍惜現(xiàn)在不要失去機(jī)會(huì)。
考點(diǎn)：故事類記述文閱讀
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文中長(zhǎng)句較多，一時(shí)很難讀懂句子含義，注意多讀幾遍，不要強(qiáng)求非得理解一詞一句的含義，能把握文章大意就行。然后帶著問(wèn)題閱讀短文，一般就能順利找出答題依據(jù)。對(duì)于不能直接找到根據(jù)的問(wèn)題注意聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)短文中心總結(jié)出正確答案。
