Passage 2(2020深圳,B)
“Miss Smith! What rough(粗糙的) hands Mary Jessup has!” said Daisy Marvin, as she walked home from school with her teacher.
“In my opinion, Daisy, Mary’s hands are the prettiest in our class.”
“Why? Miss Smith, they are as red and hard as they can be. How they would look if she tried to play on a piano!” Daisy said.
Miss Smith took Daisy’s hands in hers, and said, “Your hands are very soft and white, just the hands to look beautiful on a piano; yet they don’t have one beauty that Mary’s hands do. Shall I tell you what the difference is?”
“Yes, please, Miss Smith.” Daisy looked at Miss Smith, with eyes wide open.
“Well, Daisy, Mary’s hands are very busy. They wash dishes; they make fires; they hang out clothes, and help to wash them, too; they are always trying to help her poor, hard - working mother.”
Miss Smith continued, “Besides, they wash and dress the children; they mend their toys and dress their dolls; yet, they find time to bathe the head of the little girl who is so sick in the next house to theirs.”
“They do good deeds(行为) to every living thing. I have seen them patting the tired horse and the homeless dog in the street. They are always ready to help those who need help.”
“I shall never think Mary’s hands are ugly any more, Miss Smith,” Daisy said with tears in her eyes.
“I am glad to hear you say that, Daisy; and I must tell you that they are beautiful because they help others gladly and cheerfully.”
“Oh, Miss Smith! I feel so ashamed of myself and so sorry,” said Daisy, looking into her teacher’s face with shining eyes.

答案： 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。戴西认为玛丽粗糙的双手非常丑陋，老师告诉戴西玛丽的手是最美的，因为她乐于助人，有美好的品行。文章告诉我们美丽不在外表，而在于行为。
1.B　细节理解题。文章中多次出现戴西对玛丽手的评价，如文章第二句中的rough和第三段第二句中的red and hard。另外，根据原文倒数第四段中的“I shall never think Mary’s hands are ugly any more, Miss Smith”可知，戴西一开始觉得玛丽的手很丑。故选B。
2.C　细节理解题。根据原文倒数第三段中老师对戴西说的话“I must tell you that they are beautiful because they help others gladly and cheerfully”可知，Miss Smith认为乐于助人是一种美。故选C。
3.D　推理判断题。根据第六段最后一句“they are always trying to help her poor, hard - working mother”可知，玛丽的妈妈很勤劳，由此可排除选项A；根据文中对玛丽辛勤做家务的描述可知，玛丽的生活并不容易，由此可排除选项B；根据文章倒数第三段第一句“I am glad to hear you say that, Daisy”可知，Miss Smith并不讨厌戴西，故可排除选项C；戴西一开始认为玛丽的手很丑，但听了老师说的话后，看法转变了。由此可推断出戴西对美有了更好的理解。故选D。
4.D　主旨大意题。整篇文章都是围绕玛丽的手展开的，讨论的重点是什么样的手才最美丽，所以“美丽的双手”最适合作为文章的标题。故选D。
