题文

I bought a jasmine（茉莉花）plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom（开花）and the sweet smell would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda. One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something. Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away. In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen. Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait. I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient. I am slowly learning to have that patience to wait for my jasmine to bloom. 小题1: Before she gave the jasmine away, the writer had it for.

试题分析：这篇短文大意为：作者买了盆茉莉花放在办公室，希望它能开出美丽的花，散发出迷人的香气，但是两个月过去了，茉莉花并没有开花，作者失去了耐心，把它送给了好朋友。但有一天作者去朋友Mary的办公室的时候，发现跟他同时买的茉莉花开花了，作者由此明白了一个道理，生活中无论做什么事，都要有耐心。 小题1:细节理解题。根据文中第一段I had the plant for two months and every day I looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.我保存茉莉花两个月，每天都会看它，但是没有开花，也没有香味，我很不开心，所以把它送给了我的朋友Linda。由此可知答案为D。 小题2:细节理解题。根据文章第二段When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me，当我走进Mary的办公室，她的茉莉花让我很吃惊。故选D。 小题3:主旨大意题。作者通过他养茉莉花这样一件事想告诉我们，生活中无论做什么事都要有耐心，文中最后一段I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient可知答案为A。
