Answer 1

 [文章大意]樹葉在面對燦爛后的隕落時，沒有因為樹的話而悲觀地面對自己的命運，相反它積極而樂觀地直面自己凋零的生命。

1. D由下文的"…shook her awake every day ..."可知,其中awake與sleep形成對照關系。

2. C此處意為"讓她感到興奮"。

make sb do sth意為"讓某人做某事"；cause意為"引導，導致"，cause sb to do sth 意為"引起某人做某事"；leave意為"剩下，離開，聽任，使處于某種狀態"；stay意為"逗留，保持"。

3. C上下句為因果關系。句意：我將永遠不會離開你，因為你讓我快樂。

4. B由上文的"Leaf whispered to the gentle Wind."可知，是Leaf對Wind低語，所以Tree應該是聽到這些話。words (某人所說的) 話。

5. A由下文的”You'll be blown away by Wind and become nothing but dust."可知，此處指的是Leaf被Wind吹走。blow away吹走;put away放好，收好;throw away扔掉; give away贈送，泄露。

6. B由下文的"'That's a lie！，she cried."可知，Leaf聽到這些話不高興了。

7. C句意：她聽到過樹葉是如何變老并死去的故事。故用how來引導介詞賓語從句，表示方式。

8. D 由上文的"That's a He!"可知，此處指的是Leaf不相信那些故事。

9. A由上文的"Time passed,and Leaf grew bigger and stronger…"可知，Leaf變黃變老的時期來了。其中grow 意為"變成"。 

10. A由上文的"...but then came the period of ... yellow and old."可知。

time意為"時間，時刻"；age意為"年齡，時代"。 

11. B由下文的"I choose to be happy with my fate".可知，此處表示"你的話不能傷害我"。其中hurt指的是傷害感情；destroy"損壞"，常指受損非常嚴重，無法修復； beat打，擊敗;affect影響。 

12. C由上下文可以看出，此處為轉折關系。故選but。 

13. D由上文的"…when Leaf actually was carried away by Wind"可知，Leaf被風帶走，應是在空中笑。in the air在空中;on the air廣播中，播送中。 

14. D Leaf被風帶走，故這里應指"我正和Wind—起飛"。 

15. B Leaf變黃變老后，才會被Wind吹走。故選old。 

16. A根據"the soft song of Wind"可知，"輕柔的風之歌" 應該是被聽到的。故選A項。

Hsten也有"聽"的意思，但這里需要的是及物動詞。 

17. D由上文的heard可知，Tree正在告訴小樹葉有關它們的命運。 

18. A由下文的"It doesn't have to be your fate.”可知答案。 

19. B從上文可知丄eaf被風吹走后，并沒有感到悲傷，相反它感到很快樂，并與風一起飛行。故可知此處指的是"如果你選擇快樂，你將高飛到天空"。 

20. C由上文的”You'U be blown away by Wind and be?come nothing but dust.”可知"如果你屈從于你的命運，你將永遠成為塵土 (dust) "。doll玩偶，玩具娃娃；Hesh 肉_;brick磚。
