A
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the branches of an old willow tree, with good reason to frown, for the world was dragging me down. At this time, a boy approached me. He stood right before me, and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!”
In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals (花瓣) all worn. Wanting him to take his flower and go off to play, I managed a smile and then turned to the other side.
But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared, “It really smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it. Here it’s for you.”
The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.”
But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air. It was then that I noticed that the boy was blind.
I heard my voice quiver (轻微颤抖), and at the same time my tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one, he smiled and said, “You’re welcome.” And then he ran off to play, unaware of the impact he’d had on me.
I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. Perhaps from his heart, he’d been blessed with true sight.
Through the eyes of the blind boy, I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I had been blind. From now on, I promised to see beauty and appreciate every second. Then I held the flower up to my nose and breathed its fragrance and smiled as that young boy.

这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲了一个人在生活中可能有着这样或那样的不如意，因此会抑郁、沉闷，就像该篇文章的作者。但是当他在公园邂逅了一个素昧平生的盲人小男孩时，却从他那儿学会了如何坚强、乐观地看待生活、笑对人生。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第一段The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the branches of an old willow tree, with good reason to frown, for the world was dragging me down.（当我坐在一棵老柳树下看书时，公园的长椅上空无一人，我皱着眉头是有充分理由的，因为这个世界正把我往下拽。）由此可知当作者坐在椅子上看书时，作者对她的生活感觉心烦和不开心，故选C。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在第四段But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave.（但我知道我必须接受，否则他可能永远不会离开。）由此推断出，起初，作者决定接受这朵花是因为她不想再被这个小男孩所烦扰，故选D。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。文中的小男孩虽然是一个盲人，但是他却看得见花儿美，闻得到花儿香，脸上有着灿烂的微笑，并且他把他认为最美丽的花送给了作者。由此推断出文中的小男孩是一个善良又乐观的人，故选B。
【点睛】抓住特定信息进行逆向或正向推理做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息，即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断，利用逆向思维或正面推理，从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义。小题2题干询问作者最初接受这朵花的原因，第四段But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave.（但我知道我必须接受，否则他可能永远不会离开。）其中，or he might never leave.是关键词。由此推断出，起初，作者决定接受这朵花是因为她不想再被这个小男孩所烦扰，故选D。所以同学们一定要抓住关键词进行合理推断。
