Question

Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12,a white gardenia（梔子花）was sent to my house. No card came with it．Calls to the flower shops were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's name and was just very pleased with the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.
But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be, Some of my happiest moments were  spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged this imagining. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man who I looked afier when he was ill. As a girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy.
One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt very sad and didn't want to go to the  coming graduation dance at all. And I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery.
My mother died ten days after l was married.1 was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.

解析試題分析：這篇短文中作者主要介紹了媽媽通過(guò)匿名給女兒在每年過(guò)生日時(shí)都送來(lái)鮮花一事，讓女兒感覺(jué)到被人關(guān)愛(ài)的幸福，即使爸爸離開(kāi)了她們，媽媽仍然希望孩子們幸福，結(jié)局揭示了本文的中心。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段Calls to the flower shops were not helpful at all.可知A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第二段最后一句話可知，送花的人可能是一個(gè)男孩，是女孩的一種主觀想象；所以B也可排除；第二段Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender.可知女孩對(duì)送花人的猜測(cè)時(shí)光是美好的；故C正確；開(kāi)頭第一句Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12,a white gardenia（梔子花）was sent to my house. 可知D項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤；故選C。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery.可知媽媽是希望看到自己的孩子堅(jiān)強(qiáng)和幸福的；故選D。
【小題3】主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文最后一段的內(nèi)容可知，媽媽去世以后，再也沒(méi)有鮮花送來(lái)，可知，是媽媽在一直給孩子一種美好的期待和向往，所以B項(xiàng)媽媽的愛(ài)最能體現(xiàn)本文的中心意思；故選B。
考點(diǎn)：情感類(lèi)短文閱讀。
