Question

I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard (果園)，looking up at the branches above me.It is one of the last days of summer.Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler.Some kinds of apples are already ripe (成熟的)．Others will be ready to pick soon.I think of my grandmother’s apple pie，and how I used to make it with her.She died last year，before the apple harvest，and I have not had her pie since.I really miss her.I hear bees busily humming about，visiting the late summer flowers.The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.

The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes.Above me，big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind.School starts in another week，and time seems to have slowed down.

“Sophie！” calls my grandfather.“Is that you？” I stand up，take his hand，and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard.We talk about apples，and bees，and Grandma.He tells me that he misses her too.

He puts his rough，brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close.“You know，Sophie，” he says，“I spent the morning in the attic (閣樓)，and you’ll never guess what I found.It’s the recipe (烹飪法) for Grandma’s apple pie.I used to help her make it sometimes.I can’t do it all alone，but you used to help her too.Maybe between the two of us，we can work it out.Want to try？”

“But it won’t be the same without Grandma，” I tell him.

“That’s true，” he says，“but nothing_is_the_same_without_Grandma.Still，I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie.What do you say？” I nod yes，and we walk towards home...towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen，making Grandma’s famous apple pie.

Answer 1

[語篇解讀]　Sophie在果園里看到枝頭的蘋果，想起了她的奶奶，想起了奶奶做的蘋果派。她的爺爺找到了她奶奶制作蘋果派的方法，他們祖孫倆一起學(xué)做蘋果派。蘋果派寄托了Sophie和爺爺對(duì)奶奶的深切懷念。

解析：　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的I think of my grandmother’s apple pie及and I have not had her pie since和文末的making Grandma’s famous apple pie可知，Sophie很喜歡奶奶做的蘋果派。

答案：　C

解析：　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第四段第二、三句話表明，Sophie的爺爺找到了奶奶做蘋果派的烹飪方法，故答案為A。

答案：　A

解析：　細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)第四段爺爺說的話I used to help her make it sometimes及I can’t do it all alone，but you used to help her too可知，過去Sophie和她的爺爺都常幫助奶奶做蘋果派�！�
