长难句解析
阅读理解 A
[原句] People often say flowers are like the people they are named after. We hope that whenever people see this rose, they will think of Jiaolong. (第五段中)
[翻译] 人们常说,以人的名字命名的花就像这些人一样。我们希望,每当人们看到这朵月季,就会想起(贺)娇龙。
[分析] 第一句主干是 People often say, flowers are like the people they are named after 是宾语从句,其中 they are named after 是定语从句,修饰先行词 the people;第二句主干是 We hope, that 引导宾语从句,其中 whenever people see this rose 是时间状语从句, they will think of Jiaolong 是宾语从句的主句。
阅读理解 B
[原句] Little did they know that they were being watched as guardedly as they watched for danger. (第五段第二句)
[翻译] 他们一点也不知道,他们自己在被密切监视,就像他们警惕地防备危险一样。
[分析] 这个句子是主从复合句。主句用倒装语序“Little +助动词+主语+动词原形”, that 引导宾语从句;宾语从句中“as ... as”引导比较状语从句。

语法填空
一个小男孩看见他的爷爷每天早起阅读《论语》，便询问他的爷爷看《论语》有什么用处。爷爷告诉他：阅读《论语》时，你可能没有理解或记住每个内容，但你从内到外都改变了。
1. reading 考查非谓语动词。本句缺少主语，要用动名词结构充当主语。
2. to 考查介词。“take ... to ...”意为“把……带/拿到……(地方)”。
3. was told 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据句意可知，爷爷叫男孩拿着篮子去河边打水回来。对于男孩来说，他是tell这个动作的承受者，所以要用被动语态；本文说的是过去发生的故事，因此此处用一般过去时，且因句子主语为单数，be动词用was。
4. faster 考查比较级。句意：爷爷笑着说：“你下一次要移动得快一点。”从next time及空前的a little可推断出本句含有比较的意思。
5. impossible 考查形容词。首先分析句子结构可知此处考查的是“It is +形容词+ to do sth.”结构，故空格处考虑形容词possible；再由上一段中的“... but all the water leaked out before he got back.”及本段中的“... but again before he returned home, the basket was empty.”可推知，男孩认为用篮子是不可能打到水的。
6. but 考查连词。理解句意可知，前后分句是转折关系。
7. useless 考查形容词。从上一段中的“... the basket was again empty.”可知，男孩认为用篮子打水是没有用的。
8. realized 考查时态。文章的整体时态是一般过去时，因此此处用过去式。
9. The 考查冠词。男孩意识到篮子和以前不一样了。脏脏的旧篮子现在内外都变干净了。这里篮子是特指。
10. what 考查表语从句。句中what happens when you read The Analects of Confucius作系动词is的表语从句。what在从句中充当主语，指代“所发生的事情”，相当于the thing that。
