The house was about four kilometres(公里) from the station. Every time the children saw a house they asked, "Oh, is this our house?" But it never was. Then they came to the top of a hill, and there was a white house with a green garden and lots of fruit trees. "Here we are!" Mother said.
Everyone hurried(匆忙) to get out of the carriage(四轮马车)—Robert, Anthea, Jane, Cyril, and Martha, the nursemaid(保姆), with the baby. But Mother stood and watched the driver while he carried the boxes into the house.
The children knew that they were going to be happy there. Mother did not like the house very much. But it was deep in the country(乡村) and after two years in London the children thought that it was wonderful. If you live in London and your family is not rich, you get bored(感到厌倦) because you cannot go to shops and theatres. In the country, you can go anywhere and do anything.
Behind the house was a wood and on one side was a gravel pit(砾石坑). A week later, the children found a fairy(精灵) at the gravel pit. But it was different from others.
It happened when Mother had to go and stay with Grandmother, who was ill. Martha stayed with the children.
The children did not know what to do. Then Cyril said, "Let's go to the gravel pit."
The gravel pit was very large, with grass and wild flowers round the sides at the top. When they got there, the children decided that they would go down into the pit to play in the sand.
"Let's dig a deep hole," said Robert.
The others agreed and they all began to dig hard in the sand. But it was a very hot day. Baby went to sleep and Robert, Cyril, and Jane sat down to rest, but Anthea went on working on the hole.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一家人搬到新家后发生的事情。
23. C 细节理解题。根据“Everyone hurried to get out of the carriage—Robert, Anthea, Jane, Cyril, and Martha, the nursemaid, with the baby. But Mother stood and watched the driver while he carried the boxes into the house.”可知，Robert、Anthea、Jane、Cyril、名叫Martha的保姆、婴儿和妈妈共七人搬到这个乡村（司机没有住在乡下，只负责搬行李，下文也没有提到司机）。故选C。
24. C 细节理解题。根据“If you live in London and your family is not rich”可知，在城市中，他们一家人不富有。故选C。
25. D 补全文章题。根据“It happened when Mother had to go and stay with Grandmother, who was ill.”和“The children did not know what to do.”可知，刚搬来不久，妈妈又不在，家里很安静，空荡荡的。故选D。
26. D 事件排序题。搬到新家后文章是按照事情发展的顺序描写的。根据第三段的“But it was deep in the country and after two years in London”可知，两年前住在伦敦是最先发生的。又根据第一段的“Every time the children saw a house they asked, ‘Oh, is this our house?’”、第二段的“Mother stood and watched the driver while he carried the boxes into the house.”和第四段的“the children found a fairy at the gravel pit”以及最后一段的“The others agreed and they all began to dig hard in the sand.”可知，正确的顺序应该是d-a-e-c-b。故选D。
