Mr Crewe smiled, but he was not happy. He loved his little Sara very much, and he did not want to be without her. Sara's mother was dead, and Sara was his only child. Father and daughter were very good friends.
Soon they arrived at Miss Minchin's School for Girls and went into the big house. Miss Minchin was a tall woman in a black dress. She looked at Sara, and then gave a very big smile. "What a beautiful child!" she said to Mr Crewe.
Sara stood quietly and watched Miss Minchin. "▲" she thought. "I am not beautiful, so why does she say it?" Sara was not beautiful, but her father was rich. And Miss Minchin liked girls with rich fathers, because it was good for the school (and good for Miss Minchin too).
"Sara is a good girl," Mr Crewe said to Miss Minchin. "Her mother is French, so she speaks French well. She loves books, and she reads all the time. But she must play with the other girls and make new friends too." "Of course," said Miss Minchin. She smiled again. "Sara is going to be very happy here, Mr Crewe."
Mr Crewe stayed in London for a week. He and Sara went to the shops, and he bought many beautiful, expensive dresses for his daughter. He bought books and flowers for her room, and a big doll with beautiful dresses too.
Miss Minchin smiled, but she said to her sister Amelia, "All that money on dresses is for a child of seven! She looks like a little princess, not a schoolgirl!"

【分析】
解答本题需先通读文章了解大意，再针对每个小题，通过定位原文相关语句，结合上下文逻辑分析选项，逐一排除错误答案，选出正确选项。具体思路：22题定位Mr Crewe不开心的原因；23题结合Sara的想法逻辑补全句子；24题找Miss Minchin对Sara态度的原因；25题逐一核对选项与原文信息。
【解析】
22题：根据文章第一段“Mr Crewe smiled, but he was not happy. He loved his little Sara very much, and he did not want to be without her.”及后文送Sara去学校的情节，可知Mr Crewe不开心是因为女儿要离开自己去上学，对应选项A。
23题：根据第三段Sara的想法，空格后是“I am not beautiful, so why does she say it?”，体现Sara对Miss Minchin的夸赞感到疑惑，因此空格处应表达疑惑内容，选项C“为什么她这么说？”符合语境。
24题：根据第三段“And Miss Minchin liked girls with rich fathers, because it was good for the school (and good for Miss Minchin too).”可知，Miss Minchin对Sara好是因为Sara的父亲富有，对应选项C。
25题：逐一核对选项：A选项，由第一段“Sara's mother was dead, and Sara was his only child.”可知Sara母亲在她小时候去世，正确；B选项，文章未提及Sara不喜欢昂贵裙子，错误；C选项，Sara母亲是法国人，故Sara法语好，错误；D选项，文章未提及Sara喜欢购物，错误。因此选A。
