The next day Marilla went to see the doctor. When she came back, she looked very tired and ill.
“What did the doctor say?” asked Anne worriedly.
“He says I mustn’t read or write, and I must wear glasses. Then my head won’t hurt. But if I’m not very careful, I’ll be blind(失明的) in six months!”
For a minute Anne didn’t say anything. Then she said firmly, “Then you must be careful, Marilla.”
“Think how bad it is to be blind! But how lucky you’ve got a free place at Redmond College! I can’t give you any money, you see. All our money’s gone, and I can’t work now. I think I’ll have to sell the farm, and go and live with Rachel Lynde!” poor Marilla cried sadly.
That night Anne sat alone in her bedroom. She thought and thought for some time, and then she smiled. When she went to bed, she knew what she was going to do.
The next day she told Marilla everything.
“You can’t sell Green Gables. It’s our home! Just listen, I’ve planned everything. I’m not going to Redmond College. It’s too far away. I’m going to teach in one of the village schools near here. Then I can live there during the week and come home at weekends to look after you. Diana’s father will use our fields and pay us for them, and so we’ll have some money. You see?”
“Oh, Anne! I’ll be all right if you’re here. But you must go to Redmond if you want to study…”
“Redmond College doesn’t matter,” laughed Anne. “I’m going to study at home in the evenings. And I’m going to be a really good teacher! That’s better than anything!”
Marilla was moved and tried not to cry. “You’re a good girl, Anne. Now we can keep Green Gables!”

57. C 【解析】词义猜测题。Anne 得知 Marilla 可能失明后，说“Then you must be careful, Marilla.”，结合她后续为保护家园、照顾 Marilla 放弃上大学的坚定决心，“firmly”应体现“坚定地；强烈地”语气，与“strongly”意思相近，故选 C。
58. D 【解析】推理判断题。根据“But if I’m not very careful, I’ll be blind in six months!”可知，Marilla 得知如果自己不小心，六个月内会失明，此时是“害怕的”；根据“I think I’ll have to sell the farm, and go and live with Rachel Lynde!”可知，Marilla 因为无法继续工作，打算卖掉农场，此时是“无助的”；根据“Oh, Anne! I’ll be all right if you’re here. But you must go to Redmond if you want to study...”可知，Marilla 对 Anne 的计划难以抉择，此时 Marilla 是“犹豫的”；根据“Marilla was moved and tried not to cry. ‘You’re a good girl, Anne. Now we can keep Green Gables!’”可知，Marilla 对 Anne 的计划感到感动和感激，此时是“感激的”。因此，Marilla 的情感变化顺序是：害怕→无助→犹豫→感激。故选 D。
59. C 【解析】句子排序题。根据“He says I mustn’t read or write, and I must wear glasses. Then my head won’t hurt.”可知，Marilla 的头因为健康问题而疼，即“Marilla’s head hurt.”；根据“But if I’m not very careful, I’ll be blind in six months!”可知，Marilla 得知如果自己不小心，六个月内会失明，即“Marilla learnt she might go blind without correct care.”；根据“I think I’ll have to sell the farm, and go and live with Rachel Lynde!”可知，Marilla 因为无法继续工作，打算卖掉农场，即“Marilla said she planned to sell the farm.”；根据“I’m going to teach in one of the village schools near here.”可知，Anne 告诉 Marilla 她计划在附近的村庄学校教书，即“Anne told Marilla her plan to teach nearby.”。因此，正确的顺序是：c-d-a-b。故选 C。
60. D 【解析】主旨大意题。根据“You’re a good girl, Anne. Now we can keep Green Gables!”以及全文内容可知，Anne 得知 Marilla 因健康问题可能卖农场后，决定放弃上大学，留在附近教书照顾 Marilla，保住 Green Gables。因此 D 选项“Anne 决定留下照顾 Marilla 并保住 Green Gables”与文本核心一致，故选 D。
