2024-25学年第39期总第984期高一III版参考答案
I.
Who: Susan, Susan’s mother and Mrs Garcia
Where: in the village
What: Susan wants to grow roses and win a prize like Mrs Garcia.
II. 1. 1) love; 2) practical; 3) waste; 4) keep tending; 5) flower shops; 6) laughs at / looks down on; 7) picks up
2. 1) In plot development: It creates conflict. The contrast in attitude between Susan and her mother about growing flowers and vegetables sets up an internal conflict within Susan. She wants to grow roses but has to consider her mother’s practical concerns. The unfriendly and mocking (嘲笑的) attitude of Mrs Garcia toward Susan also creates an obstacle for Susan’s dream of growing roses, driving the plot forward as Susan tries to overcome these obstacles. When Susan picks up the discarded (被丢弃的) rose, it is a direct result of the contrast in personalities and situations, leading to a new development in the story.
2) In theme presentation: It helps to highlight the theme of following one’s dreams despite challenges. Susan’s eagerness to grow roses in contrast to her mother’s practical view and Mrs Garcia’s mockery shows that she has a dream that is not supported by the people around her. But she still pursues it, which emphasizes the importance of not giving up on one’s dreams. The contrast between the poor village’s view of flowers as a waste and the city’s market for them also touches on the theme of the potential for change and the pursuit of something different from the norm in a limited environment.
III. (One possible version)
Para 1:
1. She would treat the rose with the same care she gave the vegetables. She would check the soil moisture every day and protect it from strong sunlight.
2. She wouldn’t tell her mother the truth in case her mother would again oppose growing a rose. Instead, she would just say it was a kind of vegetable.
3. Yes. According to the first sentence of the second paragraph, the rose would grow from a dried-up one to a lively and beautiful flower.
Para 2:
1. Mrs Garcia would think it was unbelievable that the girl who used to plant vegetables could grow such an extraordinary rose. The judges and other contestants would be surprised by its beauty and its unexpected little owner.
2. Yes, her rose would win first prize.
3. Having experienced sadness, envy and upset, she would feel happy, excited and proud.
IV. (One possible version)
Susan planted the rose in a quiet spot behind the cottage. She treated it with the same tender care she gave the vegetables, checking the soil moisture every day and protecting it from harsh (强烈的) sunlight. When her mother asked about the new plant, Susan, instead of telling the truth, just smiled and said it was a special vegetable. As days passed, the dried-up rose gradually showed signs of life. A tiny bud (花苞) appeared, and Susan’s heart was filled with joy. She talked to the rose, sharing her hopes and dreams, as if it were a dear friend. Bit by bit, the petals (花瓣) unfolded to reveal a stunning bloom.
On the Rose Festival morning, Susan took her beautiful rose and set out. With a mix of excitement and fear, she placed her rose among others. The judges and other contestants were surprised by its delicate (精致的) beauty and its unexpected little owner. Mrs Garcia’s eyes widened in disbelief, wondering how Susan grew such an extraordinary rose. As the voting progressed, Susan’s rose was praised for its vibrant (鲜艳的) color and perfect form. In the end, Susan’s rose won first prize. Returning home, she proudly showed the award to her mother, proving that with love and determination, even a discarded rose could bring honor and change their lives. And that’s the secret of flowers.
Reflections on the sample:
1. How does the continued story show the contrast?
In the first paragraph, the contrast lies in Susan describing the rose as a special vegetable rather than her telling the truth to her mother as before. Then with Susan’s care, the rose finally blossomed and appeared to be beautiful and lively, which contrasts sharply with the dried-up one days before.
In the second paragraph, the contrast is shown by Susan’s winning of the first prize, rather than Mrs Garcia. Besides, Susan no longer had to hide the truth. She proudly showed her award to her mother. Furthermore, the contrast also exists in “the secret of flowers”. In Mrs Garcia’s view, the secret might be high-quality plants, good planting skills and sufficient nourishment (充足的营养). However, Susan’s experience proved that love and determination were the true secret of flowers, which also reflects the theme of the story.
2. How is the theme highlighted?
The theme is conveyed mainly through Susan’s understanding of the secret of flowers. As growing flowers was what Susan had desired to do all the time, the continued story presents how carefully and patiently she tendered the rose to show her love for it. And the rose changing from a dried-up plant to a tall beautiful one indicates that her great effort finally paid off and she achieved her dream. The contrast made her realize that the secret to flowers was love and determination, rather than simply planting skills and nourishment. This secret serves as the theme of the story, or in other words, the theme is highlighted by Susan’s exploration of the secret through the experience of growing flowers herself.
