本文主要讲述 Mrs White 独居在一所豪华的宅子里，但过得不愉快。儿女看在心里，于是就请了一位有经验的医生帮助。聪明的医生提出看看房屋，并建议 Mrs White 把家里养的紫罗兰送给邻居或患者……慢慢地她果然在送鲜花中找到了乐趣，并有了 the violet lady 的美誉。
1. A。从后面的 where her children and grandchildren came to visit her frequently 来看，她是一个人一人住。
2. D。前面说她住的房屋非常宽敞、非常舒适，后面说 she was unhappy，因此可知此处用 However 表示转折。
3. B。从语境来看，她老公已过世，她目前独居，故她常常考虑年老问题及自己已过世的老公。
4. C。从后面的 She knew old people became set in their ways and didn’t like to be told what to do 及下文她成功地让 Mrs White 开心起来等来看，Mrs Green 是个非常有经验的医生。
5. C。前面说 Mrs Green 非常有经验，这是有经验的具体体现。她决定在说点什么前先认识一下 Mrs White，以便对症下药。get to know sb 意为“开始认识某人，知道某人”。
6. A。此处谈论的是 Mrs Green 第一次见到 Mrs White 的情景，这是她第一次拜访 Mrs White。
7. C。Mrs Green 提出看看 Mrs White 的房屋，她开心地答应了，由此可推断 Mrs White 对我们的房屋应是非常骄傲的。第 1 段中也交代了她的房屋非常宽敞舒适。
8. D。从语境看，此处写的是 Mrs Green 在 Mrs White 家参观的场景，故用 walk 才符合在家转转看看的实质。
9. D。Mrs Green 提出要在房屋里转转看看时，事先并不了解 Mrs White 家养了那样多紫罗兰。当她们转悠时，Mrs Green 忽然“注意”到了紫罗兰。
10. D。这是 Mrs White 对 Mrs Green 所提出问题的回答，故此处用reply。
11. B。从 I love these flowers and they grow so fast 及下文来看，Mrs White 家的紫罗兰“愈加多”。
12. B。从语境可知，这是看完房屋后 Mrs Green 给 Mrs White 提出的建议。be over 意为“结束”。
13. C。这里指 Mrs Green 依据 Mrs White 的具体状况提出一条建议。make a suggestion 为固定搭配，意为“提建议”。
14 D 从送花束来看，四个选项中只有 get married 符合送鲜花的实质。至于 A因文中已涉及到了，故此处应排除。
15. C。从上文的 I have one suggestion to ___13___ 来看，此处应填advice。在此 advice 与 suggestion 是近义词。
16. A。Mrs Green 曾建议 Mrs Green 把紫罗兰花送给一些朋友。从上下文来看，自从 Mrs Green 拜访她之后，她有几个月的时间都没赠送任何紫罗兰。give away 意为“捐赠，赠送”。
17. B。从下文她携带缠着丝带的鲜花去参加结婚典礼及语境来看，此处说的是她被邀请参加邻居女儿的结婚典礼。
18. C。前面叙述的是 Mrs White 初次携带鲜花参加一个邻居女儿的结婚典礼，这里说的是后来又有一次她携带鲜花去看望因病住院的朋友。later意为“将来，后来”，这是相对上次她参加结婚典礼而言的。
19. D。前面说有几个月她并没按医生说的那样做，之后列举了两次送鲜花的事，由此可推断她同意医生送花束的建议有个过程，是日渐地进行的，故用gradually。
20. B。几年来她坚持把鲜花送出，于是就有人称她为 the violet lady，即她以 the violet lady 而出名。Be / become known as… 可看作短语，意为“以……而出名”。
