【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,讲述的是作者有感于春天的活力,从偶然读到的一段话联想到生命的意义与坚持。生命长存于漫漫沙漠的植物中,长存于冬去春来的绿意中。冬去春来,生命依然长存,而我们也要继续前行。

2.A 根据下文中的“Suddenly I wasn't unhappy and impatient any more”可知,作者当时在图书馆里的心情是很烦闷的。故选bored“厌倦的,烦闷的”。

们的偶然性。

5.A 根据下文中的“on the phone”可知,作者给爷爷打电话。call“(给……)打电话”,符合语境。visit“看望,拜访”;consult“咨询”;inform“告知”。

8.A 但是一旦作者的爷爷明白(got it)了,他就笑了起来。make it“获得成功,准时到达”。

10.B 作者告诉爷爷她在漫长的冬天过后,最终看到春天,特别是偶然发现这句引语,自己是有多高兴。especially“特别,尤其”,符合语境。practically“实际地,差不多”;obviously“明显地”;naturally“自然而然地”。
