A(2025·浙江杭州期中)
After a long week at work，I could finally go to the beach by myself. It was a lovely time to watch families come and go for a warm weekend here in California.
After a few hours，I noticed a little girl playing by herself. It looked like she built a sandcastle and was now trying to fill it with water. The sandcastle looked beautiful in the summer sunshine.
Unluckily，there was no container around to carry water. She would go to the waves，cup her hands and then walk back to her little castle. Sadly，not much of the water was kept in her hands every time she returned to the castle. But she kept trying and was still smiling and hopeful. So I wished I could help her out.
As I was standing there watching her，I suddenly realized I had a bottle of water in my bag. I quickly took it out and walked over to give it to her.
Uncertain of what to do first，she shook her head shyly，saying no. I reassured(使……安心) her it would make getting the water faster. She smiled widely and finally took it. Not wanting her to feel uncomfortable，I walked off the beach right away.
Looking back at her running to the sea with the same big smile，I knew when she noticed someone needed help in her life，she would recall(回忆起) this little act of kindness from a stranger. And then a gentle world would be around her.

答案：A
1. A
2. B 【解析】根据第三段中“Unluckily，there was no container around to carry water. She would go to the waves，cup her hands and then walk back to her little castle.”可知，小女孩没有能装水的容器，只能用手捧水，所以“container”指的是水桶之类的容器。
3. C 【解析】根据第三段中“But she kept trying and was still smiling and hopeful.”和倒数第二段中“Uncertain of what to do first，she shook her head shyly，saying no.”以及“She smiled widely and finally took it.”可知，起先，即使没有盛水的容器，小女孩还是乐观的，后来，她在“我”给她瓶子时感到害羞，但最后她还是开心地接受了“我”的瓶子，则 C 项对应小女孩情绪的转变。
4. D

A（2025·浙江杭州期中）
在一周漫长的工作之后，我终于可以独自去海滩了。在加利福尼亚，这是一个美好的时光，能看到一家人来来往往，度过一个温暖的周末。
几个小时后，我注意到一个小女孩独自玩耍。看起来她建了一座沙堡，现在正试图往里面装水。在夏日的阳光下，沙堡看起来很漂亮。
不幸的是，周围没有可以装水的容器。她会走到海浪边，用手捧起水，然后走回她的小城堡。遗憾的是，每次她回到城堡时，手里都留不下多少水。但她一直尝试着，仍然面带微笑，满怀希望。所以我希望我能帮助她。
当我站在那里看着她时，我突然意识到我的包里有一瓶水。我很快把它拿出来，走过去递给她。
她不确定先做什么，害羞地摇了摇头，说不。我向她保证这会让取水更快。她笑得很灿烂，最后接过了它。为了不让她感到不舒服，我立刻离开了海滩。
回头看着她带着同样灿烂的笑容跑向大海，我知道当她在生活中注意到有人需要帮助时，她会回忆起这个来自陌生人的小小的善举。然后一个温柔的世界会围绕在她身边。
（A）1. 天气怎么样？
A. 晴朗的。
