C(2025·江苏盐城实验初级中学期中)
When she was alone, Mary felt lonelier than ever. She went out of the house and ran around the garden ten times. Ben Weatherstaff was working in it.
"Spring is coming," he said to Mary. "I can smell it in the air. ."
At this moment, the robin flew towards them and landed at Mary's feet.
"He remembers me," she said.
"He knows everything here," Ben said. "Only he knows what's happening in the secret garden without a door into it. No one else has been inside it for ten years."
Ben walked away to continue his work. Mary began talking to the robin. She felt happier than she had ever felt.
The robin trusted her and did not fly away. It began pecking(啄食) at the ground, looking for a worm to eat. Mary looked closely at the ground. She saw that there was something like metal(金属). She picked it up. It was dirty and rusty. She cleaned it and saw that it was a key.
"It's been in the ground for many years," she thought. "I wonder if it is the key to the garden. If it is, then I must find the door."
Mary skipped(跳跃) around the garden. The robin followed her. Mary stopped skipping and spoke to the robin.
"He showed me where to find the key," she thought. "Can you show me where the door is?"
The robin sat on the top of the garden wall. It began to sing. The wall was covered with ivy. Mary pulled at a piece of the ivy. It came away from the wall. Behind the wall was a door. Mary put the key in the lock of the door and turned it. The door opened. Only seconds later, Mary was inside the secret garden.
Mary thought it was the most beautiful garden she had ever seen.

解析：
【分析】
这是一篇名著节选类阅读理解题，解题时可以按题型逐个对应原文定位推导：第8题句子还原题要紧扣前文提到的“春天即将到来”的语境，排除和春景不符的选项；第9题判断事物属性，直接从文中找对应描述的特征匹配即可；第10题事件排序题回到原文逐段标记知更鸟的行为先后顺序，用排除法就能锁定正确顺序；第11题选最佳标题要抓住全文核心主线，排除只描述局部内容的片面选项。
【解析】
8. 前文Ben明确提到“春天要来了，我在空气里都能闻到春的气息”，A选项“很快夏天就要来”不符合刚入春的语境，B选项“很快天气会变冷”和春天到来的表述完全矛盾，D选项“很快动物会躲进森林”和春景无关，只有C选项“很快就会有春天的花朵”完全呼应春天将至的场景，因此选C。
9. 文中描述robin会飞、会啄食地面的虫子、还会唱歌，这些都是鸟类的典型特征，因此robin是一只鸟，选B。
10. 梳理原文知更鸟的行为先后顺序：首先是飞向两人落在Mary脚边（d），之后啄地面找虫子吃（c），接着跟着Mary在花园里转（a），最后坐在花园墙顶唱歌（b），对应顺序为d-c-a-b，选C。
11. 全文核心主线是Mary在知更鸟的引导下找到尘封十年的秘密花园，A选项“Mary找门”只是局部细节，C选项“Mary记得知更鸟”不是文章核心，D选项文中完全没有提到“最好的朋友”相关内容，只有B选项“Mary找到秘密花园”能完整覆盖全文内容，选B。
