问题    The morning after my teacher came, she led me into her room and gave me a doll. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly, I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother, I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything had a name.
   One day, while I was playing with my new doll, Miss Sullivan also put my big rag doll into my lap, spelled "d-o-l-l" and tried to make me understand that "d-o-l-l" applied to both. Earlier in the day we had had a tussle over the words "m-u-g" and "w-a-t-e-r." Miss Sullivan had tried to impress it upon me that "m-u-g" is mug and "w-a-t-e-r" is water, but I persisted in confounding the two. In despair, she had dropped the subject for the time, only to renew it at the first opportunity. I became impatient at her repeated attempts and, seizing the new doll, I dashed it upon the floor. I was keenly delighted when I felt the fragments of the broken doll at my feet. Neither sorrow nor regret followed my passionate outburst. I had not loved the doll. In the still, dark world in which I lived, there was no strong sentiment or tenderness.
   We walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance of the honeysuckle with which it was covered. Someone was drawing water, and my teacher placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand, she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten — a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that "w-a-t-e-r" meant the wonderful cool, something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away.
   I left the well-house, eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house, every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to me. On entering the door, I remembered the doll I had broken. I felt my way to the hearth and picked up the pieces. I tried vainly to put them together. Then my eyes filled with tears; for I realized what I had done, and for the first time I felt repentance and sorrow. [br] When the teacher spelled the word "doll" into the girl’s hand, she followed suit EXCEPT that______.
选项 A、she was interested in the finger play
B、her fingers went in monkey-like imitation
C、she was eager to show her success to her mother
D、she understood at once that everything had a name
答案 D
解析    细节识别。题目问的是当老师拼写doll的时候，以下哪一个不是。根据第一段最后的“But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything had a name”可知，老师教了她好几周，她才明白每样东西都有名称，而不是题目所讲的，立刻就明白了。【知识拓展】本题对before的理解很关键。它的常见用法主要有：①表示“在……之前，……才”， 如The American Civil War lasted four years before the North won in the end(美国南北战争持续了四年，北方才最终取得胜利)。②表示“还没来得及就……”，如He turned around the corner before I waved good-bye(我们还没来得及挥手道别，他就转过街角走了)。③表示“趁……就”“没等……就”，如The government took prompt actions before things got worse(没等事态恶化，政府就迅速采取了措施)。④表示“在……之前就……”，如The train had left before we reached the railway station(我们还没到车站，火车就开走了)。
