单选题 Passage Two My five-year-old daughter knew exactly what she wanted for Christmas of 1977, and told me so. Yes, she still would like the pink-and-green plastic umbrella, books, long nightgown, slippers--fine. But really, there was only one thing that mattered: a Barbie Townhouse, with all the accessories. This was a surprise. Rebecca was not a Barbie girl, preferred stuffed animals to dolls, and wasn't drawn to play in a structured environment. Always a make-up-the-rules, design-my- own-world, do-it-my-way kid. Maybe, I thought, the point wasn't Barbie but the house, which she could claim for herself, since we'd already moved five times during her brief life. Next day, I stopped at the mall. The huge Barbie Townhouse box was there: "3 Floors of High-Styled Fun! Elevator Can Stop on All Floors!" Some Assembly Required. Uh-oh. My track record for assembling things was miserable. Brooklyn-born, I was raised in apartment buildings in a family that didn't build things. A few years earlier, I'd spent one week assembling a six-foot-tall jungle gym from a kit containing so many parts. I spent the first four hours sorting and the last two hours trying to figure out why there were so many pieces. The day after I finished building it, as if to remind me of my limitations, a tornado (龙卷风) touched down close enough to scatter the jungle gym across an acre of field. I assembled the Barbie Townhouse on Christmas Eve. Making it level, keeping the columns from looking like they'd melted and been refrozen, and getting that elevator to work were almost more than I could manage. And building it in curse-flee silence so my daughter would continue sleeping--if, in fact, she was sleeping--added a layer of challenge. By dawn I was done. Shortly thereafter, my daughter walked into the living room. Her surprise may not be real, but her delight was utterly genuine and moves me to this day, 34 years later. Rebecca had spurred me to do something I didn't think I could do. It was for her, and-like so much of the privilege of being her father---it brought me further outside myself and let me overcome doubts about my capacities.

单选题 In the author's eyes, his little daughter was ______.

单选题 The author thought that his daughter's choice of the Barbie Townhouse ______.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】根据第一小题提供的信息，我们知道女儿是一个Always a make-up-the-rules，design-my-own-world，do-it-my-way kid，即什么事情都要有新意的人。所以我们应该发现A与D选项，是不符合这个小女孩的风格的。第二段第二句话和最后一句话Rebecca was not a Barbie girl，already moved five times during her brief life可知，女儿短短的生命里已经搬了5次家。与之匹配的选项是B。

单选题 For the author, assembling things ______.

单选题 Assembling the Barbie Townhouse ______

单选题 In the last paragraph the author mainly expressed ______.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】通过前面一题目的完成，同时从最后一段可知：Rebecca had spurred me to do something．I didn't think I could do．It was for her，and—like so much of the privilege of being her father—it brought me further outside myself and let me overcome doubts about my capacities．女儿让自己做了自己认为不能够完成的事情，也克服了怀疑自己能力的缺点。所以作者对女儿是感激的，答案是B。
