【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一位很有耐心，而又别具匠心的妈妈，教育孩子的故事，用沙漏和时钟作比，教育孩子做事情要有耐心、循序渐进，只要你用心去做，慢慢就会水到渠成的。

16. B　点拨：考查形容词词义辨析。句意为：他妈妈非常和蔼和______。根据下文“When it was proper to answer his questions，she would do so. ”只要能够回答他的问题，她都会回答的，可知妈妈是和蔼且有耐心的，而不是strict严格的，nervous担忧的，polite有礼貌的。排除选项A，C和D。故选B。

17. C　点拨：考查形容词词义辨析。句意为：当弗兰克第一次见到沙漏时，他是非常______，但是他不知道它是什么。pleased高兴的；relaxed轻松的；interested感兴趣的；bored厌倦的。因为是第一次见到，且后面的“他不知道它是什么”，所以最可能的是interested感兴趣的，排除选项A，B和D。故选C。

18. A　点拨：根据前面的内容可知， 是他妈妈。故选A。

19. A　点拨：考查动词短语辨析。句意为：沙子在它的一端被加入，然后______一个中间的小孔。run through穿过；run along沿着……跑；go over复习；go across穿过。根据句意可知要用“穿过”，run through是从中间穿过，go across是从表面穿过，故用run through。故选A。

20. D　点拨：考查介词词义辨析。句意为：被放进沙漏的沙子要______一小时才能穿过。before在……之前；of……的；on在……上；in在……之后。“in ＋一段时间”表达将来，选项D符合题意。

21. A　点拨：考查动词词义辨析。句意为：他说：“让我来______它，妈妈。”shake摇动；get得到；take拿走；carry运送。联系下文“它太懒惰了，将穿不过去”，推测是“摇动”。故选A。

22. D　点拨：考查副词词义辨析。句意为：沙子______移动，但是它一直在移动。carefully仔细地；quickly快速地；heavily大量地；slowly慢慢地。根据句意可知选D。

23. D　点拨：考查连词词义辨析。句意为：你在玩耍______，沙子正在一粒一粒地流动……Since自从、由于；Unless除非；Before在……之前；While当……时。前后都是进行时态，可知用While。故选D。

24. C　点拨：根据文章前句“When you look at the clock，you will find the same. ”当你看着时钟时，你会发现是一样的，可知这里说的是闹钟的“手”，即指针一秒一秒地走，和沙漏一粒一粒地漏一样，故选C。

25. C　点拨：根据上句的“At night，the sand in the hourglass has run through twelve times. ”可推断此处表示钟表的时针走了整整一圈，故选C。

26. D　点拨：句意为：这是因为它们每一______都不停地工作。这里是指“每一分钟都不停地工作”，即every minute。排除选项A，B和C。故选D。

28. B　点拨：句意为：现在，弗兰克的妈妈想让他学习一首诗，但是他却说：“妈妈，我______。”由连词but可知，前后意思转折，因此需要否定形式。故选B。

29. B　点拨：考查副词词义辨析。句意为：他的妈妈说：“一直学习，______关心它会花费的时间……”Often经常；Never从不；Always总是；Sometimes有时。用never否定。故选B。
