Ⅲ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。佛罗里达州的Brenda在毕业演讲时借用一篮草莓，告诉人们生活是自己创造的，要努力让自己变得更好。
1．C [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“These are not ordinary strawberries．”和“revealing what each represents：sweat，dirt，aches，and pains” 可知，Brenda在告诉大家，她带来的草莓并不普通，每一个草莓分别代表汗水、泥土、疼痛和痛苦。因此，Brenda带草莓来参加毕业典礼是为了更好地诠释她演讲的主题。故选C。]

4．A [推理判断题。根据最后一段中Brenda的话可知，她认为过去的境况并不能主宰你的未来，如果你来自一个贫困的家庭，那就利用一切资源努力让自己变得更好，你才是自己的故事的作者。由此推知，她想给年轻人传达的信息是“生活是你自己创造的”。故选A。]
Ⅳ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者的妈妈是一名职业女性，在她的影响下，作者形成了积极的人生态度。
1．A [考查形容词词义辨析。根据下文中的“Kids whose mothers have jobs”和作者的经历可知，此处表示有工作的妈妈。故选A。]
2．B [考查名词词义辨析。根据语境和常识可知，有工作的妈妈的孩子坚守男性挣钱养家者和女性持家者的传统角色的可能性较小。breadwinner“挣钱养家的人”。故选B。]

10．a [考查冠词。age是可数名词，at a/an．．．age意为“在一个……的年纪”，young的发音以辅音音素开头，故填不定冠词a。]
