【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：这篇文章主要叙述了妈妈通过一件校园事件教育女儿的故事。女儿因为紧张而失去了在学校喜剧里面扮演公主的机会而去做一名解说员，妈妈通过花园里的每一株植物都有用处让女儿认识到世界上的每一个人都有其存在的价值。

1.D考查动词及语境的理解。句意：但是一上舞台，一句话我也想不起来了。developed发展，培养；left离开；failed失败；Ddisappeared消失。根据后面的Then my teacher asked me to change my role to be a narrator（解说者）for the play. 一句可知，应该是每一句话都从我的脑海中消失了；所以选D。

2.C考查连词及语境的理解。句意：虽然我没有告诉妈妈那天发生的事情，但是妈妈注意到了我不开心，并且问我是否愿意到花园里去走走。If如果；Because因为；Though虽然；Since自从。Though表示让步，和后面的句子构成一种转折关系；所以选C。

3.D考查名词及语境的理解。difficulty困难；mistake错误；danger危险；unhappiness不开心。妈妈注意到了我回家后不高兴；所以选D。

4.A考查介词及语境的理解。句意：从成束的草丛中我们可以看到蒲公英开了。through穿过；past经过；beyond超出能力或范围；behind在……后面。表达“从……中”用介词through，所以选A。

5.B考查副词及语境的理解。句意：从现在开始，这个花园里只剩下玫瑰花了。hardly几乎不；only仅仅；still仍然；also也，还。除掉杂草之后就只剩下花了，即only，所以选B。

6.C考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：所有的花都很漂亮，甚至是蒲公英也很漂亮。harmless无害的；healthy健康的；beautiful漂亮的；fresh新鲜的。根据前面的一句But I like dandelions可知，作者是说蒲公英和玫瑰都很漂亮；所以选C。

7.B考查名词及语境理解。句意：跟人们一样。students学生；people人，人们；flowers花；teachers老师。联系前面的句子every flower gives pleasure in its own way可知该选B。

8.B考查动词及语境的理解。句意：当我意识到她猜出了我的痛苦时，我开始哭了，然后告诉了她实情。remembered记住；realized意识到；explained解释；promised答应，许诺。通过妈妈的教导意识到了妈妈的意图；所以选B。

9.D考查动词及语境的理解。句意：妈妈提醒我大声地讲故事。representing代表；complaining抱怨；recommending推荐；reminding提醒，使想起。妈妈提醒我的长处；所以选D。
