一條”的話一直在指引著作者，幫助作者渡過一次次難關。

B.Thesewinggirlswerecalledoutonstrike.

C.ShefoundithardtotrackArmenianslivinginParis.

D.Therewasashortageofsuitablecloth.

答案A[細節理解題。根據第三段的“Myhappinessdisappeared...toknitone

sweater.”可知，作者在接受訂單后，Vidian告訴作者織一件毛衣幾乎要花一周時

間，所以Vidian不可能在最后期限前完成任務。]

5.Whatdotheunderlinedwords“thefirstshipment”refertoinParagraph4?

A.Rawmaterials.B.Moreorders.

C.Thefortysweaters.D.Thespecialstitch.

答案C[詞義猜測題。根據第三段的“ANewYorkstorewanted40sweaterstobe

readyintwoweeks.Iacceptedtheorder.”以及畫線詞上文“ThenIsearchedforany

ArmenianslivinginParis.AtlastItrackeddownseveral.”可知，作者找了幾個住在巴

黎的亞美尼亞人來完成這四十件毛衣。故畫線詞指的是“四十件毛衣”。]

C.Easiersaidthandone.D.AllroadsleadtoRome.

答案D[推理判斷題。根據第一段的“‘See，mydear，’Fathersaid

gently.‘Thereismorethanonewaytothesquare.’”并結合文章主要講述了父親

說過的“通往廣場的路不止一條”的話一直在指引著作者，幫助作者渡過一次次

難關，可推知，作者認同“條條大路通羅馬”。]
