Anyone who's ever been a maid of honor (伴娘) knows that weddings can make people feel extremely tired.But for one flower girl,even the thought of making her way down the aisle (过道)wore her out.Sixmonthold Rugbie played a flower girl role for her aunt's wedding,but when it came time for her to make her way down the aisle,sleepiness overcame her.Her father,Joe Morman,posted a photo online of his baby girl making her way down the aisle fast asleep,falling back in the wedding wagon (小推车)pulled by her mom.“My daughter was supposed to be a flower girl in her aunt's wedding,but napping is life,” said Morman.
“About 20 minutes before the wedding she was getting tired,so I was holding her and singing to her so she would go to sleep and get a quick little power nap in before the wedding,” Morman explained.“But when it came time for the wedding,she wouldn't wake up for anything.She would open her eyes and look around then pass right back out.” We know that feeling.
But of course,the wedding must go on.Rugbie's mom,Lizzie,continued as planned,pulling her lovely daughter down the aisle in the wagon.“As soon as the wagon got to the end of the aisle and I picked her up,she opened her eyes and was ready to go,” the dad recalls.Luckily,the bride and groom thought it was funny.Plus,the bride was happy to share the public attention.
Everyone else thought it was interesting,obviously.The little girl's deep sleep actually surprised her parents.“She has never done that before and she is usually not hard to wake up at all,” Morman says.Well,now they know for next time.And while Rugbie was unable to throw the flower petals (花瓣),we have a feeling that this cute girl will get herself another place in future family weddings.
【解题导语】 一个六个月大的小女孩本该在她姑姑的婚礼上做花童扔花瓣,却在中途睡着了;她非但没因这一幕受到责备,反而赢得了大家的喜爱。

解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段的内容“Sixmonthold Rugbie played a flower girl role for her aunt's wedding...”可知六个月大的Rugbie在她姑姑的婚礼上做花童。C项正确。
22.What happened during the wedding?
A.Rugbie fell asleep on her way down the aisle.
B.Joe Morman posted his daughter's video online.
C.The wagon pulled by a woman turned over.
D.Lizzie sang a song to the bride during the wedding.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段的“...when it came time for her to make her way down the aisle,sleepiness overcame her”可知A项正确。
23.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to“________”.
A.the bride's attitude
B.the little girl
C.the girl's sleeping
D.the wedding
解析:选C 代词指代题。根据最后一段代词所在句子的意思:很显然大家都认为这很有趣。然而这个小女孩的沉睡实际上让她的父母感到很惊讶。所以“it”在此指代的是“小女孩睡着这件事”,故选C。
24.What does the author intend to indicate by the last sentence?
A.Rugbie didn't do well as a flower girl.
B.Rugbie didn't want to throw the flower petals.

解析:选D 推理判断题。末段最后一句话的意思为:虽然Rugbie没能扔花瓣,但我们觉得这个可爱的女孩会在未来的家庭婚礼中还会有其他的任务交给她。作者在此说这句话的意思不是指Rugbie的花童角色做得不好,也没有指向Rugbie扔花瓣的个人意愿,也不是说她需要在婚礼中担任其他的角色;而是暗指Rugbie赢得了很多人的喜爱,以至于在未来的婚礼中,大家还是愿意让Rugbie来参与其中。故D项最符合作者的意图。
