(答案→)C
解析：
【小题1】C。happy快乐。从下文来看，农夫的妻子以前从未用过镜子，当她看到镜子中的自己时，开心地笑了，说明这个礼物使她非常快乐。
【小题2】B。except除了……之外。依常识可知，在小溪或池塘的水中是可以映出人影的。此处意为“此前除了在池塘或小溪的水中看到过自己之外，她还从来没有看到过自己的影像。”故此处选B。
【小题3】B。在镜子中看到了她那张可爱的脸face。
【小题4】C。从下句“The farmer was joyful，too. ”可判断 出答案应为joy。
【小题5】D。此句意为“他知道拥有这样一位美丽的妻子wife是多么幸运。”故答案选D。
【小题6】A。妻子在分娩时不幸去世，说明当时难产。Difficult困难的。
【小题7】B。本句为so. . . that. . .句型。sad为形容词，故不可选D。
【小题8】B。put sth. away指“把某物收起”，农夫因悲伤 而把有关妻子的东西全部收起。put up提升, 张贴；put down放下, 写下；put off推迟。
【小题9】A。从第一段可以看出妻子非常喜欢这个镜子， 且第四段中的“. . .the mirror she so loved.”给出了信息。因 此可判断镜子是“妻子”最喜爱的(favourite)东西。
【小题10】C。lay是lie的过去式，意为“躺”。此处指镜子 一直躺在箱子里。put和keep在此处应用被动语态；hold不符 合语境。
【小题11】D。此处意为: 女儿一年年长大(grow)了。
【小题12】B。“女儿长得越来越像她的母亲。”look与like搭配，意为“看上去像，长得像”。
【小题13】A。农夫跟女儿讲她母亲和她母亲所心爱的镜子的事情。tell sb. about sth. 告诉某人某事。
【小题14】D。从后面could not contain herself和dug into的动作可知，她迫不及待地想看看母亲的那面镜子，因此可以 判断她对父亲所讲述的事情很感兴趣(interested in)。
【小题15】B。她在母亲的旧物中找到了(find)那面镜子。
【小题16】A。她要照自己的脸，自然是在脸前举起了(lift)镜 子。
【小题17】D。look deeply into深深地看着。
【小题18】B。从她的言语中可以看出其惊喜之情，故可判断她是在大声地喊着父亲。ment评论，不符合语境。
【小题19】A。镜中是女儿自己的脸，但是(but)父亲难抑对妻子的思念之情，对女儿的话没有做出任何言语上的反应。
【小题20】C。他的眼泪因感动夺眶而出，哽咽难语，再结合上句“. . . her father didn’t say a word. ”综合判断答案为C。
