Narcissus was a handsome youth. His lovely face and graceful form were the admiration of all who looked upon him. And he knew it. He was so proud that he thought no one but himself was worthy to see his youthful beauty. Narcissus avoided all company, just roamed the wooded hills every day, madly in love with himself. When he was delightfully wandering about through the woods one day, a wood nymph (仙女), Echo by name, caught sight of him. She fell in love with him at once. Joyfully moving down towards Narcissus, she stretched out her loving arms. To her disappointment, however, the young man roughly brushed her aside and went by without so much as a glance at her. The poor nymph blushed and quickly withdrew to a shady spot, following the object of her love with her longing eyes. Presently Narcissus stopped to drink from a little brook. Kneeling down on the side, he saw a lovely face in the clear water. He smiled and was smiled back to. Thinking that it must be a beauty in love with him, he bent down to kiss her. But as soon as he touched the clear surface the lovely face vanished. The youth was now desperate. Never had he been despised like that before. Day and night, he stayed at the stream without drinking and eating. Before long he died, never suspecting that his nymph was none other than his own image in the brook. The gods took pity on the fair corpse and turned it into a flower bearing his name. Echo saw all this, slowly she faded away for despised love, until at last nothing remained of her except her voice.It can be inferred from the story that narcissus nowadays refers to（） A. a kind of flower growing in water B. tragic love C. a kind of flower growing in wood D. despised love

解析
考查要点：本题考查学生对经典神话故事的细节理解能力，以及将文学形象与现实世界中的对应物联系起来的能力。关键在于识别故事中的象征意义，并结合常识判断选项。
解题核心思路：
- 抓住故事结局：Narcissus最终被变成了一朵以他名字命名的花。
- 联系现实知识：现实中的“水仙花”（学名Narcissus）是一种常见花卉，尤其与水中生长的环境相关。
- 排除干扰项：选项B、D描述的是爱情类型，与“花”无关；选项C的“木本花”与故事中溪边的场景关联性较弱。
破题关键点：
- 故事结尾明确提到“变成一朵花”，直接指向选项中的花类。
- “溪边”场景暗示水生环境，与选项A的“水生花”形成对应。
故事关键信息提取
- Narcissus的结局：因过度自恋而死，被神转化为“以他名字命名的花”。
- 花的生长环境：故事中Narcissus在溪边看到自己的倒影，暗示花与水相关。
- 现实对应：现实中“水仙花”（Narcissus）常生长于溪边、湿地等水生环境。
选项分析
- A. 水生花：符合故事中溪边的场景，且现实中的水仙花确实与水相关。
- C. 木本花：与故事中“溪边”场景无直接关联，且水仙花属于草本植物。
