An old man lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Every morning the grandpa got up early. He would sit at the kitchen table and read his books. His grandson wanted to be just ________ him and read the books as well.

One day the grandson asked. “Grandpa! I try to read the books, but I don’t understand them. I forget what I read as soon as I ________ the book. What is the good of reading the books?”

The grandpa replied, “Take this basket down to the river and bring me ________ a basket of water.”

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time.” He sent the grandson back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was ________ before he returned home. The old man said, “You’re just not trying hard enough.” He went out of the door to watch the boy try again.

The boy again put the basket into the river and then ran hard. But when he ________ his grandpa, again there was nothing in the basket. Out of breath, he said, “See, Grandpa, it’s useless!”

“So you think it is useless?” the old man said, “Look at the basket.” The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It was ________ dirty. It was a clean one now.

【解析】

小男孩很困惑，他讀完書以后什么都不記得了，他就問爺爺讀書有什么用。爺爺讓他拿著籃子去打水，經(jīng)過反復(fù)幾次，他根本沒有打到水，因為水都流出去了。雖然沒有打到水，但是籃子卻干凈了。爺爺以這個例子告訴孫子，雖然你忘了書上的東西，但是其實讀書的同時，你也在發(fā)生改變，這就是讀書的意義。

【1】句意：他的孫子想要只是像他一樣，也在讀書。

like像；different不同的；same一樣的；repeat重復(fù)。like是及物動詞，可直接接sb.，表示“像某人一樣”，根據(jù)下半句read the books as well可知他想像爺爺一樣，也在餐桌旁讀書。same也有“一樣的”意思，但是same常接as sb.表示“與……一樣”。故選A。

【2】句意：我一合上書就會忘記我讀了什么。

as soon as表示“一……就”。根據(jù)前半句I forget what I read我會忘記我讀了什么，并結(jié)合備選詞匯意思，write寫；close合上；start開始；escape逃跑。close the book表示“合上書”，意思是“合上書我就忘了讀了什么”。故選B。

【3】句意：帶這個籃子去河邊，拿回來一籃子的水。

away離開；off離開；out出去；back回來。bring back sth.表示“拿回某物”。故選D。

【4】句意：這次小男孩跑的更快了，但是在他回家之前籃子又空了。

wet濕了；enpty空的；heavy重的；broken打破的。根據(jù)The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house.可知第一次小男孩打水，在到家之前水就漏空了。這次他快跑了，根據(jù)again可知籃子又空了。故選B。

【5】句意：但是當(dāng)他到達(dá)他的爺爺面前，籃子里還是沒有東西。

reached到達(dá)；ran跑；got得到；walked走路。reach當(dāng)“到達(dá)”講時，是及物動詞，可以直接接人或物。故選A。

【6】句意：籃子不再臟了。他現(xiàn)在是干凈的了。

all the time始終；in face事實上；at last最后；no longer不再。根據(jù)It was a clean one now它現(xiàn)在是干凈的了，可知之前是臟的。故選D。

【7】句意：你可能不懂或者不記得所有事。但是讀書過后，你會改變你自己。

approached接近；checked檢查；changed改變；dreamed。根據(jù)It was no longer dirty. It was a clean one now.可知爺爺以籃子為例，籃子之前是臟的，裝過水，雖然水都流出去了，但是籃子干凈了。和自己讀書的狀態(tài)作比較，雖然什么不記得，但是你就像籃子一樣，本身已經(jīng)發(fā)生了改變。故選C。
