Once there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by…the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I’m no longer a kid. I wouldn’t play around the tree any more.” the boy replied. “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited, “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help?” “Sorry, I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears ①.
“Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come and sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears ② …

解析試題分析：從前有一棵巨大的蘋果樹。一個小男孩每天都喜歡來玩耍。他愛這棵樹，樹也愛和他一起玩耍。
時間的流逝……小男孩長大了，不再每天圍著樹玩了。之后男孩回來過幾次，分別是要錢買玩具、蓋房子、去遠(yuǎn)行等等，都是在有困難的時候回來。暗示著，我們在有困難的時候才想起父母，應(yīng)該平時多一份感謝，多一份對父母的愛。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：為什么這個男孩采摘了樹上所有的蘋果？分析：男孩的一句話：“I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.”句意：男孩說：我想要玩具。我需要錢去買它們。蘋果樹說：對不起，我沒有錢。但是你能采摘我所有的蘋果去賣了它們，那樣你就有錢了。因此明確句意為：他需要錢去買玩具。故選B
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：這個男孩什么時候返回到蘋果樹這里？分析通過閱讀全文得知，這個小男孩返回到蘋果樹的這里的原因，想要錢買玩具、蓋房子、想去遠(yuǎn)行等等，都是在他有困難的時候來到這里的。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)只有第三項(xiàng)符合。故選 C
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：最后這個小男孩想做什么？分析原文中男孩最后回到蘋果樹這里，蘋果樹說的話：孩子，我現(xiàn)在什么都沒有了，只有樹根了。男孩說：好，老樹根是休息最好的地方。明確提出了是只想找一個可以休息的地方。故選B
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：從這篇故事中我們能學(xué)到什么？短文表面是描寫一棵蘋果樹與一個小男孩的故事，實(shí)際上是描寫孩子在父母的身邊成長的過程，面對父母，我們更多的是多一份感謝對我們的父母。故選D
【小題5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：通過短文的描述，下列哪一個是錯誤的？分析原文：“Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears .句意：這是蘋果樹說的一句話：抱歉，我的孩子。我什么都沒有了。只有這個老樹根了。聯(lián)系下文，男孩坐在樹根上休息，樹是高興的。充分說明，只有男孩能來，蘋果樹就高興。故選A
考點(diǎn)：人生哲理類短文閱讀。

Does this ever happen to you? Someone introduces you to a friend, you hear his or her name, and then two minutes later, you forget it. Or you go to the same restaurant every day and the owner always says “Hello” to you but you can never remember her name. If this happens, you are typical — actually most people have the problem remembering names.
Here are some ways that can help people remember names.
※ Repeat the person’s name loud at least three times while you talk together. For example, instead of saying “Nice to meet you.” say “Nice to meet you, Jack (for Sue or whatever the person’s name is).” Instead of saying “Where do you live?” you can say “Where do you live, Jack?”
※ Introduce the person by name to someone else right away.
※ Write the name down (with a little information about the person) as soon as possible.
There are other ways which may seem a little strange. However, try them.
※ Think of a story using the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack has a nice jacket.” Imagine Jack in a nice jacket.
※ Think of a rhyme（押韻）for the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack would look nice in black.” Imagine Jack wearing black clothes.
All these ways have one thing in common. You must pay attention to the people you meet. You can’t just meet someone, nod your head, say hello, and walk away. Remembering names takes work and practice.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷下列句子正誤。正確的用“A”表示，不正確的用“B”表示。
【小題1】 Few people have problems remembering others’ names.
【小題2】The word “typical” probably means “common”.
【小題3】 It may seem unusual to help remember a name by making up a story with it.
【小題4】If you want to remember names easily, you must talk politely to the people you meet.
【小題5】 This passage mainly tells us how to get on well with others.

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “ is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl, I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易動感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace — it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折疊) and refolded many times. It was my letter.
“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”
【小題1】 The passage shows that __________.

A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B．Mother was too serious about her daughter in words
C．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
D．Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words
【小題2】The word “gulf” in the passage means __________.
A．deep understanding between the old and the young
B．different ideas between mother and daughter
C．free talks between mother and daughter
D．part of the sea going far in land
【小題3】 What’s best title of the passage?
A．My Letter to MotherB．Mother and Children
C．My Mother’s DeskD．Talks between Mother and me
