Question

【題目】【湖南省長沙市2015年中考英語試題】閱讀表達 閱讀下面的短文，然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

難度：★★

My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home. But he would come back help to harvest(收割) rice every year.

One autumn, he promised to help our neighbor, who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999, to harvest his rice. After Father harvested our town, his little rice picker broke. What’s worse, he had to return to work the next day because his partner was ill in hospital. It meant that Father wouldn’t be back in a few days. It now seemed impossible to help out the neighbor.

Father told us that be wouldn’t let the neighbor’s rice rot( 糜爛) in the field. He decided to harvest it by hand without a machine. “If tonight’s weather is clear, I think I can do it.” added my father. In fact, he was rather tired after a day’s harvest work.

After dinner, Father had a short rest and made his way to the field. A full moon was glowing (發(fā)光) in the sky and the weather was cold but clear. He spent the whole night keeping his word.

I would never forget the image(畫面)：Father was cutting rice in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him, row after row of rice stocks(秸稈) stood at attention, showing respect for a man who kept his word.

試題分析：這篇短文作者講述了他的父親的故事。他的父親在城市里工作，很少回家，但是每年收割大米的時候，都會回來。他還幫助他的鄰居收大米，但是一次突然發(fā)生了一件事，他不得不第二天就要回去工作。為了實現(xiàn)他的諾言，他在晚上的時候，在月光下繼續(xù)幫助鄰居收大米。

【1】本題為一般疑問句，用Yes或No回答。根據(jù)短文的開頭My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home. But he would come back help to harvest(收割) rice every year可知，作者的父親在城市里工作，很少呆在家里。句中seldom是否定意思的次，很少，由此可知這個題的答案是否定的。

【2】根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞in 1999可以找到答案在短文中第二段第一句“One autumn, he promised to help our neighbor, who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999”。他的鄰居在一次交通事故中失去了胳膊。需要注意的是該定語從句中who指代的是“our neighbor”因此回答中用he做主語，用一般過去時態(tài)。

【3】根據(jù)題干中“return to work”可知答案應(yīng)定位到文中第二段第三行What’s worse, he had to return to work the next day because his partner was ill in hospital.，因為他的搭檔生病住院了，所以他第二天不得不回到了工作崗位上。由此可以得出答案。

【4】根據(jù)題干“help the neighbor harvest rice”可知答案應(yīng)定位到倒數(shù)第三段第二句“He decided to harvest it by hand without a machine.” ，他是用手而不是機器幫助鄰居收割大米。需要注意的是題干中的問句是用how來提問，表示用某種方式，因此用by回答。

【5】由題干中的spend 可知答案應(yīng)該定位到文中倒數(shù)第二段最后一句，“He spent the whole night keeping his word.”，故答案是The whole night整個晚上。而句中“keeping his word”便是說的“father spend in harvesting the neighbor’s rice”。
