Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。
C
The Daily Mirror says that spring comes early but the BBC says it comes late. Who is right? The answer is a bit of both.
We all have an idea of what spring means - many flowers, warmer weather, more rain, birds' singing and so on. If you think when the thrushes (畫眉) sing, spring comes, then it's late this year. If you think when flowers come out, spring comes. Then it's early. Bluebells? Spring can be right on time.
There are many things in spring, but they don't all come at the same time. Some may come early, and some may come late. So we don't define spring by looking at one animal or plant. We must watch many things to define it. Do you think so?

（2）D
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】短文大意：每日鏡報說春天會來的早，但是BBC說春天會來的晚，誰說的對呢？答案是兩者都有道理。
（1）根據(jù)文章第一句 The Daily Mirror says that spring comes early but the BBC says it comes late. 可知B正確。
（2）根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容 We all have an idea of what spring means - many flowers, warmer weather, more rain, birds' singing and so on. 可知選D。
（3）最后一段的意思是“春天有很多東西，但是他們并不都是同時到來，有的來的早一些，有的來的晚一些，所以我們不能只看到一種動物或植物就給春天下定義，我們必須觀察好多東西才能給春天下定義。”由此可知difine 是“定義，使明確”的意思，故選B。
（4）整篇文章講述的是我們?nèi)绾味�義春天，故How to Define Spring可知作文文章的標題，選D。
