Question

【題目】完形填空
Once there lived a farmer called Henry. He had a brother, Mike, in town who was an excellent gardener. His skill and his beautiful trees were 1 everywhere.
One day, Henry went to town to visit Mike. “Look, my brother,” said Mike. “Here is the best 2 tree from my garden. Take it home and 3 it so that you, and your children, and your children's children can enjoy it.” Henry was 4 with the apple tree and went back home. The next morning, he began to 5 where he should plant it.
“If I plant it on the hill,” said he to himself, “the wind might catch it and 6 down the fruit. If I plant it close to the road, people who pass by will pick some of them. But if I plant it...”
7 he planted the tree in the corner behind his house, where no one else could notice it. But the tree bore（結(jié)出） no fruit the first year, nor the second. Then Henry sent for his brother and said to him 8, “You have cheated me. This is the third year and it brings me 9 but leaves.” When Mike saw where the tree was planted, he laughed and said, “You have planted the tree in such a cold corner without 10 or warmth. How, then, could you expect flowers and fruit?”

【解析】從前有一個叫亨利的農(nóng)民，他有一個兄弟叫麥克，是鎮(zhèn)上有名的園丁，麥克的技術(shù)以及他的漂亮的樹遠(yuǎn)近聞名。有一天亨利去鎮(zhèn)上看望麥克，麥克把他花園里最好的一棵蘋果樹送給了亨利。亨利對蘋果樹很滿意，可是帶回家后卻犯了難，該把蘋果樹種在哪里呢？種在山上擔(dān)心風(fēng)會搖落蘋果，種在路邊又擔(dān)心路人會摘走蘋果……最后，他把這棵樹種在了自己房子后面的角落里。可是一年、兩年、三年過去了，蘋果樹除了長葉子一個蘋果也沒結(jié)，亨利生氣第去找麥克。當(dāng)麥克看到蘋果樹的位置后大笑著說：“你把樹種在如此寒冷的地方，沒有陽光，沒有溫暖，你又怎能期待它長出花兒和果實？”
(1)simple“簡單的”；famous“出名的”；similar“相似的”；common“普通的”。上句提到亨利的哥哥是一位優(yōu)秀的園藝師，因此他的 技藝和他種植的樹木遠(yuǎn)近聞名。故選B項。
(2)由后面句子中...withthe apple tree and went back home.可知，這里指的是蘋果樹。故選C項。
(3)由后面sothat you, and your children, and your children's children can enjoy it可知，亨利的哥哥讓亨利把蘋果樹帶回家栽種。故選D項。
(4) bepleased with“對……滿意”。亨利對這棵蘋果樹很滿意，回了家。故選C項。
(5)從下文亨利的自言自語可以看出，他不知道把蘋果樹種到哪里才好。因此推知本句意為“第二天早上，他開始琢磨他應(yīng)該把蘋果樹種在哪里”。故選B項。
(6)如果把蘋果樹種在山上，亨利擔(dān)心風(fēng)會搖落蘋果。shakedown“搖落”。故選D項。
(7)上文提到亨利考慮了幾個種蘋果樹的地方，都被自己否定了。 最后，他把這棵樹種在了自己房子后面的角落里。finally“最后”，符合句意。故選A項。
(8)由下句亨利對哥哥所說的話Youhave cheated me.（你欺騙了我。）可知，亨利很生氣，angrily“生氣地”與語境相符。故選B項。
(9)but在本句中意為“除了”，常與nothing等否定詞連用。句意：這是第三年了，除了樹葉，它什么也沒有給我?guī)�來。故選A項。
(10)由前面 Youhave planted the tree in such a cold corner（你把樹種在如此寒冷的角落里）可知，這里沒有陽光和溫暖。sunlight“陽光”，與語境相符。故選D項。
