Question

For as long as I can remember, Grandma’s plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer’s end. Each September, just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days, Grandma requests (ask for something) my help in her tomato garden. I’m sure that she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind. She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking. While Grandma’s request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same, her desire for my help seems to increase each year.

　　Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes. I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe（成熟的）tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe. I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way, which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.

　　There we are, lost in the tomato vines（藤）. Grandma’s eyes are always knowing, and they are no different in the vegetable garden. From afar she spots (notice) what looks like a ripe tomato. As she walks toward the garden, she evaluates the tomato for a second time, but from a different angle. I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen. However, Grandma acts as if she needs a final look to be sure. She calls me to her side, kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face, and grasps the tomato in her hand. She turns each round, red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a half-hearted smile.

　　She then looks at me. I nod my head and smile. Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection. I know I smile, instead, at her.

1.C

2.A

3.D

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章講的是我并不擅長(zhǎng)摘西紅柿，但是每年夏末奶奶還是要找我和她自己一起摘西紅柿，由此表達(dá)出祖孫兩人之間深厚的感情。

1.推斷題。本題從第一段可知奶奶和她一起摘西紅柿。理由是我的youthful eyes and quick mind。但從第二段又可知奶奶找西紅柿比我快多了，因此可知奶奶的真正目的是為了和孫子在一起。故選C

2. 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。第二段I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe（成熟的）tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe.我找奶奶可能會(huì)喜歡的西紅柿，找到一個(gè)熟的，伸手去摘，卻摘回另外一個(gè)�？芍�他很不善于干這種活。故選A

3.主旨題。通讀全文，可總結(jié)這篇文章是圍繞摘西紅柿這件事表達(dá)奶奶與孫子之間的親情,所以本文的標(biāo)題應(yīng)該是摘西紅柿。故選D

考點(diǎn)：人生百味類記敘文
