Question

【題目】 There were two men who lived next to each other. One of them was a teacher and the other was a doctor. Both of them had planted many different plants in their gardens. The teacher seldom watered his plants and didn’t pay a lot of attention to them. But his neighbor was very careful with his plants and watered them often.

The teacher’s plants were small, but still looked okay, while the doctor’s plants were much bigger and greener. One night, there was heavy rain and wind. The next morning, both of the neighbors came out to check on their gardens. The doctor saw that his plants had been ripped from the ground and were destroyed. But the teacher’s plants were not damaged at all but stood firmly.

The doctor was surprised. He went to ask the teacher. “We both grew the same plants and I cared for my plants better than you did. How could your plants still be okay?” The teacher smiled and said, “Because I gave my plants just a little bit of water, so their roots had to grow deeper to absorb(吸收) more water. That is why my plants didn’t die.”

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】B

【4】A

【5】D

【解析】

本文講述了兩個人不同的植物種植方法，導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果不一樣。通過本篇文章告訴我一個道理，過多的關(guān)心會使我們變得更脆弱。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段，可知，這位老師很少給植物澆水，也很少關(guān)注它們；但是他的鄰居醫(yī)生經(jīng)常給植物澆水。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The teacher’s plants were small, but still looked okay，可知，這位老師的植物顯得很小。故選C。

【3】詞句猜測題。根據(jù)the teacher’s plants were not damaged at all“這位老師的植物根本沒有受損”，可知，劃線處句子表示“穩(wěn)固地立在那”，所以劃線處表示“穩(wěn)固地”。故選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The doctor was surprised. He went to ask the teacher，可知，這位醫(yī)生很驚訝地看到他的植物比鄰居的植物受損嚴(yán)重。故選A。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)The teacher smiled and said, “Because I gave my plants just a little bit of water, so their roots had to grow deeper to absorb more water. That is why my plants didn’t die”，“每天澆一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)水，植物的根必須生長的更深，以便吸收更多的水分，這就是為什么我的植物沒有死的原因”，可知，像這位醫(yī)生過度的關(guān)心只會讓植物更加脆弱，由此故事得知，太多的關(guān)心會使我們變得脆弱。故選D。
