Question

【題目】A wealthy man asked an old scholar to tell his son away from his bad habits. The scholar took the young man for a walk through a garden. Stopping suddenly, he told the boy to pull out a tiny plant growing there.

The young man made it easily. The old man then asked him to pull out a little bigger plant. The young man pulled hard and the plant came out with its roots. “Now pull out that one,” said the old man, pointing to a little tree. The boy had to use all his strength to pull it out.

“Now take this one out,” said the old man, pointing at a big orange tree. The young man held the trunk (樹干) and tried to pull it out. But it would not move. “It's impossible”, said the boy, panting (喘息) with the effort.

“So it is with bad habits,” said the old man. “When they are young, it is easy to pull them out. But when they go deeply, they cannot be uprooted.”

【解析】短文大意：一個(gè)富人請(qǐng)求一位智者去除兒子的壞習(xí)慣。智者把這個(gè)孩子帶到了公園，要求這個(gè)年輕人先后四次拔出植物，由易到難，去類比壞習(xí)慣也是如此，當(dāng)它們還不明顯的時(shí)候，去除它們很容易，但是當(dāng)它們深深扎根的時(shí)候，就難以去除了。智者的這堂特殊的課改掉了孩子的壞習(xí)慣，改變了男孩的一生。

【1】C

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中的句子“The scholar took the young man for a walk through a garden.”可知，智者讓青年人在花園里與他一起散步，故答案為C。

【2】A

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中出現(xiàn)的句子to pull out a tiny plant，to pull out a little bigger plant. Now pull out that one, said the old man, pointing to a little tree. “Now take this one out,” said the old man, pointing at a big orange tree.可知，智者要求這個(gè)年輕人先后四次拔出植物。故答案為A。

【3】C

推理判斷題。智者要求這個(gè)年輕人先后四次拔出植物，由易到難，去類比壞習(xí)慣也是如此，當(dāng)它們還不明顯的時(shí)候，去除它們很容易，但是當(dāng)它們深深扎根的時(shí)候，就難以去除了。智者的這堂特殊的課改掉了孩子的壞習(xí)慣，改變了男孩的一生，足以說(shuō)明智者的聰明之處，故答案選C。

【4】D

主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文倒數(shù)第二段智者的話：“So it is with bad habits,” said the old man. “When they are young, it is easy to pull them out. But when they go deeply, they cannot be uprooted.”可知，壞習(xí)慣要及早的去除，越早遠(yuǎn)離壞習(xí)慣，越好。故答案為D。
