Question

8．When I was young，I had an old neighbor named Dr．Gibbs．He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known．He never shouted at us for playing in his yard．I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood．When Dr．Gibbs was happy，he was planting trees．And his life's goal was to make it a forest．
Dr．Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting．He talked about trees that weren't watered would grow deep roots in search of water．So he never watered his trees．He planted an oak （橡樹） and，instead of watering it every morning，he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper．I asked him why he did that，and he said it was to get the tree's attention．
Dr．Gibbs died a couple of years．Every now and then，I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago．They're very strong now．
I planted a couple of trees a few years later．I watered them regularly and took good care of them．Whenever a cold wind blows，they shake their leaves and branches．
The funny thing about those trees of Dr．Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could．

分析 作者通過他的鄰居種樹的經(jīng)歷來告訴我們對于成長來說有時候困難是必備的．

解答 1：B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段最后一句And his life's goal was to make it a forest．說明他的目標(biāo)就是種出一片森林，鞏固B正確．
2：C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段前3行Dr．Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting．He talked about trees that weren't watered would grow deep roots in search of water．So he never watered his trees．Dr．Gibbs 說在種樹方面他有有趣的理論．他講述不澆水的樹根系會更發(fā)達(dá)而自行去尋找水源，因此他從不給樹澆水，因此說明C正確．
3：B 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章最后3行The funny thing about those trees of Dr．Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could．說明文章想告訴我們的就是對于成長來說有時候困難是必備的．作者通過他的鄰居種樹的經(jīng)歷來告訴我們這個道理．故選B．
