Question

20．Nothing could stop Dad．After he was put on disability for a bad back，he bought a small farm in the country，just enough to grow food for the family．He planted vegetables，fruit trees and even kept bees for honey．
And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure（肥料）．The smell really burned the inside of your nose．When we complained（抱怨） about the terrible smell，Dad said the stronger the manure，the healthier the crops，and he was right．For example，just one of his cantaloupes（甜瓜） filled the entire house with its sweet smell，and the taste was even sweeter．
As the vegetables started coming in，Dad threw himself into cooking．One day，armed with a basket of vegetables，he announced（宣稱） he was going to make stew（燉菜）．Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages，eggplants，potatoes，corns，onions and carrots．For about half an hour，the pressure built and the vegetables cooked．Finally，Dad turned off the stove，the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam．If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad，this was 10 times worse．When Dad took off the lid，the smell nearly knocked us out．
Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house．Just how bad was it？The neighbours came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
Determined，Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around．It didn't look that bad，and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell，it didn't offend the nose so much，either．I took a taste．It would never win a prize in a cooking competition，but it was surprisingly edible，and we drank up every last drop of soup．

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說(shuō)明文閱讀，作者通過(guò)這篇文章主要向我們描述了作者的父親患了背病，但是堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的父親仍堅(jiān)持自己種菜，本文作者就第一視角記錄了與父親直接的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴．

解答 29．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段"he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure（肥料）．"可知，清理雞舍為的是得到肥料．in exchange for：以…交換．故此題應(yīng)選C．
30．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容，尤其是"It would never win a prize in a cooking competition，but it was surprisingly edible，and we drank up every last drop of soup．"可知，燉菜的味道不錯(cuò)，最后一口湯都被喝光了．故此題應(yīng)選B．
31．B．詞義猜測(cè)題．根據(jù)最后一段"It didn't look that bad，and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell，it didn't offend the nose so much，either．I took a taste．It would never win a prize in a cooking competition，but it was surprisingly edible，and we drank up every last drop of soup．"句意可知，看起來(lái)也沒(méi)有那么壞，雖然最初我閉上了鼻子，不過(guò)也沒(méi)有____我的鼻子，猜測(cè)應(yīng)該是"使…不適，不舒服"的意思．故此題應(yīng)選B．意思"打亂，攪亂"．
32．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)本文內(nèi)容可知，父親背部有殘疾，但還買了農(nóng)場(chǎng)，精心耕種．收獲后，自己做燉菜．由此可以看出父親有著積極的生活態(tài)度．故此題應(yīng)選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
