Question

【題目】

It was one of the honest days of the dry season. There was no rain for about a month. Cows stopped giving milk. On this day I saw a wonder.

I was making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son Billy walking very slowly to the woods. Minutes later, he ran to the house. Soon after that, I saw him walking to the woods again. This went on for an hour. Finally I walked out of the house quietly and followed him.

Billy cupped（窩成杯狀）both hands in front of him as he walked, careful not to drop the water he carried. Then I saw an amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I saw a tiny baby deer lying on the ground. It was dying of thirst, and it lifted its head to drink the water in my boy's hands.

When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I followed him to the tap. Billy turned it on and let the water slowly fill up his "cup". When he stood up and turned, I was there in front of him. His eyes were filled with tears. "I'm not wasting water, Mum," he said. I joined him with a bottle of water from the kitchen. I let him walk to the baby deer alone while I stood meters away. As tears rolled down my face, they were suddenly joined by other drops… and more drops... as if the sky itself was crying.

本篇講述在一個旱季，6歲的比利背著媽媽給即將渴死的小鹿喝水，媽媽發(fā)現(xiàn)后，沒有責(zé)怪他，和他一起前往，看著他喂水給小鹿，媽媽感到得哭了，就在這時，下雨了，雨季到來了。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“It was one of the honest days of the dry season. There was no rain for about a month.”，可知“這是在旱季，天氣是又熱又干燥”；故選 A 。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“…when I saw my six-year-old son Billy walking very slowly to the woods. Minutes later, he ran to the house. Soon after that, I saw him walking to the woods again.”，可知“她看見比利一次又一次地往返樹林里和家”；故選 C 。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Billy cupped both hands in front of him as he walked,”—— 他把雙手窩成杯狀，可知“他起初是用手給小鹿喂水”；故選B 。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中描述：比利背著媽媽給小鹿喂水，媽媽發(fā)現(xiàn)后和他一起去給小鹿喂水，可知“媽媽欣賞兒子的行為”，由此推斷“媽媽覺得兒子是樂于助人的”；故選 D。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“As tears rolled down my face, they were suddenly joined by other drops… and more drops... as if the sky itself was crying.”，可知“當(dāng)媽媽被兒子的行為感動到落淚時，突然感到有另外的水滴滴在臉上”，由此推斷“旱季結(jié)束雨季來了”；故選B。

本篇閱讀單選考查細節(jié)理解和推理判斷。題4根據(jù)“媽媽發(fā)現(xiàn)后和兒子一起去給小鹿喂水的行為”，推斷媽媽覺得兒子是“helpful”；題5要根據(jù)文本的表層描述“媽媽被兒子的行為感動流淚時，淚水被其他的水滴……更多的水滴連接在一起”，推斷“雨季來臨”。
