Question

A woman repeated a bit of gossip (流言) about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole neighborhood knew the story. The neighbor was deeply hurt. Later the woman learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.

“Go to the market,” he said, “and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pick its feathers(毛) and drop them one by one along the road.” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.

The next day the wise man said, “Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.”

The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After looking for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.

“You see,” said the old man, “it’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesn’t take much to spread（散布） a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo（彌補(bǔ)） the wrong.”

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章講述了一個(gè)女人向很多人散播了她鄰居的謠言使鄰居深受傷害，幾天之后，她發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)謠言不是真的，所以她感到很抱歉想彌補(bǔ)她犯下的錯(cuò)。但是，通過(guò)鄰居讓她做的事情，她知道了散播謠言很容易，一旦做了之后，就永遠(yuǎn)不可能完全彌補(bǔ)錯(cuò)誤了。

1.細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段大意：這個(gè)女人散播了很多關(guān)于鄰居的謠言，使鄰居受到很深的傷害，后來(lái)他知道了他散播的那個(gè)事情完全不是真的，所以他感到很抱歉。故選B

2.推斷題。A. surprised驚訝  B. excited 興奮  C. upset心煩   D. pleased高興根據(jù)第四段she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away.這個(gè)女人發(fā)現(xiàn)所有的羽毛都已經(jīng)被風(fēng)吹走了，可推斷出，她的感受肯定是不好的。結(jié)合題目，可知upset符合文章。A,B,D選項(xiàng)都不符合。故選C

3.細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)第一段The neighbor was deeply hurt.鄰居被深深的傷害了。故A錯(cuò)誤。文章沒(méi)有提到這個(gè)明智的男人不夠和善。故B錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)第四段After looking for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.尋找了幾個(gè)小時(shí)之后，她只找到了3支羽毛。故C錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)文章中鄰居讓這個(gè)女人的做的事情，她知道了散播謠言容易，一旦做了，想要彌補(bǔ)犯下的錯(cuò)誤則很難。故選D

4.推斷題。根據(jù)最后一段It doesn’t take much to spread a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong.”這個(gè)明智的男人說(shuō)散播謠言不需要花費(fèi)太多，但是一旦做了，你永遠(yuǎn)不可能完全彌補(bǔ)犯下的錯(cuò)。這句話在漢語(yǔ)里有個(gè)成語(yǔ)是“覆水難收”。故選A

考點(diǎn)：人生百味類記敘文

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本片文章結(jié)構(gòu)不難，文章中有一定的生詞，首先花幾分鐘進(jìn)行整體的閱讀，弄清楚時(shí)間，人物及情節(jié)。理解最后老人說(shuō)話的意思是理解整個(gè)文章中心的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)，對(duì)應(yīng)這類題目要結(jié)合題目中的選項(xiàng)來(lái)幫忙理解全文，耐心作答。
