Question

【題目】

There is an old tree on a dry land. The tree has so many branches（樹枝）that it brings shadow (樹蔭) to hundreds of travelers.

One day, two travelers got to the tree. They walked for a long time in the hot sun. They were too hot and tried to find a place to rest. Luckily, they found the big tree.

They made a decision to take a rest under the tree. They slept there for a while. When they woke up, they felt hungry and one traveler climbed up the tree. But he was sad to see nothing.

He started to say bad words to the tree. "Oh, this is just a useless tree without any fruit on it!" The other traveler said nothing about the tree but asked his friend to be quiet. However, the traveler in the tree still shouted at the tree.

The tree couldn't stand the traveler at last. He said in a sad yet strong voice," You can't be so ungrateful（忘恩負義的）to me, Just look back to the moment when you got here in the hot sun! I gave you a cool and comfortable place to rest. You would die now without me!"

Many people do much for us, but we sometimes forget to give thanks but only complain（抱怨）! Make sure not to say any bad words to the one who has helped you.

【解析】

本文作者通過兩個旅行者和一棵大樹的故事告訴我們：要學會感恩。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第二段I gave you a cool and comfortable place to rest. You would die now without me可知，大樹給這兩位旅行者帶來了涼爽。故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。由第三段When they woke up, they felt hungry and one traveler climbed up the tree. But he was sad to see nothing.可知，兩個旅行者睡醒后覺得有些餓，于是其中一個旅行者爬到大樹上看看有沒有吃的，結果樹上沒有能吃的東西，所以他感到很難過。故選D。

【3】詞意猜測題。由劃線詞前面的一句The tree couldn't stand the traveler at last.可知這里的he指代的是這棵樹。故選B。

【4】篇章結構題。通讀全文可知，題干的正確順序為：旅行者到達這棵樹下—他們在大樹下休息—一位旅行者爬上樹—他沒有找到水果可以吃。故選C。

排列順序題要求考生根據(jù)動作發(fā)生的先后順序和句子之間的關系，找出事件發(fā)生的先后順序。解答這類題時，可采用“首位定位法”，即先找出第一個動作和最后一個動作，迅速縮小選擇范圍，從而選出正確答案。本篇第四小題就可以用這種方法解答。
