Question

【題目】閱讀短文，根據(jù)題目要求完成各小題。

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no; it was covered with green leaves, and full of hope. The third son disagreed. He said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them, he said there was lots of fruit in the tree, full of life and harvest（收獲）.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, but they had each seen only one season in the tree’s life. He told them “You cannot judge a tree, or a person by only one season and its true nature —the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be judged at the end, when all the seasons are up.”

If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, harvest of your fall. Don’t let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

【解析】

文章大意：從前有一個人，他有四個兒子。他希望兒子們能學會不急于對事物下結論，于是依次派四個兒子出去，讓他們去遠方看一棵梨樹。

就這樣，大兒子冬天前往，二兒子春天啟程，三兒子夏天出發(fā)，而小兒子則是在秋天動身的。

等兒子們都去過回來之后，這位父親把他們叫到一起，讓他們描述各自的所見。大兒子說梨樹很難看。二兒子卻說并非如此，相反，梨樹綠芽初發(fā)，生機勃勃。三兒子不同意他們的看法，他說那顆梨樹花苞滿樹、芬芳撲鼻、賞心悅目，是他見過的最美麗的事物。小兒子的意見跟他們都不一樣，他說那棵樹果實累累，成熟在望，充滿了生機和收獲。

這位父親說他們答得都對，但是他們都只看到了梨樹生命中的一個季節(jié)。他告訴他們：不應僅憑一個季節(jié)來判斷一棵樹，一個人；最后，到所有的季節(jié)都已過去時，才能衡量一個人的本質，以及他生命中的快樂、喜悅和愛。

如果你在寒冬時放棄，你將失去春之希望，夏之燦爛，秋之收獲．所以，不要讓一時的痛苦毀棄你所有其他的快樂．

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns. 可知，這個男人想讓兒子們學會不要對事情太快的下結論，所以他讓兒子們輪流去看一棵梨樹。故答案為：Because he wanted his sons to learn not to judge things loo quickly.

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no…The third son disagreed. …The last son disagreed with all of them,... 可知，四個兒子們的答案不一樣。所以本句應做否定回答，故答案為：No, they didn’t.

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, but they had each seen only one season in the tree’s life.可知，這位父親同意他的兒子們的看法，但是他認為他們都只看到（解釋）了梨樹生命中的一個季節(jié)，故答案為：He thought they were all right, but they had seen only one season in the tree’s life. / He thought each of his sons had just explained one season of the tree.

【4】翻譯題。要求把句子Don’t let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.翻譯成漢語。根據(jù)題干可知本句為否定祈使句，Don't let “不要讓…”；let sb.do sth.“讓某人做某事”；the pain of one season “一季的痛苦”；kill理解為“破壞”；joy“歡樂”；of all the rest這里理解為“剩下的三季（其它的季節(jié)）”。故答案為：勿為一時（一季）的痛苦而破壞了所有的（其它季節(jié)的）歡樂。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文中的句子The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, but they had each seen only one season in the tree’s life. He told them “You cannot judge a tree, or a person by only one season and its true nature….”可知，這位父親說他們回答得都對，但是他們都只看到了這棵樹生命中的一個季節(jié)；他告訴他們不應僅憑一個季節(jié)來判斷一棵樹、一個人。所以文章的題目應是：“不要只憑一季來判斷生命/人/樹”。故答案為：Don't judge a life/ person/tree by one season.
