Question

An old farmer lived with his little grandson. Every day the farmer got up early to read books.

One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I want to read books just like you, but I don’t understand them. What are the advantages of reading?” The grandfather said, “Take this litter basket to the river and bring me back a basket of water.” he boy did, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “ You’ll have to walk faster next time.”

This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. The boy said, “ See Grandpa, it’s useless!”

So you think it is useless?” the old man said. “Look at the basket.”

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It was clean, inside and out.

“That’s what happens when you read books. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read them, you will be changed, inside and out.”

試題分析：

1..通過(guò) the farmer got up early to read books.可知，農(nóng)民起早是為了讀書。所以本題選D。

2.我們通過(guò)閱讀可知，小孩的爺爺讓他用籃子打水，當(dāng)然水會(huì)漏出來(lái)。所以本處的laked out應(yīng)該是“漏出”的意思。所以本題選C。

3.通過(guò)閱讀全文，我們可知，A說(shuō)是為喜歡問(wèn)問(wèn)題的孩子寫的，但文中并沒有體現(xiàn)，這個(gè)孩子好問(wèn)問(wèn)題，所以A是不正確的；B說(shuō)是為喜歡玩水的孩子寫的，顯然是錯(cuò)誤的；C說(shuō)是為不喜歡農(nóng)業(yè)的孩子寫的，很明顯也是不對(duì)的；通過(guò) I don’t understand them. What are the advantages of reading?可知，D是正確的。

4.通過(guò)It was clean, inside and out.可知，經(jīng)過(guò)兩次的打水，籃子以及干凈了。所以本題選B。

5.B說(shuō)老農(nóng)與孫子開玩笑，很明顯是錯(cuò)誤的；C說(shuō)小孩最后打滿了一籃子水，通過(guò)again the basket was empty可知，是不對(duì)的；D說(shuō)老農(nóng)看到孩子拿著空籃子，很生氣，通過(guò)文章可知是錯(cuò)誤的。A說(shuō)老農(nóng)可能通過(guò)閱讀改變了，應(yīng)該是對(duì)的。所以本題選A。

考點(diǎn)：本題考查記敘文。

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文講述了一位老農(nóng)，讓孫子兩次去打水，通過(guò)打水來(lái)講述讀書好處的故事。閱讀故事時(shí)，應(yīng)該體會(huì)老農(nóng)讓孫子用籃子打水的意圖，特別是注意老農(nóng)最后的話，對(duì)文章起到畫龍點(diǎn)睛的作用。
