Question

He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first day of July, he left for West Hill Farm. But four days later, he returned home.

"What's wrong with West Hill Farm?" his best friend, Ed, asked him. "Didn't you enjoy?"

"Country life was very good." Henry said. "But there was another problem."

"Oh, what?"

"Well," he said, "the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner."

"What's wrong with that?" Ed asked. "Fresh meat is the best."

"I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner."

"Lucky you!"

"You don't understand." Henry said. "On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner."

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】A

【4】A

【5】B

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了Henry改變往年去海邊度假而選擇去West Hill農(nóng)場(chǎng)，農(nóng)場(chǎng)發(fā)生的怪事情，結(jié)果只待了4天。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw "an advertisement in a newspaper. Spend a few weeks at West Hill Farm.” 但有一年他在報(bào)紙上看到一則廣告。在西山農(nóng)場(chǎng)待幾個(gè)星期�？芍�，他在報(bào)紙廣告上看到的。故選A。

【2】推理判斷。根據(jù)文中"Well," he said, "the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner."“好吧，”他說(shuō)，“我到那兒的第一天，一只羊死了，我們晚飯吃的是烤羊肉�！�"I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner."但第二天一頭牛死了，我們晚餐吃的是烤牛肉。On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner亨利說(shuō)第三天，一頭豬死了，我們晚飯吃了烤豬肉;On the fourth day the farmer died, and I didn't dare stay for dinner!“第四天農(nóng)夫死了，我不敢留下來(lái)吃晚飯！”可知，因?yàn)榈谒奶燹r(nóng)場(chǎng)主失蹤了，他怕吃了農(nóng)場(chǎng)主。故選C。

【3】詞句猜測(cè)。根據(jù)上文“"A different roast every day,"” Ed大聲地抱怨道，“每天都有不同的烤肉”可知這里是complaining是“抱怨”的意思。故選A。

【4】推理判斷。根據(jù)文中“"A different roast every day," Ed said loudly, complaining "and you!""Let me finish." Henry said." On the fourth day the farmer died, and I didn't dare stay for dinner!"”“每天都有不同的烤肉，”艾德大聲說(shuō)，抱怨道，“還有你！”“讓我說(shuō)完，”亨利說(shuō)，“第四天農(nóng)夫死了，我不敢留下來(lái)吃晚飯！”可知選項(xiàng)B“Ed could eat a different kind of meat every day.”是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)“"Let me finish." Henry said." On the fourth day the farmer died, and I didn't dare stay for dinner!"” “讓我說(shuō)完，”亨利說(shuō)，“第四天農(nóng)夫死了，我不敢留下來(lái)吃晚飯！”可知，選項(xiàng)C“Henry couldn't think of anything else to do, so he went to the farm.”說(shuō)法錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)文中“"This sounds a good idea," he thought. "I'll spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They'll make a change from sitting by the seaside."” “這聽(tīng)起來(lái)是個(gè)好主意，”他想我要在西山農(nóng)場(chǎng)待一個(gè)月。我想我可以喜歡騎馬、散步和釣魚(yú)。他們會(huì)改變坐在海邊的習(xí)慣�！笨芍�選項(xiàng)A“Henry thought he could enjoy a change.”是正確的。故選A。

【5】標(biāo)題歸納。What a beautiful farm!一個(gè)漂亮的農(nóng)場(chǎng)；A short holiday.一個(gè)短暫的假期；Henry and the farmer. Henry和那個(gè)農(nóng)民。通讀整篇短文可知，這篇短文主要講述Henry改變往年去海邊度假而選擇去West Hill農(nóng)場(chǎng)，農(nóng)場(chǎng)發(fā)生的怪事情，結(jié)果只待了4天�？芍�，文章最好的標(biāo)題是“一個(gè)短暫的假期”。故選B。

閱讀理解題通常從細(xì)節(jié)，文章主旨，推測(cè)詞組大意幾個(gè)方面考查學(xué)生對(duì)文章的理解，做題時(shí)注意找到文章出處，做到有理有據(jù)。例如第1題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞“find out about the farm”可知，定位至“He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw "an advertisement in a newspaper. Spend a few weeks at West Hill Farm.” 但有一年他在報(bào)紙上看到一則廣告。在西山農(nóng)場(chǎng)待幾個(gè)星期�？芍�，他在報(bào)紙廣告上看到的。故選A。
