Question

【題目】D.Answer the questions （根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答問題）

“Oh boys, don’t throw stones at the poor bird,” said an old grey-headed man, “Sir,” said a little fellow, “she makes such a loud noise that we can’t suffer from her.” “Yes, but she uses the voice which nature gave her, and I am afraid the stone will rebound（彈回）, and hurt you as long as you live!” “Rebound! We don’t understand you, sir!” “Well, come and I will tell you a story.”

“Fifty years ago, I was a boy like you. I used to throw stones until I became very accurate. One day I went to work for an old couple. They were very kind to everybody and everything. Few had so many birds making their nests under the roofs of their houses. The birds seemed to love the couple. For seven years a bird had come, after the long winter was over, and built her nest in the same place, and raised her young chicks there. She and her mate had just returned when I went there to work, and the couple welcomed them heartily. The bird hopped hopped about as if glad to be back. During the day, I thought I would try my skill upon her. She sat on a pole and looked at me trustfully. I found a nice stone, and I threw it with my utmost skill. It struck the bird on the head and she droped dead!”

“I was sorry when I saw her fall. But the deed was done. I said nothing to the old couple about it. But one of their grandchildren told them what I had done. Though the couple never said a word to me, I knew that they were deeply saddened by my cruelty. I could never look at them in the face afterwards. Oh, that I should have told them how sorry I was!”

“They have been dead many years, and so has the poor bird; but don’t you see how that stone rebounded, and hit me? How much the memory of it has hurt me! My dear boys, I would pay a great deal today if I could release from my present feeling! For fifty years I have remembered it. I have never spoken of it before; but if what my words will prevent you from throwing a stone that may rebound, I will be happy.”

【解析】

文章大意：本文講述了一位老人給孩子們講述了自己小時候曾經(jīng)用石頭打死鳥，自己的內(nèi)心懊悔的經(jīng)歷，以此來勸誡孩子們不要傷害無辜的鳥兒，否則“石頭會反彈”，自己也會受到傷害。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題意：當(dāng)他還是個孩子的時候，他得到了什么技能?
根據(jù)Fifty years ago, I was a boy like you. I used to throw stones until I became very accurate.五十年前，我也是一個像你一樣的男孩。我過去常常扔石頭，直到我變得非常準(zhǔn)確�？芍�他能準(zhǔn)確地投擲石頭，故答案為He could throw stones accurately.

【2】推理判斷題。題意：我們怎么知道這只鳥很高興再次見到這對夫婦呢?
For seven years a bird had come, after the long winter was over, and built her nest in the same place, and raised her young chicks there.在漫長的冬天過去之后，有一只鳥飛了七年，在同一個地方筑起了巢，并在那里養(yǎng)育著她的小雛鳥。鳥兒在這對夫婦的屋檐下住了七年，由此可以推知鳥兒是很高興再次見到這對夫婦的，故答案為For seven years, she came back and built her nest under the roof of their houses.

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題意：為什么作者后來就不能正視這對夫婦呢?
根據(jù)Though the couple never said a word to me, I knew that they were deeply saddened by my cruelty. I could never look at them in the face afterwards. 雖然這對夫婦從未對我說過一句話，但我知道他們對我的殘忍感到深深的悲哀。后來我再也不敢正視他們了。可知作者后來不能正視這對夫婦是因?yàn)樗�知道這對夫婦對他的殘忍感到非常難過，他非常抱歉。 故答案為Because he knew that the couple were deeply saddened by his cruelty and he was very sorry.

【4】推理判斷題。題意：根據(jù)作者所說，如果這個男孩向那只鳥扔石頭，他會受到什么傷害?

根據(jù)They have been dead many years, and so has the poor bird; but don’t you see how that stone rebounded, and hit me? How much the memory of it has hurt me!他們已經(jīng)死了許多年了，這只可憐的鳥兒也死了許多年了。但你沒看到那塊石頭是怎么反彈回來砸到我的嗎?想起這件事，我是多么痛苦啊!可知作者對自己殺死一只鳥的記憶感到很痛苦，故答案為The memory of killing a bird.

【5】理解歸納題。題意：作者為什么把他的故事告訴這個男孩?
根據(jù)I have never spoken of it before; but if what my words will prevent you from throwing a stone that may rebound, I will be happy.我以前從來沒有提起過它;但如果我的話能阻止你扔出一塊會反彈的石頭，我就很高興了。可知老人把他的故事告訴男孩是因?yàn)樗�想阻止男孩去傷害鳥兒，同時也避免男孩以后后悔遺憾。故答案為He wanted to stop the boy from hurting the bird and avoid the boy's regret later.

【6】開放性試題。題意：聽了作者的話，男孩可能會做什么?
通讀全文可知，本文是一位老人用自己曾經(jīng)用石頭打死鳥的故事，勸誡孩子們不要傷害無辜的鳥兒，避免后悔遺憾。由此可以推知，男孩聽了老人的話，可能會扔掉石頭，不再傷害鳥兒，而且還可能會感謝老人及時阻止自己傷害鳥兒，避免了以后自己后悔。故答案可以為The boy may throw away the stone and may also thank the old man.（本題為開放性試題，考生可以根據(jù)自己的理解來解答，只要表述合理，符合邏輯關(guān)系即可。）
