Question

【題目】 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. _________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.第二個(gè)兒子說(shuō)沒(méi)有——它被綠葉覆蓋并充滿了希望。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 on the tree, full of life and harvest.

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 measured (測(cè)量) 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, the harvest of your fall. Don’t let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

(符合語(yǔ)境的句子都給分 )

【解析】

本文是一則故事，講述了一位父親為了讓四個(gè)兒子不草率地對(duì)事物作判斷，讓他們?nèi)ビ^察一棵梨樹(shù)，四個(gè)兒子在四個(gè)不同的季節(jié)看見(jiàn)的梨樹(shù)是不一樣的，最后父親教導(dǎo)他們看待事物要全面，要耐心觀察，不要因?yàn)槠�面的不好而否定所有�?/span>

【1】分析前后兩句，可知后一句是主句，前一句是一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，所以應(yīng)該用when引導(dǎo)，意為“當(dāng)……時(shí)”，故答案為When。

【2】the second son意為“第二個(gè)兒子”，是主語(yǔ)，said是say的一般過(guò)去時(shí)，意為“說(shuō)”；be covered with意為“被……覆蓋”，be full of意為“充滿”，green leaves意為“綠葉”，hope意為“希望”，故答案為The second son said no-it was covered with green leaves and full of hope.

【3】原句為祈使句的否定句，let…do…意為“讓……做……”，pain意為“痛苦”，是名詞；joy意為“歡樂(lè)”，是名詞；the rest意為“剩余部分”，故答案為“勿讓一時(shí)（一季）的痛苦破壞了所有的（其他季節(jié)的）歡樂(lè)”。

【4】根據(jù)“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”，可知他認(rèn)為兒子們說(shuō)得都對(duì)，但是他們只看到了樹(shù)的一個(gè)季節(jié)，故答案為He thought they were all right, but they had each seen only one season in the tree’s life.

【5】開(kāi)放性作答，言之有理即可。參考答案：Four seasons of the tree / Don’t judge a life (person, tree) by one season.
