Question

【題目】 One day, two little boys were walking along the road. They overtook a woman carrying a large basket of apples.

The boys thought the woman looked very ________ and tired, so they said, “Are you going to town? If you are, we will carry your ________.”

“Thank you,” replied the woman, “You are very kind. You see I am weak and ill.” Then she told them that she was a widow (寡婦), and had a lame (跛足的) son to raise.

She lived in a cottage three miles away, and was now going to the market to ________ the apples which grew ________ the only tree in her garden. She wanted the money to ________ her rent.

“We are going the ________ way you are,” said the boys. “Let us have the basket” And they took hold of it, one on each side, and trudged (艱難地走) along with ________ hearts.

The poor widow looked glad, and said that she hoped their mother would not be ________ with them. “Oh, no,” they replied, “Our mother has ________ us to be kind to everybody, and to be useful in any way that we can.”

She then offered to give them a few of the ripest apples for their ________. “No thank you,” said they, “We do not want any pay for want we have done.”

Upon arriving at home, she told her lame ________ what had happened on the road, and they were both made happier that day by the ________ of the two boys.

The other day, I saw a little girl stop and ________ a piece of orange peel (果皮), which she threw into the gutter. “I wish the boys would not throw orange peel on the sidewalk,” said she. “Someone may be on it, and ________.”

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，文章主要介紹了兩個(gè)小男孩幫助一個(gè)貧苦女人提果籃的小事，以及作者看到一個(gè)小女孩把果皮丟進(jìn)垃圾桶的小事，告訴我們：勿以善小而不為，不要總想著做大事的機(jī)會(huì)，我們要從有愛的小事開始做起。

【1】句意：兩個(gè)小男孩覺得那個(gè)女人看起來非常蒼白而且疲累。

nice友好的，令人愉快的；ugly丑的；pale蒼白的；healthy健康的。由下文“You see I am weak and ill”可知，那個(gè)女人虛弱而且病了，所以臉色蒼白。故選C。

【2】句意：如果是的話，我們能幫你拿籃子。

backpack背包；basket籃子；suitcase行李箱，手提箱；packet小包裹。由上文“a woman carrying a large basket of apples”可知，女人提的是籃子。故選B。

【3】句意：她現(xiàn)在想要去市場(chǎng)賣蘋果。

buy買；borrow借；sell賣；keep保存。由“a woman carrying a large basket of apples”可知，女人提著一大籃子蘋果去市場(chǎng)，目的是去賣蘋果。故選C。

【4】句意：那蘋果是花園里唯一的一棵樹上長(zhǎng)的。

in在……里面；on在……上；above在……上面；over在……上面，懸在……上方。形容長(zhǎng)在樹上的東西一般用介詞on。故選B。

【5】句意：她想要用這些錢來交房租。

cost花費(fèi)；take攜帶，拿走；spend花費(fèi)；pay 支付。由句意可知女人去鎮(zhèn)上賣蘋果，賺來的錢用來交房租。故選D。

【6】句意：“我們同路。”男孩們說。

wrong 錯(cuò)誤的；correct正確的；same相同的；different不同的。由“Let us have the basket” And they took hold of it”可知，正因?yàn)槟泻�們和女人同路，所以幫助女人提籃子，一起到鎮(zhèn)上。故選C。

【7】句意：（男孩們）步伐艱難，但內(nèi)心卻十分輕快。

heavy沉重的；light明亮的，輕快的；broken破碎的；cold冷的。由整個(gè)故事可知，男孩們?yōu)閹椭�他人而感到開心，因此心里感到輕松愉快。故選B。

【8】句意：女人說她希望他們的媽媽不會(huì)對(duì)他們發(fā)火。

happy高興；satisfied滿足；friendly有好的；angry生氣，發(fā)怒。由下文“be kind to everybody, and to be useful”可知，媽媽希望他們倆待人友善，成為對(duì)他人有用的人，因此媽媽不會(huì)生氣的。故選D。

【9】句意：“哦，不，”男孩們說，“我們的媽媽教我們待人友善，盡我們所能讓自己變得有用。”

taught教；made做；warned警告；forced強(qiáng)迫。從男孩主動(dòng)幫助女人的態(tài)度來看，男孩們從心底里樂意幫助他人，他們的媽媽教會(huì)他們這樣做。故選A。

【10】句意：之后，她因?yàn)槁闊┝四泻�們所以給他們一些最熟的蘋果。

challenge挑戰(zhàn)；trouble麻煩；courage鼓勵(lì)；travel旅行。由故事可知，男孩們本來可以直接去鎮(zhèn)上，但是在途中幫助了她，幫她拎沉重的籃子，她覺得麻煩了人家，給他們蘋果作為報(bào)答。故選B。

【11】句意：女人到家之后，告訴跛腳兒子今天路上發(fā)生的事。

daughter女兒；husband丈夫；brother兄弟；son兒子。由上文“had a lame (跛足的) son to raise.”可知，女人有一個(gè)跛腳的兒子。故選D。

【12】句意：因?yàn)閮蓚�(gè)善良的男孩，他們那一天比平常更開心。

kindness善良；promise承諾；protection保護(hù)，防衛(wèi)；honesty誠實(shí)。根據(jù)“be kind to everybody, …”以及“We do not want any pay for want we have done.”可知，男孩們幫助他人不計(jì)回報(bào)，品格善良。故選A。

【13】句意：有一天我看到一個(gè)小女孩停下來撿起橘子皮丟到垃圾箱里。

turn up出現(xiàn)；come up提及；pick up撿起；put up張貼。由句意可知，橘子皮原先是在地上的，是被撿起然后丟到垃圾箱里的。故選C。

【14】句意：有些人可能踩到了就會(huì)滑倒。

fall off脫落，掉落；fall down跌倒，摔跤；fall into陷入；fall on撲向，抓住。橘子皮比較滑，丟在地上其他人踩在上面有可能會(huì)摔倒。故選B。

【15】句意：可能有些人會(huì)說這些都是一些小事。

little小的；great偉大的；important重要的；difficult難的。幫他人拎果籃，彎腰撿一次果皮，這些都是微不足道的小事。故選A。
