Question

A big, mighty(高大的) tree stood in a forest. Its branches(樹(shù)枝) spread out and its roots (根) went deep in the earth. A lot of people came here to have a rest under it. And a lot of birds stood on its branches to sing and dance. The big tree was very proud all the time.
At the foot of the tree, there was a little plant. The plant was thin, and seemed to be blown down by any of a little wind.
One day, the two neighbors were having a little chat.
“Well, little one,” said the tree to the plant, “why not put your feet deeply in the earth, and raise your head high in the air as I do?”
“I see there is no need to do so,” said the plant with a smile. “In fact, I think I may be safer in this way.”
“Safer?” said the tree. “Are you safer than I am? Do you know how deep my roots are in the earth and how strong my branches are? Who can possibly pull me out by the roots or bow my head to the ground?” And the tree didn’t want to say anything to the weak plant.
But the tree was to regret its words very soon. One evening, a great hurricane(颶風(fēng)) came. It blew the trees off their roots and almost destroyed the forest completely. It uprooted（將……連根拔起）the mighty tree and blew it away with great force.
When the storm had gone, the villagers living nearby came to check the damage. The mighty tree lay on the ground, but the little plant still stood there.

解析試題分析：
【小題1】第二段第一行At the foot of the tree, there was a little plant.，而題中問(wèn)大樹(shù)的鄰居是誰(shuí)，故選C。
【小題2】第一段 Its branches(樹(shù)枝) spread out and its roots (根) went deep in the earth. A lot of people came here to have a rest under it. And a lot of birds stood on its branches to sing and dance. The big tree was very proud all the time. 前面都是他的理由，D.All of the above.(以上全部)，故選D。
【小題3】第二段說(shuō)小草瘦弱，容易被風(fēng)吹走，和大樹(shù)的高大相比，所以他看不起小植物。故選D。
【小題4】題中 after the hurricane had gone是關(guān)鍵詞，答案在最后一段最后一行The mighty tree lay on the ground, but the little plant still stood there.只有B正確。
【小題5】什么可能是文章中最好的標(biāo)題？文章主要講一棵高傲自大的樹(shù)，故答案選B。
考點(diǎn)：讀懂大樹(shù)和小草之間的對(duì)話。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：這是一篇在大樹(shù)和小草之間的對(duì)話，大樹(shù)只看到自己的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，盲目自大，結(jié)果在颶風(fēng)過(guò)后被連根拔起，這樣的閱讀文章在完成練習(xí)之余，可以細(xì)細(xì)品鑒其中暗含的哲理。
