Question

A young father was visiting an old neighbor. They were standing in the old man's garden，and talking about children. The young man said，“How strict should parents be with their children？”

The old man pointed to a string（繩子）between a big strong tree and a thin young one．“Please untie（解開(kāi)）that string，” he said．The young man untied it，and the young tree bent（彎）over to one side． “Now tie it again，please，” said the old man，“but first pull the string tight so that the young tree is straight again．”

The young man did so．Then the old man said，“There，it is the same with children．You must be strict with them，but sometimes you must untie the string to know how they are getting on． If they are not yet able to stand alone，you must tie the string tight again．But when you find that they are ready to stand alone，you can take the string away．”

試題分析：本文以大樹(shù)和小樹(shù)來(lái)比方家長(zhǎng)和孩子，如何教育孩子，就像短文中所說(shuō)的，在大樹(shù)和小樹(shù)兩棵樹(shù)中間系一根繩子，用這根繩子去幫助小樹(shù)長(zhǎng)的直立，不斷松開(kāi)繩子來(lái)看一下小樹(shù)是否能長(zhǎng)直立，如果可以不用繩子了就可以把它去掉了，這就好比家長(zhǎng)管教孩子一樣的道理。

1.主旨大意題。根據(jù)整篇文章的內(nèi)容及How strict should parents be with their children？，故選B。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)the young tree bent（彎）over to one side 故選C。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)If they are not yet able to stand alone，you must tie the string tight again．But when you find that they are ready to stand alone，you can take the string away．故選D。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)整篇課文的內(nèi)容可知那棵大樹(shù)相當(dāng)于家長(zhǎng)，小樹(shù)相當(dāng)于小孩，故選B。

考點(diǎn)：人生百味類短文閱讀。

點(diǎn)評(píng)：主旨大意題的難度較大，此類題目一般不易直接找到答案，最簡(jiǎn)單的方法是仔細(xì)研究文章開(kāi)頭的一二句，因?yàn)樗麄兂Ｊ俏恼碌闹黝}句，然后，快速瀏覽文章首句和結(jié)尾句。如果第一句的主題不明，可注意結(jié)尾是否有概括總結(jié)，對(duì)選項(xiàng)要注意全面性和概括性。
