Question

【題目】Here is a true story about a famous man who worked in the White House and a criminal. They once faced the same thing: their mother gave them apples when they were young.

The criminal said: one day, my mother brought some apples and asked my brother and me: “Which one do you want?” “The reddest and biggest one,” my little brother said. My mother stared at him and said to him angrily: “You should learn to give the good things to others; you shouldn’t always think of yourself.” Seeing this, I suddenly changed my idea and then said to my mother: “Mum, please give me the smaller one and give the bigger one to my little brother.” Hearing my words, my mother was very happy. She kissed me on my face and gave the reddest and biggest apple to me as a prize. From then on, I learned to tell lies, fight, steal and rob. In order to get what I wanted, I played hard. As a result, I was sent into prison.

The famous man from the White House said: One day, my mother brought some apples. She said to my brother and me: “You all want the reddest and biggest one, right? Well, let’s have a competition. Now I divided the grassland in front of the gate into two and I will give one to each of you and you must shear(修剪) it well. And I will give the reddest and biggest apple to him who does it the most quickly and best.”

【解析】

試題分析：這是一篇寓言故事，主要講述了一位總統(tǒng)和一個(gè)罪犯在年幼時(shí)各自如何得到蘋果的故事。罪犯為了從母親那里獲取最大最紅的蘋果，學(xué)會(huì)了撒謊，由此走上了偷盜、欺騙的人生；而總統(tǒng)的母親通過讓他和兄弟競爭的方法獲得蘋果，使他明白任何東西都是要付諸努力才能得到的。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)分析題。根據(jù)第二段這一句Hearing my words, my mother was very happy.可知罪犯的母親聽到他的話很開心，然后將大蘋果給他了，故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句No matter what you want, you must pay lots of efforts.以及文中兩個(gè)人不同的身份和人生道路可以推斷出，得到必有付出，故選B。

【3】歸納分析題。作者主要通過講述兩人小時(shí)候如何得到蘋果的故事，比較分析了兩種經(jīng)歷給他們帶來的不同后果，揭示了文章的主題，故選B。

【4】推理判斷題題。根據(jù)首段第二句They once faced the same thing: their mother gave them apples when they were young.可知文中的二人都曾面對(duì)他們的媽媽給他們蘋果的時(shí)刻，但兩位母親不同的分配方式對(duì)兩人的成長造成了截然不同的影響，由此可判斷母親的教育方式對(duì)孩子的成長有很大影響。故選C。
