Question

A man had two large pots. One of the pots had a crack in it, so while the other pot always delivered (運(yùn)送) a full pot of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to his house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. This went on every day for years.

One day a neighbor asked the man, “One of your pots has been broken for years. It can only deliver half its load, so you don’t get full value from your efforts. Why don’t you buy a new one?”

The man smiled and said, “Please follow me to my house, and you may see some beautiful flowers.” On the way to the man’s house, the neighbor took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path.

The man said to the neighbor, “Did you notice that there were flowers only on one side of the path, but not on the other side? That’s because I have always known about the flaw (缺陷) of my pot. I planted flower seeds on one side of the path. Every day when I walk back from the stream, the broken pot waters them. For years, I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate (裝飾) my house. Without the broken pot, I would not have this beauty.”

【解析】

試題分析: 試題分析: 本文為記敘文，文章講述了一個(gè)人有兩個(gè)罐子，其中一個(gè)罐子有了裂縫，雖然每次只能盛一半的水，但卻可以澆灌路邊的花。所以，有時(shí)不完美會(huì)使人生更有意義。

1.

2. 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章第四自然段 Every day when I walked back from the stream,thhe broken pot waters them,可以看出選B。

3. 推理判斷題。從上下文，尤其最后一個(gè)自然段我們可以看出，“人盡其才，物盡其用”的道理。
