Question

5．Velan，a carpenter（木匠），was living in a village with his aged father，Kuppan．His mother died a long time back．Velan was a bad man．His father was very weak．It was because Velan did not give him enough food．He had given his father a small plate．Even a little rice in the plate appeared to be much．
    Velan had a son，named Muthu，who was just ten years old．He was a very good boy，loving and respecting his grandfather．He did not like his father's attitude and character，because his father was treating his grandfather cruelly．
    One day Kuppan was eating his food out of plate that his son had given to him．The plate fell down and broke into pieces．The food also fell on the floor．Velan was working at the other end of the room．He was very angry with his father and used very bad words to abuse（辱罵） his father．The old man felt bad about what happened．He was sorry for his mistake．Velan's words hurt him very deeply．
    Velan's son，Muthu，who was a smart boy，saw this．His father was ill-treating his grandfather．He was afraid to speak against his father．He was sad about his grandfather．But he was not powerful to stand in support of his grandfather．What could he do？
    The next day Muthu took some of his father's carpentry tools and a piece of wood．He worked with the tools to make a wooden plate．His father saw him working．
"What are you making，Muthu？"he asked．
"I am making a wooden plate!"replied Muthu．
"A wooden plate!What for？"asked his father．
"I am making it for you，father．When you grow old，like my grandfather，you will need a plate for food．I want to give you a wooden plate．It may not break so easily．"Hearing this，Velan was shocked and now he realized his mistake．He was very sad about his own behavior and then became a different person．

71．Why was the father so weak？（ no more than 8words）Because Velan did not give him enoughfood．
72．How did Velan treat his father in the past？（ no more than 5words）He treated his father cruelly/badly．

Answer 1

分析 本文講述了一個聰明的兒子通過一件事來教訓(xùn)他的爸爸要尊重老人的事．

解答 71．Because Velan did not give him enough food．
72．He treated his father cruelly/badly．
73．Working at the other end of the room．
74．Because he was not powerful enough．
75．To persuade/remind his father to treat the grandfather well．/He wanted his father to treat his grandfather well．
71．Because Velan did not give him enough food．細(xì)節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)第一段中John was so weak because Tom didn't give him enough food．可知John身體很虛弱，因為Tom不給他足夠的飯吃．
72．He treated his father cruelly/badly．細(xì)節(jié)題． 根據(jù)文章第二 段his father was treating his grandfather cruelly．可知Velan對待他的父親非常粗魯．
73．Working at the other end of the room．細(xì)節(jié)題． 根據(jù)文章第三 段Velan was working at the other end of the room． 可知當(dāng)盤子掉到地上的時候，Velan正在房子的另外一端工作．
74．Because he was not powerful enough．細(xì)節(jié)題． 根據(jù)文章第四 段 But he was not powerful to stand in support of his grandfather．可知由于不夠強壯，他不能站出來支持他的爺爺．
75．To persuade/remind his father to treat the grandfather well．/He wanted his father to treat his grandfather well． 推理判斷題      根據(jù)最后一段The carpenter was shocked to hear this．He realized his mistake．He then became a different person．木匠聽到兒子的這一番話感到很震驚．他意識到自己的錯誤．后來他變成了一個完全不一樣的人．可知Michael做木碗給爸爸，是想改變爸爸，讓爸爸意識到要善待自己的父親．故選A
