【解析】

試題分析：短文大意：孟子小時喪父。有一次放學(xué)回家看見母親在織布，布很貴也很漂亮。母親問孟子今天在學(xué)校學(xué)到了什么，孟子告訴她自己沒有讀書，而是和伙伴去田野里玩。孟子的母親一下子剪掉了織好的布，孟子問母親為什么剪掉那么好的布，母親告訴他，你浪費了時間，現(xiàn)在我也浪費掉了，現(xiàn)在看看我們做了多么糟糕的事情。孟子于是從中學(xué)到了很多東西。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。我們知道，孔子是2000多年前的一名先哲，孟子和孔子的年代相差不遠(yuǎn)，同是儒家學(xué)派的人物，這樣就不難判斷該選B。

【2】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。當(dāng)母親剪掉布時孟子在做什么?當(dāng)然是很驚奇地看著了。所以選D。

【3】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。聯(lián)系最后一句孟子從中學(xué)到了很多，我們可以知道孟母剪掉布匹，是為了給他兒子上一節(jié)特殊的課，讓他從中感悟。所以選B。

【4】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章已經(jīng)交代，孟子早年喪父，家里只有母親一個勞動力，所以家里很窮。因此選A。

【5】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。母親知道孟子在田野玩沒讀書，心情當(dāng)然是生氣。所以選B。
