Question

 

An old man lived with his family. The family would eat together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon, dropping to the floor. When he grasped his glass of milk, it often spilled clumsily(笨拙地) at the tablecloth.

With this happening almost every night, the son and daughter-in-law became annoyed with the mess.

“We must do something about grandfather,” said the son.

“I’ve had enough of his milk spilling, noisy eating and food on the floor,” the daughter-in-law agreed.

So the couple set a small table at the corner.

There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed their dinner at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in wooden bowls. Sometimes when the family looked in grandfather’s direction, he had tears in his eyes as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp warnings when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence.

One evening, before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood pieces on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy replied, “Oh, I’m making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

These words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears streamed down their cheeks. Though no words were spoken, both knew what must be done.

試題分析：本文敘述了一位風(fēng)燭殘年的老人因?yàn)槌燥埧偸菐�來很多麻煩，讓兒子和兒媳很反感，所以他們在角落里單�?dú)給老人擺了張桌子。后來老人吃飯時打壞了餐具，他們就給了他一個木碗吃飯。當(dāng)老人把叉子掉到地上或撒飯的時候，那夫妻倆也總是尖刻地警告，老人很傷心。四歲的孫子默默地看著所發(fā)生的一切。有一天父親發(fā)現(xiàn)了孩子在為他們夫妻倆做一個木碗，而且說長大后要讓他們也用木碗吃飯。他們突然醒悟了。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult.”可知爺爺吃飯很困難是因?yàn)樗�年老體弱，故選B。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段“Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in wooden bowls.”可知夫妻倆給老人用木碗盛飯是為了防止他再打破盤子。故選.C。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后兩段，兒子說長大后要讓他們也用木碗吃飯。聽到這話他們無語了，可見他們突然意識到自己對待老人的方式，對孩子產(chǎn)生了不好的影響，可以推斷出他們以后會善待老人。所以他們會讓老人再和他們一起吃飯的。故選C。
