Question

【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare (兔子) and the tortoise (烏龜). At the end I said, “Son, remember: Be slow and steady (鎮(zhèn)定的), and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”

Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”

I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”

“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”

“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (堅(jiān)忍不拔), by pushing on steadily.”

Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”

I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.

試題分析：

【1】推斷題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容可知，作者講龜兔賽跑的故事是為了教育兒子要學(xué)會(huì)堅(jiān)韌和鎮(zhèn)定，但兒子并不同意作者的觀點(diǎn)，故吵起來(lái)，答案選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)題。由倒數(shù)第二段第三句“He won it because he was lucky.” 可知，Sonny 堅(jiān)信烏龜是因?yàn)樾疫\(yùn)才贏得比賽的，故正確答案為A。

【3】推斷題。根據(jù)第二段兒子說(shuō)的話“Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”可以推斷，Billy, Tony 和 Sandy和兒子一起參加過(guò)60米比賽。故選B。

【4】推斷題。由文章內(nèi)容可知，作者認(rèn)為烏龜?shù)膱?jiān)韌導(dǎo)致了勝利，而兒子 Sonny 認(rèn)為烏龜勝利是由于一時(shí)的幸運(yùn)，作者沒(méi)有辦法反駁兒子的觀點(diǎn)，最后 “I gave up.”，可見(jiàn)作者了解到“這個(gè)時(shí)代的孩子和他們那個(gè)時(shí)代的孩子完全不同”這個(gè)道理，故正確答案為C。
