A.theboyregardedhimselfasthetree B.theboyhadlittleconfide
53、ncetowinthegift C.theboywasjealousofhissiblings’health D.theboytendedtosuicide 答案 A 解析 推理判斷題。從表面上看男孩希望自己栽的樹苗早日死去,這只是因?yàn)樗鼙^。但從文章最后兩段可知,作者想要表達(dá)的是男孩把自己看成了那棵樹。故選項(xiàng)A符合題意。 6.Whichofthefollowingwouldbethebesttitleforthepassage? A.TheKeytoSuccess B.Father’sDeepLove C.TheBestNourishmentofLife D.ATower
54、ingTree 答案 C 解析 標(biāo)題歸納題。父親表面上讓孩子們每人種一棵樹以贏得禮物,卻一直在為小男孩栽種的樹苗偷偷地施肥,實(shí)際上是為了讓小男孩變得自信樂觀,正是父親的愛鼓舞了男孩,男孩最終成為美國總統(tǒng)。由此可知,愛是生命最好的養(yǎng)料,所以用TheBestNourishmentofLife是貼切主題的。故選項(xiàng)C符合題意。 3 話題:求職 難度:★★★ 建議用時(shí):8分鐘 Astay-at-homemomfor26years,Atlanta-bornKCjustturned50andseeksajob.“I’mnotjustlookingforsomethingtodo,”
