A rich man was once riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden. On the ground lay a young tree, ready to be planted. The rich man called out to the old man, “What kind of tree are you planting there, my good man?”

“This is a fig(無(wú)花果) tree, sir. ” He said.

“A fig tree?” the rich man was very surprised, “Why, how old are you, may I ask?”

“I am ninety years old.”

“What!” cried the rich man, “You’re ninety years old. You are planting a very young tree now and it’ll take years to give fruit. You certainly don’t hope to live long enough to get any fruit from this tree. ” The old man looked around the garden. Then he said with a smile, “Tell me, sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy? ”“Sure,” the man did not know why he asked this question.“ Then tell me this,” he said, “Who planted the fig

trees?” “Why-why? I don’t know.” “You see, sir.” went on the old man,“ Our forefathers(祖先) planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me.”

The rich man was quiet and said, “You are right,my good man. We should do some things for the people after us. Thank you very much.”  Then he rode away.

【解析】

試題分析:這篇短文講述了一個(gè)年齡90歲的老人種植無(wú)花果樹(shù),別人說(shuō)他自己肯定享受不到果子了。他說(shuō)他們小時(shí)候之所以能夠吃到無(wú)花果也是因?yàn)樽嫦葌優(yōu)樗麄兎N好了果樹(shù),所以他也要為后代做同樣的事情。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中描述“This is a fig(無(wú)花果) tree, sir. ” He said.“這是無(wú)花果樹(shù)”,他說(shuō)。從而得知他正在種植無(wú)花果樹(shù)。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中描述“I am ninety years old.”“我90歲了”,所以答:He was ninety years old.

3.判斷推理題。從文中得知,Our forefathers(祖先) planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me.”我們祖先種樹(shù)給我們享用,而我也在為后代做相同的事情。所以老人不是給自己中果樹(shù);卮餘o, he wasn’t。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文中內(nèi)容“Tell me, sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy? ”“Sure,”“告訴我,先生,你還是個(gè)小男孩的時(shí)候吃過(guò)無(wú)花果嗎?”“當(dāng)然!睆亩弥赃^(guò),故回答Yes, he did。

5.判斷推理題。這個(gè)故事講述了老人90歲了,為他的后代種植無(wú)花果樹(shù),就像他的祖先為他所做的一樣,這告訴我們We should do some good things for the people after us.我們要為后代做點(diǎn)好事情。
