Question

【題目】Mr. Baker lived in an old and low house. His wife was blind in both eyes and the two children were very young. All his family often went hungry(挨餓). He had nothing but a small piece of field. One autumn he grew some wheat in his field. He hoped it would do well because all family would depend on it. The whole winter it often snowed. And the next spring the wheat was doing well. Mr. Baker was happy. One day Mr. Baker went to watch his wheat. To his surprise, a lot of crops were eaten up by a horse. He became angry but could not find out whose horse had eaten them. He thought the horse would go there again. So he decided to stay in his field and tried to catch the horse.

A few days later a yellow horse came in his field again and began to eat the wheat. Mr. Baker ran after it quickly, with a stick in his hand. But the beast ran much faster than he. He tried his best, but could not catch up with it. The next morning, when Mr. Baker was working in his field, he saw the yellow horse pulling carriage on the road. He picked up a stick at once, ran closer to the horse and began to beat it up.

試題分析: 本文講述了貝克先生打馬的故事。他家里很困難，全家的生活就指望貝克先生種的麥子。一天他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的麥子被一匹黃色的馬吃了，很生氣，想追它又沒有追上。第二天再次遇到黃馬時(shí)，不顧馬主人的阻攔，貝克先生狠狠地打了那匹馬。

【1】A考查細(xì)節(jié)題 根據(jù)第一段中“One autumn he grew some wheat in his field.”一年秋天他在地里種了一些小麥，可知他是農(nóng)民，故選A

【2】C 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“And the next spring the wheat was doing well. Mr. Baker was happy.”下一年春天小麥長勢(shì)很好。貝克先生很高興，故選C項(xiàng)。

【3】D 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“ He picked up a stick at once, ran closer to the horse and began to beat it up.”他撿起一根棍子,接近馬,開始打它，故選D項(xiàng)。

【4】D 考查推理判斷題 根據(jù)常識(shí)可知馬是動(dòng)物，它并不知道它是否做錯(cuò)或是吃的是誰家麥子，故排除A、C。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“Why are you beating my horse?”你為什么打我的馬，可知這是馬主人，故選D項(xiàng)。
