Question

Harry is eighteen now. He studies in a middle school. His parents like him very much and hope he can become a famous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him. They call him at six in the morning. After breakfast his father takes him to school in a car and in the afternoon, as soon as the young man comes back, the supper is ready. Of course, he never washes his clothes or goes to buy something in  the shops.

Once Harry’s father was sent to London on business. He would stay there for half a year. Before leaving, he told his wife to take good care of their son. The woman had to get up earlier and did all that her husband did before. And two months later she was so tired that she was ill in bed. Now the young man got into trouble. He couldn’t do any housework. He had to do as his mother told him. Even he didn’t know where to get on the bus!

Yesterday Harry’s mother found his shoes were  worn out and told him to buy a new pair in the shop. But he didn’t know how to choose. The woman had a sigh(嘆息) and gave him a shoe pattern(鞋樣) and told him to buy a pair of shoes himself. It’s Saturday today and Harry doesn’t go to school. With a policeman’s help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper was friendly to him. The man brought a lot of shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on a pair, suddenly he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “What’s the matter, young man?”

“I’m sorry. I’ve left the shoe pattern at home!”

【解析】

試題分析：文章講述了一個(gè)類似鄭人買履的故事。Harry的父母望子成龍，只讓他學(xué)習(xí)，其余事情一概大包大攬。但是當(dāng)他父親因事外出，而母親勞累病倒的時(shí)候，Harry 甚至連車站都找不到，母親給他鞋樣讓他照著去買鞋子，但是當(dāng)他試好之后，卻因?yàn)闆](méi)帶鞋樣而打算放棄買鞋。

1.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章第二段The woman had to get up earlier and did all that her husband did before可知Harry的父親在家常做家務(wù)活，所以A選項(xiàng)正確。

2.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段hope he can become a famous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him.可知D選項(xiàng)正確。

3.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段Even he didn’t know where to get on the bus可知沒(méi)有父母的幫助他連車站都找不到，所以B選項(xiàng)正確。

4.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段Harry所做的和所說(shuō)的he remembered something and took them off.和“I’m sorry. I’ve left the shoe pattern at home!”可以推斷B選項(xiàng)正確。
