Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.

One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,” he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”

They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.

The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(薊). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.

The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.

試題分析：羅馬人入侵蘇格蘭，準備偷襲在山上休息的蘇格蘭軍隊，就在最后一名羅馬士兵被薊刺中了，發(fā)出了哭聲。驚醒了蘇格蘭士兵，他們打敗了羅馬人。蘇格蘭就把薊作為國花。

【1】B 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一句Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland.可知幾百年前，羅馬人準備入侵蘇格蘭，在羅馬人和蘇格蘭之間發(fā)生了一場戰(zhàn)爭。故B正確。

【2】D 句意理解題。根據(jù)文章第第一段最后兩句They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.可知羅馬人很多，似乎羅馬人要戰(zhàn)勝蘇格蘭人了。所以在第二段里蘇格蘭人的領袖才會說“We must win or we will die.”以此鼓勵他的士兵勇猛作戰(zhàn)，否則就會被殺死。故D項正確。

【3】A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第三句Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound.羅馬人悄悄地爬上山，不發(fā)出聲音是為了不驚醒正在休息的蘇格蘭人。故A正確。

【4】D 主旨大意題。本文敘述了羅馬人入侵蘇格蘭，準備偷襲在山上休息的蘇格蘭軍隊，就在最后一名羅馬士兵被薊刺中了，發(fā)出了哭聲。驚醒了蘇格蘭士兵，他們打敗了羅馬人。蘇格蘭就把薊作為國花。故D項說法正確。
