Question

【题目】It was nearly dark, the sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes.

“What’s the matter, Tom? How’s your trip?” his mother asked with a big smile. “I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way, I still go ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back.” Tom cried. “It doesn’t matter, you are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance.” his mother said. “But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!” Tom said. His father came over and asked, “Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?” “Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road.” Tom replied. “Did you hear the birds singing?” his father asked. “There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet.” Tom said. “Did you feel the beauty of nature?” his father asked. “Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture.” Tom answered. “That’s enough!” his father smiled and said, “Please remember, son. For often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn’t reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way.”

It is true that not every goal will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery (风景) is on the way.

【解析】试题分析：天黑了，太阳下山了，小汤姆回来了，眼睛里满是泪水。他告诉妈妈，他的梦想是登上山顶，但是天黑了，他没有登上山顶，只好回来了。妈妈鼓励他说他才14岁，还有机会。爸爸告诉他：很多时候，实现自己期待的东西不是最重要的事，虽然你没有到达山顶，但是你在路上收获颇多。短文告诉我们：不是每一个目标都将会实现，不是每一项工作都以成功结束，不是每一份梦想都可以成真，最美的风景是在通往成功的路上。

【1】B 细节理解题。题意：当太阳下山时，汤姆怎样地回到家里？A. slowly慢慢地；B. sadly难过地；C. quickly快速地；D. early早早地。从短文第一段最后一句：Little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes. （小汤姆回到家里，眼睛里满是泪水）可以推测出他很难过。故选B。

【2】B 推理判断题。题意：汤姆的父母想要他怎样？A. to be friendly友好；B. to be happy开心；C. to be clever聪明；D. to be healthy健康。从第二段中父母说给汤姆的话中，我们可以知道他的父母希望他开心，不要因这此失败而背上包袱。故选B。

【3】C 细节理解题。题意：汤姆未能到达山顶的主要原因是什么？A. The mountain was so high.山高；B. The way was full of big or small stones.路上满是大大小小的石头；C. He was tired and it was so late.他累了，天黑了；D. He was only 14 years old.他只有十四岁。由第二段的：The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way, I still go ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back.（山是那么高而且满是大大小小的石头，我还是前进。但是我累了而且天晚了，我不得不回来。）可以推测出他回来的原因是累了，天晚了。故选C。

【4】A 细节理解题。题意：汤姆在上山的路上看到了除什么外的东西？A. clear water清澈的水；B. blue sky蓝天；C. colorful flowers五颜六色的花；D. green trees绿树。在第二段汤姆与爸爸的对话中可知，他们没有谈到clear water。故选A。

【5】D 主旨推断题。题意：主者尽力地告诉我们什么？A. the goal is not important目标不重要；B. everyone should climb the mountain每一个人都应该登山；C. the mountain is very beautiful山很美；D. the process (过程) is more important than the result过程比结果重要。由第二段爸爸的话：很多时候，实现自己期待的东西不是最重要的事，虽然你没有到达山顶，但是你在路上收获颇多。以及短文最后一段的大意：不是每一个目标都将会实现，不是每一项工作都以成功结束，不是每一份梦想都可以成真，最美的风景是在通往成功的路上。可知，本题正确选D。
