题目内容
Once there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by…the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I’m no longer a kid. I wouldn’t play around the tree any more.” the boy replied. “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited, “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help?” “Sorry, I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears ①.
“Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come and sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears ② …

解析试题分析：从前有一棵巨大的苹果树。一个小男孩每天都喜欢来玩耍。他爱这棵树，树也爱和他一起玩耍。
时间的流逝……小男孩长大了，不再每天围着树玩了。之后男孩回来过几次，分别是要钱买玩具、盖房子、去远行等等，都是在有困难的时候回来。暗示着，我们在有困难的时候才想起父母，应该平时多一份感谢，多一份对父母的爱。
【小题1】细节理解题。问题：为什么这个男孩采摘了树上所有的苹果？分析：男孩的一句话：“I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.”句意：男孩说：我想要玩具。我需要钱去买它们。苹果树说：对不起，我没有钱。但是你能采摘我所有的苹果去卖了它们，那样你就有钱了。因此明确句意为：他需要钱去买玩具。故选B
【小题2】细节理解题。问题：这个男孩什么时候返回到苹果树这里？分析通过阅读全文得知，这个小男孩返回到苹果树的这里的原因，想要钱买玩具、盖房子、想去远行等等，都是在他有困难的时候来到这里的。结合选项只有第三项符合。故选 C
【小题3】细节理解题。问题：最后这个小男孩想做什么？分析原文中男孩最后回到苹果树这里，苹果树说的话：孩子，我现在什么都没有了，只有树根了。男孩说：好，老树根是休息最好的地方。明确提出了是只想找一个可以休息的地方。故选B
【小题4】细节理解题。问题：从这篇故事中我们能学到什么？短文表面是描写一棵苹果树与一个小男孩的故事，实际上是描写孩子在父母的身边成长的过程，面对父母，我们更多的是多一份感谢对我们的父母。故选D
【小题5】细节理解题。问题：通过短文的描述，下列哪一个是错误的？分析原文：“Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears .句意：这是苹果树说的一句话：抱歉，我的孩子。我什么都没有了。只有这个老树根了。联系下文，男孩坐在树根上休息，树是高兴的。充分说明，只有男孩能来，苹果树就高兴。故选A
考点：人生哲理类短文阅读。

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “ is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl, I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace — it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times. It was my letter.
“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”

| D．part of the sea going far in land |
| A．My Letter to Mother | B．Mother and Children |
| C．My Mother’s Desk | D．Talks between Mother and me |
It was a Saturday in May. When Mrs. Black opened the door and looked out, she smiled and said, “It’s a beautiful day.” She woke（叫醒）her small son up at eight thirty and said to him, “ Get up, Tod. Let’s go to the zoo today. Wash your hands and face, brush your teeth and eat your breakfast quickly. We are going to New York by train.”

A blind boy sat there with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help.”
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins and dropped them into the hat .He then turned the sign around and wrote something on it. He put the sign back and walked away.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and ask, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you do?”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth in a different way.”
What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second one told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second one told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
Treasure (珍惜) what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.
