Question

【题目】 There was once a farmer who had an excellent olive(橄榄树)orchard(果园). He was very hard-working and the farm always prospered(繁荣)with his efforts. But he knew that his three sons didn’t like the farm work at all and they were thirsty for wealth.

When the farmer felt that his life had to come to an end, he called his three sons to him and said, “Dear sons, there is a pot of gold hidden somewhere in the olive orchard. Go and dig for it if you want it.”

The sons tried to ask him in which part he had put the gold, but he didn’t tell them. After the farmer died, the three sons went to dig for the gold although they didn’t know where the hiding-place was. They dug and dug until they turned the whole land upside down but no pot of gold was found. It seemed that someone might have stolen it. The three sons were disappointed to have all their work for nothing.

As the next olive season arrived, the olive trees in the orchard had more fruit than few years ago. When all the fruit was sold out, the three sons got a lot of gold from it. Suddenly, they realized that their clever father led them to discover the wealth and find out “the hidden gold” by themselves.

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个故事。从前有一个农民，他有一座漂亮的橄榄园。他非常勤劳，可他的三个儿子不喜欢农活，都迫不及待的想通过冒险发家致富。他在死之前告诉儿子橄榄园里藏有金子，想要就自己去挖。他死之后，他的儿子不知道金子在哪，就在橄榄园里挖，但是最后没有找到金子。第二年的橄榄季，果园里的橄榄树结出的果子比以往的都多；卖完果子后，三个儿子赚了很多金子。他们从果园里得到这么多钱后，突然明白了父亲所说的“果园里藏有金子，想要就去挖吧”这句话的含义。

【1】句意：老农民有一个漂亮的农场，里面有马和牛。

推理判断题。根据第一句“had an excellent olive orchard”可知是橄榄园，句中“with horses and cows”表述错误。故答案为F。

【2】句意：老农民告诉了他儿子在果园的哪里藏了金子。

推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“The sons tried to ask him in which part he had put the gold, but he didn’t tell them”可知他没有告诉他儿子金子在哪，句中“The old farmer told his sons”表述错误。故答案为F。

【3】句意：三个儿子认为有人偷了金子。

推理判断题。根据第三段“It seemed that someone might have stolen it”看起来似乎有人把金子偷了，可知“The three sons thought someone might have stolen the gold”表述正确。故答案为T。

【4】句意：橄榄园里根本就没有藏金子。

推理判断题。根据第三段“The three sons were disappointed to have all their work for nothing”可知橄榄园里没有藏着金子。 “There was no gold hidden in the olive orchard at all”表述正确。故答案为T。

【5】句意：老农民教给了他的儿子们一课，让他们明白努力工作的意义。

推理判断题。最后一句“they realized that their clever father led them to discover the wealth and find out ‘the hidden gold’ by themselves”可知父亲告诉儿子如果要发财需要自己动手，努力工作才能找到隐藏的财富。“The old farmer taught his sons a lesson to make them understand the meaning of hard work”表述正确。故答案为T。
