Question

【题目】

It’s almost time for Science Night. I need a partner who should I ask? I have three friends who all want to help, How can I choose just one for the task? My best friend Jule is fun to be around. But she’s as chatty as a bird. When she starts to talk-just watch out! I can’t get in a single word. Still, that might work for Science Night; She’d show our project to the crowd. Jule’s voice would boom out like a drum I wouldn’t mind if she were extra loud! And then there s Dan, who s really shy But wise as an owl- he’s so smart? He’d help with the thinking for the job. He wouldn’t talk, but he’d do his part.

But what about Shel, who s good at art? He paints and draws and sculpts so well. Our project would look great no doubt! I m sure I should be asking Shel. How can I choose just one from three? I need them all! l’ m feeling sick. I’ m as dizzy as a spinning top. When trying to choose I just can’t pick! But wait—why not ask them all to help? A group of four is better than one. I’d love to work with all my friends. In such a group, wed have such fun! The work could be shared by four of us. Be me and Shel and Dan and Jule. We’d fit together like puzzle pieces. And take the grand prize in the school!

【解析】

本文以诗歌的形式，介绍了自己想要参加一个项目，希望在自己三个朋友中选择一个朋友。但是每个朋友都有自己的优点，作者不知该如何选取，最后作者意识到，自己需要的是一个团队。

【1】细节理解题。根据“How can I choose just one from three?”和“Be me and Shel and Dan and Jule.”可知说话的人一共谈到他的三个朋友。故选C。

【2】推理判断题。根据“It’s almost time for Science Night.I need a partner who should I ask?”可知作者希望找到一个搭档来参加科学之夜的项目，并且根据“And take the grand prize in the school!”可推测他们是学生，诗中并没有提到组织这个项目的人。故选D。

【3】推理判断题。根据“She’d show our project to the crowd.”和“I wouldn’t mind if she were extra loud!”可知Jule的能够将我们的项目展示给人们，并且作者并不介意她再大点声，因此形容她的嗓音像鼓是为了说明她的嗓音很大。故选A。

【4】推理判断题。根据作者对Shel的描述“He paints and draws and sculpts so well.Our project would look great no doubt!”可知，作者只是介绍了他在画画方面的天赋，并未介绍说话、性格方面的事，因此B选项符合句意。故选B。

【5】推理判断题。本诗刚开始介绍需要一个搭档参加项目，然后分别介绍三个朋友的特长，然后根据“But wait—why not ask them all to help?A group of four is better than one.”以及最后两段可知，作者想既然我每个人都需要，为什么不能四个人一起呢，排除B选项；关于难题和项目难易度文章并没有提到，因此A选项“每个人都有一项天赋”是作者介绍并感悟的。故选A。
