Question

【题目】根据短文内容出选择正确答案。
A
A farmer had a brother in town who was a gardener, and his brother had a garden full of the finest fruit trees. So his skill and his beautiful trees were famous everywhere. One day the farmer went into the town to visit his brother, and was surprised at the trees that grew quite well.
"Look, my brother," said the gardener. "I will give you an apple tree, the best from my garden, and you, and your children, and your children's children will enjoy it."
Then the gardener called his workmen and ordered them to take up the tree and carry it to his brother's farm. They did so, and the next morning the farmer began to wonder where he should plant it.
"If I plant it on the hill," he said to himself, "the wind might catch it and shake down the delicious fruit before it is ripe. If I plant it close to the road, passersby will see it and take away the apples--but if I plant it too near the door of my house, my children may pick the fruit." So, after he had thought the matter over, he planted the tree behind his barn (谷仓).
Time passed, but the tree had no fruit the first year, nor the second-then the farmer called his brother. When the gardener came, the farmer said angrily, "You have cheated me, and given me a useless tree instead of a fruitful one. This is the third year and still it brings out nothing but leaves! "
The gardener laughed and said, "See where the tree was planted, it has no sun or warmth. How could you expect flowers and fruit?"

【解析】农民从城里的园丁那里移植了一棵苹果树，把它种在他的谷仓后面，三年了，果树没有长出像园丁说的那样的果子。这是为什么呢？园丁来了一看恍然大悟。
（1）细节理解。根据文章第四段So, after he had thought the matter over, he planted the tree behind his barn (谷仓).可知选A。
（2）词义猜测。句意：“如果我把它种在山上，在果实成熟前大风会吹果树，把可口的果实晃掉。”因此选B。
（3）细节理解。根据第五段可知，两年树没有结果实；农民很生气，给哥哥打电话说他哥哥骗他。没有提到农民是怎么样一个人，故选C。
（4）细节理解。根据第五段This is the third year and still it brings out nothing but leaves! 可知树没有开花结果，但是长有叶子。故选C。
（5）推理判断。根据最后一段，园丁告诉农民树不结果的原因，故选D，给他上了一课。
