Question

【题目】 Once, there was a little tree. One day, he looked around and saw the bigger trees. “They all look taller than me,” thought the little tree to himself. He thought it was the soil’s(土壤的)fault. So he lifted up his roots and moved over to the part of the garden which he thought had better soil.

A few weeks later the little tree looked up again. The other trees were growing and he was still no bigger. He blamed(责备) the lack of sunlight and moved to a sunnier place.

Time and time again, the little tree found more reasons for his not growing. He moved from point to point, always picking up his root, always moving and always searching for the right soil, water, fertilizer(肥料), sunshine and other more favorable（适合的） conditions. And he stayed little. The other trees stayed in one place and built strong roots. Their branches（树枝） grew. And the little tree still stayed little.

【1】The little tree was smaller than any other tree around him.

【2】At first, the little tree moved to another part of the garden to search for more sunlight.

【3】After the moving, the little tree stayed little.

【4】The other trees grew bigger and stronger because they had more favorable conditions.

【5】The story mainly tells if we don't have good conditions of living and working, we won’t make any progress.

本文讲述有一棵小树，它觉得周围的树都比他高，所以它总是移动和寻找合适的土壤、水、肥料、阳光和其他适合的条件。与其同时，其他树已经扎了根，但是这棵小树仍然没有长大。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段中“They all look taller than me”可知，周围的树都比它高，所以这棵小树比他周围的任何树都小。该项表述正确，故选T。

【2】细节理解题。根据第一段中“So he lifted up his roots and moved over to the part of the garden which he thought had better soil.”可知，起初小树是为了更好的土壤搬到了花园的另一边，而不是为了阳光。该项表述错误，故选F。

【3】细节理解题。根据第三段中“And the little tree still stayed little.”可知，小树移动之后还是没怎么长大。该项表述正确，故选T。

【4】推理判断题。根据第三段中“The other trees stayed in one place and built strong roots. Their branches（树枝） grew.”可知，其他树长大是因为它们待在一个地方，扎根于土壤，而不是因为它们有更有利的条件。该项表述错误，故选F。

【5】主旨大意题。分析文章内容可知，本文想告诉我们如果我们不能坚持和耐心，我们就不会取得任何进步，不能只寄希望于外部条件，而不是如果我们没有良好的生活和工作条件，我们就不会取得任何进步。该项表述错误，故选F。
