Question

【题目】In Hebei， there is a small village called Yeli.Through the village，you can see green trees along the riverbank.However， you can hardly imagine that， about 16years ago， this area was covered with rocks and weeds(杂草).The big change is all because of years of hard work by two best friends: Jia Haixia， who is blind， and Jia Wenqi， who has no arms.

The two friends decided to plant trees to make a living back in 2002.Although both are disabled， they learned to work together by becoming each other’s eyes and hands.With little money to buy young trees， they had to collect and plant cuttings(插枝，插条).Every morning， they went to the riverbank together.Jia Wenqi walked in the front and Jia Haixia followed him by holding one of his friends empty sleeves (衣袖).After they arrived at the riverbank， Jia Haixia would climb on his friend’s shoulders to get cuttings and Jia Wenqi would tell him which cuttings were the best.After that， they dug holes on the ground and watered the cuttings together.

They planted 800trees in the first year， but only two survived (存活).They didn’t give up.Instead， they continued to plant more in the next few years.The riverbank is now home to over ten thousand trees.

Today， the two friends no longer need to make a living by planting trees， but they have no plans to stop.They aim to plant as many trees as possible in the area so as to protect the village from flooding (洪水)and to improve the local environment.

【解析】

贾海霞，双目失明，贾文其，双臂截肢，两个普通的农民，十几年如一日，坚守绿化梦，造福家乡人，让昔日荒凉的河滩变成了一片茂密的丛林。

【1】根据短文的开头In Hebei， there is a small village called Yeli.可知，短文中介绍的这件事情发生在河北省一个叫冶里的村庄，故答案为In a small village called Yeli.

【2】根据短文第一段中Through the village，you can see green trees along the riverbank. However， you can hardly imagine that, about 16years ago, this area was covered with rocks and weeds(杂草).可知，在16年前，这里覆盖了石头和杂草，根本看不到绿色的树木。由此可知这个问题的答案是否定的。

【3】根据短文第二段中Although both are disabled, they learned to work together by becoming each other’s eyes and hands.可知，贾海霞和贾文其都是残疾人，但是他们学会了合作，变成彼此的眼睛和双手。由此可知这里可以回答By becoming each other’s eyes and hands.

【4】根据短文第三段中The riverbank is now home to over ten thousand trees.可知，现在河滩种植了超过1万多棵树，由此可知答案。

【5】根据短文最后一段中They aim to plant as many trees as possible in the area so as to protect the village from flooding (洪水)and to improve the local environment可知，他们种树是为了保护村庄不受洪水的侵袭，提高当地的环境。由此可知答案。

这篇短文给我们讲述了两个身残志坚的残疾人，他们虽然一个失明，一个没有双臂，但是他们互为彼此的眼睛和双手，在自己的家乡种树，将满是杂草和石头的河滩变成了茂密的丛林。文章内容比较容易理解，题型是回答问题，都是考查我们对文章细节内容的理解。做题时，应先通读短文，掌握大意；然后根据题目所问，在原文寻找线索，利用原文相关的语句作答。例如第3小题，题目问的是两个残疾人如何合作，我们以问题中work together为线索，定位到文章的第二段中，根据Although both are disabled, they learned to work together by becoming each other’s eyes and hands.这句话可知，他们通过变成彼此的眼睛和双手来进行合作，题目要求不能超过12个单词，所以回答的时候将其他不必要的部分去掉，回答关键的短语即可。
