Question

【题目】 There were two men who lived next to each other. One of them was a teacher and the other was a doctor. Both of them had planted many different plants in their gardens. The teacher seldom watered his plants and didn’t pay a lot of attention to them. But his neighbor was very careful with his plants and watered them often.

The teacher’s plants were small, but still looked okay, while the doctor’s plants were much bigger and greener. One night, there was heavy rain and wind. The next morning, both of the neighbors came out to check on their gardens. The doctor saw that his plants had been ripped from the ground and were destroyed. But the teacher’s plants were not damaged at all but stood firmly.

The doctor was surprised. He went to ask the teacher. “We both grew the same plants and I cared for my plants better than you did. How could your plants still be okay?” The teacher smiled and said, “Because I gave my plants just a little bit of water, so their roots had to grow deeper to absorb(吸收) more water. That is why my plants didn’t die.”

【解析】

本文讲述了两个人不同的植物种植方法，导致的结果不一样。通过本篇文章告诉我一个道理，过多的关心会使我们变得更脆弱。

【1】细节理解题。根据文章第一段，可知，这位老师很少给植物浇水，也很少关注它们；但是他的邻居医生经常给植物浇水。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据The teacher’s plants were small, but still looked okay，可知，这位老师的植物显得很小。故选C。

【3】词句猜测题。根据the teacher’s plants were not damaged at all“这位老师的植物根本没有受损”，可知，划线处句子表示“稳固地立在那”，所以划线处表示“稳固地”。故选B。

【4】细节理解题。根据The doctor was surprised. He went to ask the teacher，可知，这位医生很惊讶地看到他的植物比邻居的植物受损严重。故选A。

【5】主旨大意题。根据The teacher smiled and said, “Because I gave my plants just a little bit of water, so their roots had to grow deeper to absorb more water. That is why my plants didn’t die”，“每天浇一点点水，植物的根必须生长的更深，以便吸收更多的水分，这就是为什么我的植物没有死的原因”，可知，像这位医生过度的关心只会让植物更加脆弱，由此故事得知，太多的关心会使我们变得脆弱。故选D。
