Question

One day Frank was walking with his mother when they came to a pretty garden. Frank looked in, and saw that it had clean gravel (碎石) walks and beautiful flowers. He called to his mother and said, “Mum, come and look at this pretty garden. I wish I might open the gate, and walk in．” The gardener (园丁) heard what Frank said, and kindly invited him and his mother to come into the garden．

Frank’s mother thanked the man．Then she said to her son, “Frank, if I take you to walk in this garden, you must take care not to meddle (乱动) with anything in it.” Frank walked along the tidy gravel walks, and looked at everything, but touched nothing that he saw. He did not step on any of the borders（草坪边的狭长花坛），and was careful that his clothes should not brush the tops of the flowers so that he might not break them．

The gardener was much pleased（满意的）with Frank, because he was so careful to behave well．He showed him the seeds, and told him the name of many of the flowers and plants．

While Frank was admiring the beauty of a flower, a little boy came to the gate, and finding it locked, he shook it hard．But it would not open．Then he said, “Let me in．Let me in．Will you not let me in this garden?”

“No,” said the gardener, “I will not let you in, Tom．When I let you in yesterday you meddled with my flowers, and pulled some of my fruit. I do not choose to let a boy into my garden who meddles with the plants. ”

Tom looked ashamed, and when he found that the gardener would not let him in, he went away slowly. Frank saw and felt how much happier a boy may be by not meddling with what does not belong to him．

He and his mother then continued their walk in the garden, and enjoyed the day very much. Before they left, the gardener gave each of them some pretty flowers．

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：这篇短文讲述的是Frank去了一个美丽的花园玩，他按照园丁说的，没有乱动花园里的花，在花园里玩得非常开心。当他看到另外一个男孩因为乱动花园里的花而没有被允许进来的时候，他因为没有乱动花园里的东西而感到开心。

1.】D推理判断题。根据文意可知，Frank是去了一个花园，再根据He showed him the seeds,以及后面园丁说的话When I let you in yesterday, you meddled with my flowers, and pulled some of my fruit可知，花园里有花、有果实和种子，但是没有提到动物，故Frank在花园里看不到动物，故选D。

2.】C细节理解题。根据短文中第五段he shook it hard.以及后面园丁说的话“1 will not let you in, Tom. When I let you in yesterday, you meddled with my flowers, and pulled some of my fruit. I do not choose to let a boy into my garden who meddles with the plants."可知，Tom使劲摇动花园的门，来到花园里后，乱动花园里的花，摘果实，但是没有欣赏花的美丽，故应选C。

3.C.推理判断题。根据短文的最后一段He and his mother then continued their walk in the garden, and enjoyedthe day very much.可知，Frank在花园里和妈妈玩得非常开心，故C说的是不对的。根据looked at everything,but touched nothing that he saw.可知A是对的；根据He did not step on any of the borders可知B是对的；根据was careful that his clothes should not brush the tops of the flowers so that he might not break them可知D是对的。所以选C.

4.B细节理解题。根据短文中第四、五段Will you not let me in this garden?" “No," said the gardener,“1 will not let you in, Tom.可知，当Tom还想去花园里的时候，园丁拒绝了他，没有让他再次进入花园，故应选B。根据He showed him the seeds、Before they left, the gardener gave each of them some pretty flowers.、told him the name of many of the flowers and plants.可知，A、C和D都是园丁做过的事情，故选B。

5.】D主旨大意题。根据文意可知，这篇短文讲述的是Frank去了一个美丽的花园玩，他按照园丁说的，没有乱动花园里的花。而且他也因为没有乱动花园里的东西而感到开心。因此从这篇短文中我们可以知道，如果我们不乱动别人的东西，我们可能会非常开心。故应选D。
