It was one of the hottest days of the dr...

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. It hadn`t rained in almost a month. The

crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. If it didn`t rain soon, we would lose

everything. On this day, I witnessed(目睹) a wonder.

I was making lunch when I saw my 6-year old son, Billy, walking very slowly toward the

woods. Minutes later he came running out again, toward the house. Soon after, I saw him

walking toward the woods again. This went on for an hour. Finally I walked out of the house

quietly and followed him.

Billy cupped both hands in front of him carefully as he walked into the woods. in order

not to drop the water he carried. Then I saw an amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front

of him. Billy walked right up to them. I saw a tiny baby deer lying on the ground. It was dying

of thirst, and it lifted its head with great effort to drink the water in my boy’s hands.

When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I followed him to the tap. Billy

opened it and a small trickle(涓涓细流) came out. He knelt there, letting the drips(水滴)

slowly fill up his “cup”.

Now I understood what was going on. The week before, he tried giving water to our

horses but I told him not to waste water. Now when he stood up and turned, I was there in front

of him. His eyes filled with tears. “I’m not wasting,” he said. I joined him with a small

pot of water from the kitchen. I let him walk to the baby deer alone while I stood at the edge of

the woods. As tears rolled down my face, they were suddenly joined by other drops…and more

drops… as if the sky itself was crying.

1.What did the writer think of the son?

2.The boy carried the water to the baby deer _____.

A. with a small pot    B. by using an empty bottle

C. with the help of large deer    D. by cupping his both hands.

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Cows had stopped giving milk because they were old.

B. The writer thought the son wasted water when he tried giving water to horses.

C. The baby deer was dying because of lack of the water.

4.The last sentence in the last paragraph means that_____.

A. the son cried because his parent told him not to waste water

B. the writer was moved by the son and began to cry

C. a big trickle came out of the tap for the deer to drink

D. the son cried because the baby deer died

5.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. The Importance of Water.    B. The Wasted Water.

1.C 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.B 【解析】本文叙述了由于一个多月没有下雨了,眼看就要颗粒无收,这时作者看见自己的儿子多次向森林跑过去很好奇,于是有一次就悄悄地跟去,发现儿子小心翼翼地端着水在拯救快要渴死的小鹿,作者想到自己就快没有水喝了,儿子却在给动物喝水,很是感动。 1.C 推理判断题。A. Clever 聪明的;B. Wasteful浪费的;C. Helpful有帮助的,乐于助人的;D. Forgetful健忘的。短文讲述的是作者的儿子在水资源极其短缺的情况下,拯救快要渴死的小鹿的故事,故C答案最合理。 2.D 细节理解题。根据短文中的句子“Billy cupped both hands in front of him carefully as he walked into the woods”可知,Billy是用双手捧着水去拯救那只快要死的小鹿的,故答案为D。 3.A 细节判断题。根据短文中的句子“A It hadn`t rained in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk.”可知,奶牛停止产奶是由于天气干旱,缺水造成的,而不是年龄大的缘故,故A答案错误。 4.B 推理判断题。根据之前的句子“I joined him with a small pot of water from the kitchen.”可知,作者支持儿子的行为,他是在拯救生命,不是在浪费水;As the tears that rolled down my face泪水从脸上流下来,说明作者被感动了,留下了泪水; 有了Billy的及时救助,小鹿不会渴死;前面提到天气干旱的程度,水龙头的水不会很多,故只有B答案符合题意。 5.C 标题归纳题。整篇短文围绕着水展开,一切生物都离不开水,水固然重要,但只是表面现象,短文讲述的是作者的儿子在水资源极其短缺的情况下,拯救快要渴死的小鹿的故事,作者也为儿子的善举所感动,是情感的升华,生命之水,意义深远,故答案选C。 点睛:一般来说,标题的写作格式是:以话题为中心,将控制性概念的词按一定的语法浓缩为概括主题句句意或中心思想的词组。做此类题时,要避免如下三种错误:一是概括不够。多表现为部分替代整体。二是过度概括。多表现为人为扩大范围。三是以事实、细节替代抽象的大意。比如第5小题,标题归纳题,要从更深层的含义去挖掘短文的内涵。
