Question

Two young men, one was a prisoner while the other was a famous official from the White House, both told a story about how their mothers give apples to them.
The story from the prisoner:
When I was young, one day my mother brought several apples, among which there was a biggest red one that I really wanted to get. My mum put all the apples on the table and asked us, “Which do you like?” I was about to say “the biggest one” while my brother took one step ahead and said what I wanted to say. My mum said angrily, “A good child should give the best to others instead of being self-centered.” I learnt a quick lesson and said, “Mum, give me the smallest one. The biggest one should be left for my brother!” Hearing my words, she felt more than happy and gave the biggest apple to me as a reward.
I told a lie but I got what I wanted! Since then, I learnt to lie. Later, I learnt to fight, steal and rob. I would try all means to get what I wanted. Then later I was put behind bars.
The story from the White House:
When I was young, one day my mum brought several apples of different colors and sizes. Both my two younger brothers and I wanted the biggest one. My mum picked up the biggest apple and said, “It is good to get the biggest apple. Now let’s start a competition. I will divide the lawn (草坪)in front of our house into three parts, one for each. Who could do the job best and fastest would be rewarded with the biggest apple.” I won the apple finally.

試題分析：這篇短文是來自兩個(gè)不同的人關(guān)于蘋果的故事，一個(gè)是罪犯，一個(gè)是白宮的官員。罪犯從小時(shí)候分蘋果的事情中學(xué)會(huì)了期騙，而后學(xué)會(huì)了偷，搶，最終進(jìn)了監(jiān)獄；白宮的官員從小時(shí)候分蘋果的故事中學(xué)會(huì)了公平競爭，通過努力獲得自己想要的東西。相同的事情促成了兩個(gè)不同性格的人，所以這篇文章是想告訴我們教育是很重要的。
小題1:主旨大意題。這篇短文通過罪犯和白宮官員講的故事，想要告訴我們媽媽的教育是很重要的。類似的事情才出現(xiàn)的結(jié)局卻是如此不同，所以小時(shí)候父母對孩子的引導(dǎo)非常的重要。故選B。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。讀了罪犯講的故事，我們可以知道，他和他的哥哥都想要那個(gè)最大的蘋果，但哥哥說了實(shí)話卻沒有得到，而作者卻撒謊說他想要最小的，反而最后得到了最大的蘋果。故他是欺騙媽媽而最終得到最大的蘋果的。故選D。
小題3:詞義猜測題。put behind bars 放在鐵條的后面，在這里指的是進(jìn)監(jiān)獄。因?yàn)閺奈恼碌拿枋鑫覀兛芍�，Since then, I learnt to lie. Later, I learnt to fight, steal and rob，從那以后，他學(xué)會(huì)了撒謊，后來又學(xué)會(huì)了打架，偷和搶。故他會(huì)因此而進(jìn)監(jiān)獄。故選B。
小題4:推理判斷題。白宮官員的故事是這樣的。媽媽拿回家很多蘋果，他和他的兄弟們都想要那個(gè)最大的，但是媽媽說誰把草坪打掃的最干凈，完成的最快，誰就可以得到那個(gè)最大的蘋果。故從這件事上，他學(xué)到的是，要想得到自己想要的東西，就要付出相等的努力才行。故選C。
小題5:推理判斷題。文章中講玩了兩個(gè)人的故事，可以看出，兩個(gè)人的故事是相似的，但最后的結(jié)局卻大大的不同，顯然這與他們兩個(gè)的母親的教育和引導(dǎo)有很大的關(guān)系，故接下來作者會(huì)告訴我們媽媽在教育孩子的問題上是多么的重要。故選B。
