閱讀下文并回答問題。
People do not usually like floods but some farmers need floods when their fields are too dry.When there is a flood, the water carries mud and sand from the river bed to the field near the river. When the water goes away, the mud and sand become good soil.
People in many countries tell stories about a very big flood. The flood covered the world. Here is just one of those stories.
A long , long time ago there was a man called Noah(諾亞). He lived with his wife, his three sons and his sons’ wives. One day, Noah heard a voice. It said: “Noah, soon there will be a big flood. You must build a boat. You must put two of every animal and bird in the boat. Many, many people will die in the flood but you and your family will be all right.”
Noah and his family built a boat. They put two of every animal and bird in their boat. They put food in the boat, too. Then it started to rain. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights. The water covered the world. The hills and mountains looked like islands. Noah’s boat stopped on the top of the mountain. At last the rain stopped and the flood went away. There was a beautiful rainbow in the sky. And the animals and birds left Noah’s boat. They ran, jumped, walked and flew away to live on the mountains.
According to the story, answer the following questions:
【小題1】Can floods be good for farmers?

Answer 1

【小題1】Yes, it can be good .
【小題2】He built a boat.
【小題3】For 40 days and 40 nights.

解析試題分析：本文主要講述了一個關于洪水有時也可以給農民帶來好處。并借助諾亞方舟的故事對這一問題進行詳細說明，但是這個故事和前文聯系不算緊密。
【小題1】通過閱讀第一段可知洪水可以為農民帶來肥沃的泥土，故為肯定回答。
【小題2】根據Noah and his family built a boat.以及上下文可知他建造一艘船。
【小題3】根據It rained for 40 days and 40 nights.可知大雨下了四十個日夜。故答For 40 days and 40 nights.
考點：關于敘事性短文的閱讀
點評：本文從整體可分為兩部分，洪水有時也可以給農民帶來好處和諾亞方舟的故事。但是這兩部分聯系不夠緊密。各個小題解答較易，都能從短文找出適當根據。答案可以從原文總結也可以直接引用。答題時注意答案的人稱、時態和數的問題，要與問題保持一致。
