For as long as I can remember, Grandma’s plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer’s end. Each September, just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days, Grandma requests (ask for something) my help in her tomato garden. I’m sure that she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind. She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking. While Grandma’s request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same, her desire for my help seems to increase each year.
　　Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes. I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe（成熟的）tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe. I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way, which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.
　　There we are, lost in the tomato vines（藤）. Grandma’s eyes are always knowing, and they are no different in the vegetable garden. From afar she spots (notice) what looks like a ripe tomato. As she walks toward the garden, she evaluates the tomato for a second time, but from a different angle. I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen. However, Grandma acts as if she needs a final look to be sure. She calls me to her side, kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face, and grasps the tomato in her hand. She turns each round, red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a half-hearted smile.
　　She then looks at me. I nod my head and smile. Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection. I know I smile, instead, at her.
小題1: Why does Grandma ask the author to go to the tomato garden with her?
A．He can help pick more tomatoes.
B．He can learn the hardship of labor.
C．She enjoys staying with him while working.
D．She tries to share tomato harvest with him.
小題2:The second paragraph shows that the writer _________.
A．isn’t good at picking tomatoes
B．doesn’t like to stay with Grandma
C．thinks his eyes and mind are useful
D．is trying to be out of Grandma’s sight
小題3: What’s the best title of the story?
A．Gardening—good for my Grandma.
B．Growing Grandma.
C．Gardening—good for my growth.
D．Picking tomatoes.

小題1:C
小題1:A
小題1:D

試題分析：這篇文章講的是我并不擅長(zhǎng)摘西紅柿，但是每年夏末奶奶還是要找我和她自己一起摘西紅柿，由此表達(dá)出祖孫兩人之間深厚的感情。
小題1:推斷題。本題從第一段可知奶奶和她一起摘西紅柿。理由是我的youthful eyes and quick mind。但從第二段又可知奶奶找西紅柿比我快多了，因此可知奶奶的真正目的是為了和孫子在一起。故選C
小題2: 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。第二段I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe（成熟的）tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe.我找奶奶可能會(huì)喜歡的西紅柿，找到一個(gè)熟的，伸手去摘，卻摘回另外一個(gè)�？芍懿簧朴诟蛇@種活。故選A
小題3:主旨題。通讀全文，可總結(jié)這篇文章是圍繞摘西紅柿這件事表達(dá)奶奶與孫子之間的親情,所以本文的標(biāo)題應(yīng)該是摘西紅柿。故選D
點(diǎn)評(píng)：每一篇閱讀材料都會(huì)表達(dá)一個(gè)核心主題，往往都是積極的有教育意義的。本文表達(dá)了很深刻的祖孫之間的血濃于水的親情。閱讀此類文章可以把握好事情發(fā)展的時(shí)間先后順序，在題目中找出文章的相對(duì)應(yīng)出處，再進(jìn)行仔細(xì)辨別，找出答案。

After that, we talked and shared stories about our weekends, dreams and families.

A woman repeated a bit of gossip (流言) about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole neighborhood knew the story. The neighbor was deeply hurt. Later the woman learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.
“Go to the market,” he said, “and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pick its feathers(毛) and drop them one by one along the road.” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.
The next day the wise man said, “Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.”
The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After looking for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.
“You see,” said the old man, “it’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesn’t take much to spread（散布） a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo（彌補(bǔ)） the wrong.”
小題1:Why did the woman feel sorry?
A．She didn’t know the story.
