Question

Molly Daniels opened the door so hard that the door nearly broke it. Then she looked through the window at her neighbor across the yard. “ She is in my garden again. Those are my strawberries, not hers. Maybe I should call the police.”

Her friend, Doris, was sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in her hands. “You want to call the police because she picks your strawberries?” she asked.

“Of course,” Molly answered angrily. “What would you do if your neighbor walked into your yard without your permission and picked your strawberries?”

“I would say, better her than the bees.”

“The bees don’t take my strawberries.”

“But the birds do,” Doris continued. “That old lady only picks a few strawberries every year, and the only ones she picks are those you leave to the birds. Why don’t you pick some of your good strawberries and give them to her?”

“Are you crazy? What are you thinking?’

“Don’t you remember what happened when you were in hospital last year? She went to see you and gave you a pot full of chicken soup. When you give her the strawberries you can tell her that you still remember that.”

Molly was shocked. She had almost forgotten that little kindness because she was too angry. Then she picked a basket of good strawberries and went out. Through the window, Doris could see that the anger on Molly’s face changed into a bright smile.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文给我们讲述的是Molly Daniels因为邻居摘了她的草莓非常生气，但她的朋友Doris说比起送给蜜蜂这些草莓还是让邻居摘了好。朋友告诉Molly，在Molly生病的时候邻居送了一锅鸡汤给她。Molly听后很为自己生气后悔，于是摘了一篮子好草莓送给了邻居。

1.因为Molly很生气，所以她很重地打开门。根据文中“Of course,” Molly answered angrily，可知Molly很生气，故选A。

2.去年谁在医院？根据文中“Don’t you remember what happened when you were in hospital last year? She went to see you and gave you a pot full of chicken soup，you指的是Molly，可知是Molly住院，故选B。

3.猜测词义题。短文里划线单词“shocked”的意思是惊讶的。A. angry生气的，B. surprised惊讶的，C. upset心烦的。根据文中Molly因为邻居摘了几个草莓而大发脾气，她却忘记了自己住院时候邻居送她的一锅鸡汤。意识到自己的不知感恩以及下文Molly给邻居送去了草莓的行为可知，Molly应该感到惊讶，其他答案不合题意，故选B。

4.句意理解题。句意：哪一个句子和“I would say, better her than the bees.”意思相同？“I would say, better her than the bees.”和A. It’s better to let the neighbor pick the strawberries than to give them to the bees.让邻居摘了草莓比让蜜蜂吃了要更好是同义句，故选A，

5.推理判断题。从最后一段，我们可以推断出Molly是怎样处理的那一篮子好草莓的？根据文中Molly为自己因为邻居摘了几个草莓而生气的这件事感到惊讶和Molly摘了草莓出去了以及“Through the window, Doris could see that the anger on Molly’s face changed into a bright smile.”可知她是给邻居送草莓去了。故选B。
