Question

【题目】阅读表达，阅读下面的短文，根据内容回答问题。

My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home. But he would come back help to harvest(收割) rice every year.

One autumn， he promised to help our neighbor， who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999， to harvest his rice. After Father harvested our own， his little rice picker broke. What’s worse， he had to return to work the next day because his partner was ill in hospital. It meant that Father wouldn’t be back in a few days. It now seemed impossible to help out the neighbor.

Father told us that he wouldn’t let the neighbor’s rice rot( 糜烂) in the field. He decided to harvest it by hand without a machine. “If tonight’s weather is clear， I think I can do it.” added my father. In fact， he was rather tired after a day’s harvest work.

After dinner， Father had a short rest and made his way to the field. A full moon was glowing (发光) in the sky and the weather was cold but clear. He spent the whole night keeping his word.

I would never forget the image(画面)：Father was cutting rice in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him， row after row of rice stocks(秸秆) stood at attention， showing respect for a man who kept his word.

试题分析：短文大意：这篇短文作者讲述了他的父亲的故事。他的父亲在城市里工作，很少回家，但是每年收割大米的时候，都会回来。他还帮助他的邻居收大米，但是一次突然发生了一件事，他不得不第二天就要回去工作。为了实现他的诺言，他在晚上的时候，在月光下继续帮助邻居收大米。

【1】根据短文第一句My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home描述，可知爸爸过去在城里工作。 故答语为：In the city。

【2】根据题干关键词in 1999可以找到答案在短文中第二段第一句“One autumn， he promised to help our neighbor， who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999”。他的邻居在一次交通事故中失去了胳膊。需要注意的是该定语从句中who指代的是“our neighbor”因此回答中用he做主语，用一般过去时态。 故答语为：He lost his arms in a traffic accident 。

【3】根据题干中“return to work”可知答案应定位到文中第二段第三行What’s worse， he had to return to work the next day because his partner was ill in hospital.，因为他的搭档生病住院了，所以他第二天不得不回到了工作岗位上。由此可以得出答案。 故答语为：Because his partner was ill in hospital。

【4】根据题干“help the neighbor harvest rice”可知答案应定位到倒数第三段第二句“He decided to harvestit by hand without a machine.”，他是用手而不是机器帮助邻居收割大米。需要注意的是题干中的问句是用how来提问，表示用某种方式，因此用by回答。 故答语为：By hand (without a machine).

【5】由题干中的spend 可知答案应该定位到文中倒数第二段最后一句，“He spent the whole night keeping his word.”；而句中“keeping his word”便是说的“father spend in harvesting the neighbor’s rice”。 故答语为：(He spent) The whole night.。
