Question

Some years went by. Then Father Boone called the family together. “Pack your things,” he told them. “We are leaving here. Our farmland isn't good to live on. We can buy rich, cheap land in he southwest.”

Sixteen-year-old Daniel was happy. “I'm glad we are going,” he said. “I feel crowded here. There are too many houses and too many people.” Father Boone made ready for the journey. He pushed out the big wagon (马车) and tied two horses to it. Mother Boone packed clothes, dishes, pots and pans. She would make food for the family along the way. The family said goodbye to the neighbors and to their old home, and started.

Mother, the girls, and the little children rode in the wagon. Father and the boys took turns riding the horses. Sometimes all of the Boones walked so that the horses could rest.

Father and the boys had guns to kill birds and small animals for food along the way. The

Boones traveled across Pennsylvania. At last the family came to the green Yadkin Valley in North

Carolina. There were a few houses there already, but the farmland was much broader than that in

Pennsylvania.

Father Boone said, “This is good farmland. We will stop here.”

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是Boone一家，他们家原来的农田不好了，所以要搬到新的地方去。他们一家人收拾好行李，开始了行程。最后终于到了新的家，那里早已有了一些房子，而且那里的农田比原来的要更好，他们决定生活在那里。

1.细节理解题。根据短文的第一段中“Pack your things,” he told them. “We are leaving here. Our farmland isn't good to live on. We can buy rich, cheap land in the southwest.可知，Boone把家人召集起来说：收拾行李，我们要离开这里，我们的农田不好了，我们可以在西南部买到更肥沃、便宜的土地。根据这里我们知道选B。

2.细节理解题。在短文的第三段中讲道，母亲、女孩们还有孩子都坐马车，父亲和男孩们轮流骑马，有时候他们家人都走路，这样可以让马休息一下。由此可知，这一段作者主要告诉我们Boone一家人是怎样搬家走的。故应该选D。

3.细节理解题。根据短文第三段中的最后一句话Sometimes all of the Boones walked so that the horses could rest.可知，在搬家的路上，有时候Boone一家人都会走路，这样可以让马休息一下。故选C。

4.词义猜测题。根据这个划线的词所在的句子There were a few houses there already, but the farmland was much broader than that in Pennsylvania.可知，Boone一家到达了green Yadkin Valley in North Carolina，那里已经有了一些房子，但那里的农田要比原来的更宽。broad宽广的，它的同义词是wide。故选A。

5.推理判断题。根据短文的中At last the family came to the green Yadkin Valley in North Carolina可知A选项的表述是正确的；根据短文最后一段中This is good farmland.可知，Boone一家人的新家的农田是好的，故B的表述也是正确的；根据There were a few houses there already可知D选项的表述也是正确的。而根据短文第三段的描述以及最后一段中The Boones traveled across Pennsylvania.可知，Boone的新家离他们原来的家是很远的。故C不对。
