Question

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
Once there was an apple tree which a little boy always played around. When the little boy grew up, he no longer played around the tree.
One day the tree said, “Come and play with me.” The boy answered, “I need money.” “Sorry, you can sell the apples for some money.” The boy did that and left happily.
After a few years, the boy came back. The tree said, “Come and play with me.” The boy said, “I don't have time. I need a house.” “You can cut off my branches (树枝) and trunk (树干) for a house,” answered the tree. The boy did so.
Twenty years later, the boy came back again. “My boy, the only thing left is my dying roots (根),” said the tree. “I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I am too tired,” answered the boy. The tree then smiled with tears.

【解析】这篇短文给我们讲述了苹果树和小男孩的故事，不管小男孩提什么要求，苹果树总是满足他，不惜自己的果实、树枝和树干，甚至自己的根。其实苹果树就像是我们的父母，无论我们需要什么，他们都会尽量满足。

（1）细节理解题。根据短文的第一段Once there was an apple tree which a little boy always played around. When the little boy grew up, he no longer played around the tree.可知，这个孩子小的时候经常围着苹果树玩。故应选B。

（2）细节理解题。根据短文第二段中“Sorry, you can sell the apples for some money.” The boy did that and left happily.可知，小男孩第一次回到苹果树这里，卖掉了苹果，开心地离开了。由此可知应选C。

（3）推理判断题。根据短文第三段的意思可知，这个小男孩又一次来到苹果树这里，想要一个房子，苹果树让他砍掉它的树枝和树干。第一次小男孩来要钱的时候，苹果树就说：Sorry，这一次小男孩要的更大东西，所以苹果树会感到更抱歉。故应选B。其他选项中excited兴奋的；worried担心的；glad高兴的，这三个形容词不能描绘苹果树的心情。

（4）推理判断题。根据短文第四段中Twenty years later, the boy came back again. “My boy, the only thing left is my dying roots (根),” said the tree. “I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I am too tired,” answered the boy可知，当小男孩再一次回来的时候，大树除了根，什么都没有了。但是这一次小男孩只想要一个休息的地方。由此可知B、C和D都不对，应选A。

（5）推理判断题。根据短文的最后一段The tree is our parent. No matter what we need, parents will always be there and give everything they have to make us happy可知，苹果树就像是我们的父母，无论我们需要什么，他们都会给我们，让我们开心。通过这个故事作者是想告诉我们要理解父母，不能对父母要求太多。因此A选项符合文意。
