B

Once a small boy lived on a farm which seemed so far away from everywhere.

He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence(篱笆) along the side of the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He imagined how great it would be to live there. Then he promised himself, “Some day I will go there and see this wonderful place.”

One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.

As the afternoon went on, he began to realize how wrong he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of painting. A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows.

The girl said, “Sure, I know.” and invited him to sit on the porch(门廊). As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came. There he saw the sunset(夕阳) turned the windows of his house to gold! Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows.

试题分析：本文是一篇寓言故事。主要讲述海狸尽管遇到了重重挫折，但是她坚持不放弃，并且在一棵大树上做窝并为来年春天准备了食物和树枝。告诉我们当面临挫折时，心中拥有目标并且不要让挫折阻挡你前面的步伐，就像海狸一样坚持努力，你最终就会实现你的目标。

【1】C 细节理解题。题意： 海狸咬大树的目的是什么？A. To provide more food for the winter because of the snow.因为下雪为冬天提供更多的食物；B. To add more branches to his dam and his house.为它的水坝和窝增加更多的树枝；C. To prepare new food and branches for the coming spring.为来年春天准备新的食物和树枝；D. To keep working every day with a goal in mind.为了心中的目标而每天坚持奋斗。根据文中“But the large tree he started chewing on last fall was a future goal-- he wanted the large tree to provide new food and branches(树枝) for the coming spring.”（而它开始咬的大树是它未来的目标：它想大树为来年春天提供新的食物和树枝。）可知答案选C。

【2】C 根据短文，这一段应该放在哪儿？ "When spring arrived, we went down to see the beaver's progress. The tree was about to fall. Our beaver had almost completely chewed around and through the whole tree.”A. between paragraph I and paragraph 2第一、二段之间；B. between paragraph 2 and paragraph 3第二、三段之间；C. between paragraph 3 and paragraph 4第三、四段之间；D. between paragraph 4 and paragraph 5第四、五段之间。第三段讲的是海狸完成了第一个任务—为冬天做个家，然后开始完成第二个任务—为春天找棵树，下面一段就可以讲春天的情况了。所以放在第三、四段之间。故选C。

【3】A 主旨推断题。题意：短文最好的题目可能是什么？A. Keep Chewing坚持努力；B. Be Like the Beaver像海狸一样；C. As Busy as a Beaver忙如海狸；D. Set Proper Goals确定恰当的目标。本篇文章通过描述海狸这个动物来宣传一种不断努力的精神，A选项既涉及海狸又涉及到这种精神，故选A。
