Question

One day, a little monkey and a little fox went out to play. They saw an apple tree on the other side of the river. There were many big and red apples on it. But there was no bridge over the river. The monkey thought hard and had an idea. They pulled down(推倒) a tree and put it over the river as a bridge.

The monkey said, “My old friend, you go there first.” But after the fox went to the other side, he kicked(踢) the tree into the river and ran to the apple tree. “How can I get there without the tree?” cried the monkey. The fox laughed and said, “You just stand there and watch me eating the apples.” The monkey was very angry.

Suddenly it began to rain. The water level(水位) in the river rose（上涨） and the tree flew away with the water.

“You can eat all the apples. But you can’t come back,” shouted the monkey.

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了小猴子和小狐狸过河吃苹果的故事，告诉人们凡事不能只考虑自己，也要想着别人，要学会与人分享。

1.推理判断题。根据文中第一段They saw an apple tree on the other side of the river. There were many big and red apples on it.他们看到一棵苹果树在河的对面，上面长着又大又红的苹果。结合下文，可知他们是想吃苹果 ，故选B。

2.推理判断题。根据文中第二段The fox laughed and said, “You just stand there and watch me eating the apples.”狐狸笑着说：“你就站在那里看我吃苹果吧。”可以推知他把树踢进河里的目的是为了自己吃所有的苹果，故选A。

3.推理判断题。根据文中第三段Suddenly it began to rain. The water level(水位) in the river rose（上涨） and the tree flew away with the water.可知，雨水让水位上涨，把树给冲走了，所以狐狸没法过河，回不来了，故选B。

4.推理判断题。结合上文，树被冲走，狐狸没法过河，回不了对岸，所以很伤心，故选C。

5.主旨大意题。综合全文，这个故事告诉我们：一个人不能太自私，不能光考虑自己，也要考虑别人，为别人着想，不然没有好的结果，故选D。
