Question

    Some children were working in a wheat (小麦) field. Some worked hard and some didn’t. But one small boy just ran here and there after the butterflies (蝴蝶) and sang happily.

In the evening, an angel (天使) came and said to the children, “Come now to the gate, and bring your sheaves (小麦捆) with you.”

So the children came, bringing their sheaves, but the boy that had run after the butterflies came empty-handed.

“No one can enter here without sheaves,” the angel told him.

Hearing that, the small boy lowered his head.

Then all the other children cried out together. One said, “Dear Angel, let him in! In the morning I was sick and this boy came and played with me, and showed me the butterflies. Also, he gave me one of his sheaves, and I would give it to him again.”

Another said, “Dear Angel, let him in! At noon I fainted (昏倒) and fell down. This boy brought me water, and then he showed me the butterflies until I felt better. To me he also gave one of his sheaves, and I would give it to him again.”

And a third said, “Just now, as evening was coming, I was tired and I couldn’t go on working. But this boy comforted me, showed me the butterflies, and gave me one of his sheaves.”

And the other children said with one voice, “We also had sheaves of him, dear angel. ▲    ”

The angel smiled, and reached his hand inside the gate and brought out a few sheaves. “Here are his sheaves!” said the angel. “They are known and counted, everyone.” And he said to the small boy, “Lead the way in!”

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了一个小男孩在田间劳作时帮助小伙伴的故事。

1.

细节理解。In the morning.在上午； At noon.在中午； In the afternoon.在下午； In the evening.在晚上。根据文中“In the evening, an angel (天使) came and said to the children, “Come now to the gate, and bring your sheaves (小麦捆) with you.” 到了晚上，有一位天使来对孩子们说：“你们到城门那里来，把你们的禾捆带来。可知，天使在晚上出现的。故选D。

2.

推理判断。根据文中“No one can enter here without sheaves,” the angel told him. 天使对他说：“没有禾捆，谁也进不了这里。”。可知，小男孩是空手来的，听到天使的话之后，可能觉得自己没有希望进入大门，所以低下了头。故选D。

3.

细节理解。根据文中“In the morning I was sick and this boy came and played with me” 早上我生病了，这个男孩来和我一起玩。故选B。

4.

推理判断题。根据上文三个孩子的讲述可知，这个小男孩帮助了他们，所以他们请求天使允许他进门，其他孩子说“let him in”。故选D。

5.

推理判断。Pleased高兴的； Sad. 悲伤的；Worried担心的；Shy害羞的。文中讲述了这个小男孩由可能无法进入到被允许进入还要Lead the way in可带路推断出他会感到“自豪”。故选A。
