I once knew a man who was rich in his love for birds, and in their love for him . He lived in a grove full of all kinds of trees. He had no wife or children in his home. He was an old man with blue and kind eyes, and a voice that the birds loved.

While he was at work in the grove, the birds came close to pick up the worms(蠕蟲) in the fresh earth he dug up. At first, they kept their distance from him, but they soon found he was a kind man, and would not hurt them, but liked to have them near him.

They knew this by his kind eyes and voice, which tell what is in the heart. So, day by day their faith in his love grew in them.

All the birds of the grove were soon his fast friends. They were on the watch for him, and would fly down from the green tree tops to greet him with their chirp(嘰嘰喳喳叫).

When he had no work to do, he took bread with him, and dropped the pieces on the ground. Down they would dart(俯沖) on his head and feet to catch them as they fell from his hand.

試題分析：本文講述了一個(gè)住在小樹林里的人，每天和鳥相伴，和鳥建立了深厚的友情。他在樹林里工作的時(shí)候，鳥就在地上吃他翻土出來(lái)的蟲子。開(kāi)始時(shí)這些鳥并不敢靠近他，怕受到傷害，但很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)他是個(gè)好人，漸漸地開(kāi)始信任他，慢慢地建立起很融洽的感情。這些鳥對(duì)他的信任和愛(ài)是這位老人一生中很大的喜悅。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章原文說(shuō)到At first, they kept their distance from him, but they soon found he was a kind man, and would not hurt them, but liked to have them near him.起初他們和他保持距離，但很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)他是一個(gè)好人，不會(huì)傷害他們，反而喜歡他們接近他。所以那些鳥開(kāi)始不接近他是因?yàn)閷?duì)他不了解，怕他傷害它們，故選C。

【2】D推理判斷題。文中原句是They knew this by his kind eyes and voice, which tell what is in the heart. So, day by day their faith in his love grew in them.他們從他那友好的眼睛和聲音里知道這的，所以，日復(fù)一日，它們對(duì)于他的愛(ài)的信任在它們的心中成長(zhǎng)起來(lái)。這里的this代指的上文提到的知道他是個(gè)好人，所以這里應(yīng)該說(shuō)是鳥對(duì)于這個(gè)人的信任建立起來(lái)了。故選D。

【3】B推理判斷題。文中原句When they thought he slept too long in the morning, they would fly in and_____________.當(dāng)它們認(rèn)為他早上睡得時(shí)間太長(zhǎng)時(shí)，它們會(huì)飛過(guò)來(lái)……根據(jù)前半句話可以推測(cè)，這里鳥們覺(jué)得他睡得時(shí)間太長(zhǎng)，所以應(yīng)該會(huì)叫醒他。故選B。

【4】C推理判斷題。本文講述的是一個(gè)人和鳥之間發(fā)生的故事，開(kāi)始時(shí)鳥對(duì)人是有戒備心理的，當(dāng)它們感受到人的善意的時(shí)候，也用善意回報(bào)他，所以本文可以告訴我們付出愛(ài)就可以收獲愛(ài)。并沒(méi)有提到鳥是人類最好的朋友，也沒(méi)有說(shuō)每個(gè)人都能和動(dòng)物友好相處，更不能推測(cè)出喜愛(ài)鳥的人都是熱心腸。故選C。
