One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited, “Come and play with me, ” the tree said．“I don't have time to play．I have to work for my family．We need a house for shelter．Can you help? ” “Sorry, I don't have a house．But you can cut off my branches to build your house．” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily．The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then．The tree was again lonely and sad．

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased．“Come and play with me! ” the tree said．“I am sad and getting old．I want to go sailing to relax myself．Can you give me a boat? ” “Use my trunk to build your boat．You can sail far away and be happy．” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat．He went sailing and never showed up for a long time．

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years．“Sorry, my boy．But I don't have anything for you any more．The only thing left is my dying root, ” the tree said with tears ①

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述的了一個(gè)小男孩和蘋果樹是好朋友。小男孩長(zhǎng)大一些，想要玩具，于是蘋果樹讓小男孩賣掉自己所有的蘋果買玩具；后來男孩要造房子，于是蘋果樹讓男孩砍掉它所有的樹枝來造房子；然后男孩長(zhǎng)大了，要出海遠(yuǎn)航，于是蘋果樹讓男孩砍到自己造了條船。很多年后男孩回來了，只留下樹樁的蘋果樹含著淚說除了樹樁再也沒有什么能夠幫助他的了。這個(gè)故事教育孩子們要學(xué)會(huì)感恩。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章““I want toys．I need money to buy them．” “Sorry, I don't have money．But you can pick all my apples and sell them．So, you will have money．” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily．”的描述可知，男孩長(zhǎng)大了想要錢買玩具，所以摘了樹上的蘋果。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知應(yīng)選B。

【2】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三、第四段的描述可知，男孩回到樹的身邊，是因?yàn)樗�需要工作、需要房子、想要造船遠(yuǎn)航。也就是說男孩有困難的時(shí)候才回來。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知應(yīng)C。

【3】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文““Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest．Come and sit down with me and rest．” The boy sat down and------”的描述可知，男孩最后想要的是休息。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知應(yīng)選B。

【4】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)下文男孩說“老樹根是最好的依靠和休息的地方”可知，培煥樹的第一次流淚并不是因?yàn)槟泻⒁�求過多。因此A選項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的，其他選項(xiàng)敘述符合原文內(nèi)容，故應(yīng)選A。
