Question

【題目】閱讀理解
I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my father's words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!”At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year.
When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind old lady. She was good at cooking. All her relatives liked the food she cooked. During “Fair time”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them.
Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no longer “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Grandma. We did our best to make her life comfortable. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper's crossword puzzle. However, she didn't look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.
To attract（吸引） people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the fair. One day, when I came back from school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked much younger. She told me that her two nieces(侄女) would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they wanted to stay in my house again,” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I've had in years!”
I suddenly realized that Grandma didn't want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful” and helpful.

【解析】文章大意：本文敘述了在加拿大南部小鎮(zhèn)New Hampshire，每年秋天都會有一周的集會，在這期間作者的奶奶成為最忙碌的人，因為他要為親戚們做飯。后來因為很多人都搬到了大城市，集會就沒有了，而奶奶也變得越來越老，甚至失明了。后來又恢復(fù)了集會，奶奶也變得開心了。作者意識到，奶奶不想被人照顧，她希望幫助別人，成為有用的人。
（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things.” 可知，數(shù)以千計的人來到集市出售和購買各種物件。故正確答案為B。
（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段開頭的句子When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the busiest person of the family.可知，作者的奶奶成了家庭的最忙的人。答案為D。
（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句 She wanted to be "useful", appreciated and helpful 可知，她想要成為“有用的”、值得欣賞的和對別人有所幫助的人。C項意為“她不再‘幫得上忙'”，符合題意。A項意為“她太忙了”，B項意為“沒有人和她住在一起”，D項意為“她看不見任何東西”，均不符合題意。故正確答案為C。
（4）判斷正誤題。A項，根據(jù)第二段第三句 She was good at cooking 可知，祖母非常擅長烹飪。故A項表述正確。B項，根據(jù)第三段第一句 Year after year, many people moved to big cities 可知，近年來很多人都搬去了大城市。故B項表述正確。C項，根據(jù)第二段第一句 When "Fairtime" came, my grandma became the most "useful" and busiest person of the family 以及下文提到的恢復(fù)“Fairtime”后祖母變得快樂起來可知，每當(dāng)“Fairtime”到來之時，祖母都喜歡忙里忙外，成為家里的頂梁柱。因此她是喜歡而不是討厭“Fairtime”的。故C項表述錯誤。D項，根據(jù)第二段第二句 Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady 可知，祖母是一個和藹的受過良好教育的人。故D項表述正確。題干要求選擇不正確的（NOT TRUE）選項，C項符合題意。
（5）標(biāo)題歸納題。文章講述的是“我”和藹的祖母，她雖然日漸衰老但是仍然閑不下來，喜歡操持家務(wù)，保持年輕的狀態(tài)。B項意為“我‘年邁的'祖母”，符合題意。A項意為“集會”，C項意為“小城鎮(zhèn)”，D項意為“祖母的家庭”，均不符合題意，故正確答案為B。
