Question

【題目】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.

He showed me how they loved him, He put a piece of bread in his mouth, with one end of it out of his lips, Down they came like bees at a flower, and flew off with it piece by piece,

When they thought he slept too long in the morning, they would fly in and_____________.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了一個住在小樹林里的人，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候，鳥就在地上吃他翻土出來的蟲子。開始時這些鳥并不敢靠近他，怕受到傷害，但很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)他是個好人，漸漸地開始信任他，慢慢地建立起很融洽的感情。這些鳥對他的信任和愛是這位老人一生中很大的喜悅。

【1】C細節(jié)理解題。文章原文說到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)他是一個好人，不會傷害他們，反而喜歡他們接近他。所以那些鳥開始不接近他是因為對他不了解，怕他傷害它們，故選C。

【2】D詞義猜測題。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，日復一日，它們對于他的愛的信任在它們的心中成長起來。這里的this代指的上文提到的知道他是個好人，所以這里應該說是鳥對于這個人的信任建立起來了。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_____________.當它們認為他早上睡得時間太長時，它們會飛過來……根據(jù)前半句話可以推測，這里鳥們覺得他睡得時間太長，所以應該會叫醒他。故選B。

【4】C推理判斷題。本文講述的是一個人和鳥之間發(fā)生的故事，開始時鳥對人是有戒備心理的，當它們感受到人的善意的時候，也用善意回報他，所以本文可以告訴我們付出愛就可以收獲愛。并沒有提到鳥是人類最好的朋友，也沒有說每個人都能和動物友好相處，更不能推測出喜愛鳥的人都是熱心腸。故選C。
