题文

For as long as I can remember, Grandma’s plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer’s end. Each September, just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days, Grandma requests (ask for something) my help in her tomato garden. I’m sure that she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind. She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking. While Grandma’s request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same, her desire for my help seems to increase each year. 　　Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes. I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe（成熟的）tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe. I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way, which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful. 　　There we are, lost in the tomato vines（藤）. Grandma’s eyes are always knowing, and they are no different in the vegetable garden. From afar she spots (notice) what looks like a ripe tomato. As she walks toward the garden, she evaluates the tomato for a second time, but from a different angle. I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen. However, Grandma acts as if she needs a final look to be sure. She calls me to her side, kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face, and grasps the tomato in her hand. She turns each round, red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a half-hearted smile. 　　She then looks at me. I nod my head and smile. Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection. I know I smile, instead, at her. 小题1: Why does Grandma ask the author to go to the tomato garden with her?

答案

小题1:C 小题1:A 小题1:D

试题分析：这篇文章讲的是我并不擅长摘西红柿，但是每年夏末奶奶还是要找我和她自己一起摘西红柿，由此表达出祖孙两人之间深厚的感情。 小题1:推断题。本题从第一段可知奶奶和她一起摘西红柿。理由是我的youthful eyes and quick mind。但从第二段又可知奶奶找西红柿比我快多了，因此可知奶奶的真正目的是为了和孙子在一起。故选C 小题2: 细节推断题。第二段I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe（成熟的）tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe.我找奶奶可能会喜欢的西红柿，找到一个熟的，伸手去摘，却摘回另外一个。可知他很不善于干这种活。故选A 小题3:主旨题。通读全文，可总结这篇文章是围绕摘西红柿这件事表达奶奶与孙子之间的亲情,所以本文的标题应该是摘西红柿。故选D 点评：每一篇阅读材料都会表达一个核心主题，往往都是积极的有教育意义的。本文表达了很深刻的祖孙之间的血浓于水的亲情。阅读此类文章可以把握好事情发展的时间先后顺序，在题目中找出文章的相对应出处，再进行仔细辨别，找出答案。
