试题分析:

1..通过 the farmer got up early to read books.可知,农民起早是为了读书。所以本题选D。

3.通过阅读全文,我们可知,A说是为喜欢问问题的孩子写的,但文中并没有体现,这个孩子好问问题,所以A是不正确的;B说是为喜欢玩水的孩子写的,显然是错误的;C说是为不喜欢农业的孩子写的,很明显也是不对的;通过 I don’t understand them. What are the advantages of reading?可知,D是正确的。

4.通过It was clean, inside and out.可知,经过两次的打水,篮子以及干净了。所以本题选B。

5.B说老农与孙子开玩笑,很明显是错误的;C说小孩最后打满了一篮子水,通过again the basket was empty可知,是不对的;D说老农看到孩子拿着空篮子,很生气,通过文章可知是错误的。A说老农可能通过阅读改变了,应该是对的。所以本题选A。

Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party instead.

While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, “Why not invite John?” John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in math than anyone else in class. I wrinkled(皱起) my nose, “Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?” Mum said nothing. The next day, mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate(凭证) in it. “I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John.” Mum said. But how? We didn’t want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.

On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently. John arrived, in an old sheet(床单), but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, “Now it’s time for the great prize game. It’s the following riddle…” It was a math game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.

Everything went on well as we planned. John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week. He felt happy. So did we.

3.How did John get the prize during the party?

C. By getting good grades in study

D. By winning the math game.

4.John _________ with the shopping certificate after the party.
