Question

【题目】Do you often help the people who are in need?

One day，two boys were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears.The old woman looked very tired.They went up and said，“Are you going to town? If you are，we'll help you carry your basket.”

“Thank you，” said the woman.“That's very kind of you.” Then she told them that she was going to the market to sell the pears.So the boys decided to lift the basket together.They walked slowly with the heavy basket，but they were happy.

The other day，I saw a little girl pick up a piece of banana peel(香蕉皮)．She threw it into the dustbin(垃圾箱)．“I hope nobody would throw that on the street，” she said.“Someone may slip(滑倒) and fall.”

Perhaps some people may say that these are not great things.That's right.But almost all great things are made up of such small things.We shouldn't wait for the time to do great things.We should begin with these things that are full of love.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】She was carrying a large basket of pears.

【2】They were going to school/town.

【3】No, we shouldn't.

【4】little

【5】the piece of banana peel.

【解析】试题分析：本文作者通过讲述两个小男孩帮助老人背梨子去市场和一个小女孩把路边的果皮捡起来丢进垃圾桶的故事，告诉人们：所有的大事都是由一系列的小事所组成的，帮助别人要从身边的小事做起。

【1】She was carrying a large basket of pears. 题意：老奶奶背着什么？从第2自然段的“when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears.”（……当他们看到一位老奶奶背着一大篮子梨的时候），可知老姐姐正背着一大篮子梨。故回答：She was carrying a large basket of pears.

【2】They were going to school. 题意：两个小男孩要去哪儿？由短文第2自然段开头的“two boys were walking along the road to school”（两个男孩正沿着公路步行去学校）可知他们正去学校，故回答：They were going to school.

【3】No, we shouldn’t. 题意：我们应该等到做大事的时间吗？根据短文大意，知道，本题用否定回答：No, we shouldn’t.

【4】little 句意：但是几乎所有的大事，都是由这种小事组成的。Small things（小事情）可以表达成little things。故答：little。

【5】the piece of banana peel 题意：文中有下划线的it指的是什么？句意：另一天，我看到一个小女孩捡起一块香蕉皮，并把它扔进了垃圾箱。所以it指的是一块香蕉皮：a piece of banana peel。
