【题目】阅读表达阅读下面的短文,请根据短文后的要求答题。

A young boy was walking with his father along a country road. When they came across a very large tree branch, the boy asked:“Do you think I could move that branch?”

His father answered:“If you use all your strength, I’m sure you can.”

So the boy tried as hard as possible to lift, pull and push the branch but he couldn’t move it.

Discouraged he said:“Dad, you were wrong. I can’t do it.”

His father said:“Try again.”

This time, as the boy struggled with the branch, his father joined him and together they pushed the branch aside.

“Son,” the father said, “the first time you didn’t use all your strength. You didn’t ask me to help.”

This is an important lesson. There are many things we can’t do alone, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get them done. We all are surrounded by resources that can be used to help us achieve our goals including family, friends and beliefs. Sometimes we fail to ask for help, because of pride. Sometimes we think it’s a sign of weakness to admit we need a hand. And sometimes we don’t even think about asking for help. Whatever the reason, it’s a waste.

It’s important that we learn to use all our strength; this includes inner resources such as self-control, courage and even love. But it also includes outer resources. Just as we should be willing to help others, we should be willing to ask for the help of others.

It’s one of the great things about being human.

【解析】

试题分析:本文属于记叙文,通过一位父亲帮助孩子搬开树枝告诉我们要想克服困难,首先要全力以赴,必要时还可以寻求他人帮助。

【1】Using All Your Strength.

主旨大意题。本文主要讲述一位父亲教育孩子要使用各种方法取得成功,答案中的all your strength不仅指全力以赴,还包括使用可以利用的各种资源。

【2】disappointed.

词义猜测题。根据前一句So the boy tried as hard as possible to lift, pull and push the branch but he couldn’t move it.可知男孩使用了全身的力气来搬开树枝,但都没有成功。所以他很失望,划线词Discouraged意为“失望的”。

【3】Because he didn’t use all his strength and didn’t ask his father to help.

细节理解题。根据第七段“the first time you didn’t use all your strength. You didn’t ask me to help.”接着第一次儿子没有成功是因为没有全力以赴也没有寻求父亲的帮助。

【4Because of our pride or because we think it is a sign of weakness or we don’t even think about asking for help.

细节理解题。根据倒数第三段倒数二、三、四句Sometimes we fail to ask for help, because of pride. Sometimes we think it’s a sign of weakness to admit we need a hand. And sometimes we don’t even think about asking for help.可知有时候我们不向别人求助是因为我们骄傲,会认为求助他人说明我们有弱点,还可能我们根本就没有想过要求助他人。

【5】(open) I will use all my strength and at the same time I will turn to others for help.

本题属于开放题,不同的人有不同的答案。如果遇见困难,首先要全力以赴,如果自己能力不足,则要寻求他人帮助。
