There was once a man who spent all his time in his glasshouse. Flowers was his name, and flowers were his main joy in life. He grew flowers of every color under the sun. He grew these flowers in order to enter them for competition. His greatest hope in life was to grow a rose of an entirely new color that would win him the silver cup for the Rose of the Year.
Mr. Flowers’ glasshouse was close to a public path, which was always used by children walking to and from school. Boys were often attracted to throw a stone or two at his glasshouse. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or close by his glasshouse at the beginning and end of the school day.
However, it was not convenient or possible to be on guard all the time. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to prevent harm to his glass; but nothing that he had done had been successful.
Then, just as he was giving up hope of ever winning the battle, and of growing the Rose of the Year, he had a truly wonderful idea. He put up a large notice made of good, strong wood, some metres away from the glasshouse, where it could be’ clearly seen from the path. He had painted on the board the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble. The boys were much more attracted to throw stones at the notice than at the glasshouse.
The boys often used to throw a stone or two at the glasshouse because ______.
选项
A、they hated Mr. Flowers
B、they only wanted to play a joke on Mr. Flowers
C、Mr. Flowers didn’t let them watch flowers
D、they were naughty
答案
D
解析
此题为对细节信息考查及推理题。其中关键词是used to throw stones... because。首先利用关键词从文章中扫描出与之相关的句子(第2段第2句)。然后对照选项排除干扰。A、C两项与文章事实不符,可首先排除;B项说孩子们只想同Mr.Flowers开个玩笑,但这不符合 used to(经常这样做)的规律,故可排除。唯有D项naughty符合孩子爱恶作剧的天性,故为正确答案。

三岁为妇,靡室劳矣。夙兴夜寐,靡有朝矣。言既遂矣,至于暴矣。兄弟不知,咥其笑矣。静言思之,躬自悼矣。及尔偕老,老使我怨。淇则有岸,隰则有泮。总角之宴,言笑晏晏。信誓旦旦,不思其反。反是不思,亦已焉哉!本诗是否可称为“弃妇诗”?
