Once upon a time, there was a lovely vegetable field, in which grew a very thick tree. Both the vegetables and the tree gave the place a wonderful appearance, which was the joy of the garden’ s owner. What no one knew was that the vegetables in the field and the tree couldn ’ t stand each other. The vegetables hated the tree’ s shadow, because it left them only just enough light to survive. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water before the water could get to it, leaving it with just enough to survive.
The situation became so extreme that the vegetables got totally fed up and decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up. The tree answered back by refusing to give the vegetables shadow from the hot midday sun, so they both began to dry up. Before long, the vegetables were really thin and the tree’ s branches were drying up.
Neither of the two sides thought that the gardener, on seeing his vegetable field becoming worse, would stop watering it. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables really learned what thirst was. There seemed to be no solution, but one of the vegetables, a small courgette(小胡瓜) , understood what was going on, and decided to deal with the situation. Despite little water and unbearable heat, the little courgette did all it could to grow, grow...The courgette managed to grow so big that the gardener started watering the field again. The gardener wanted to enter that beautiful big courgette in some gardening contest.
The vegetables and the tree should really learn how to live in harmony with those around them, doing the best they could. So they decided to work together, and help each other instead of fighting, using both the shadow and the water in the best combination to grow good vegetables. Seeing how well they were doing, the gardener now gave the best of care to his vegetable field, watering it better than any other field for miles around.
The vegetables and the tree fought for______.
选项
A、living space
B、the gardener’s attention
C、attending the contest
D、their own good
答案
D
解析
根据第二段前两句“The situation became so extreme that the vegetables got totally fed up and decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up.The tree answered back by refusing to give the vegetables shadow from the hot midday sun,so they both began to dry up.”可知,蔬菜用光了地里所有的水,这样树就 会干掉。作为回应,树拒绝在正午炎热的阳光下给蔬菜遮阴,这样蔬菜就开始枯萎。 由此可推知,它们是在为各自的利益进行争斗。选项D中their own good意为“它们 自己的利益”,符合题意。故选D。
