Question

Once there were two brothers. They were very good to each other. They were half brothers because the elder brother’s mother was dead, and then his father married again. The stepmother （繼母）was not kind to the elder brother, but the younger brother loved him and often helped him.
One day, the mother gave each of the brothers a box of seeds(種子) and enough food for a few days. She said to them, “Take them. Go and plant them. One of you must plant them on the east hill, and the other on the west hill. Don’t come back if the seeds don’t come out. ” The mother gave very bad seeds to the elder brother, but the two brothers didn’t know this, and set out the next morning.
When they came to a bridge, they sat down to rest. After that, they got up to say good-bye to each other, but they took the wrong boxes of seeds!

試題分析：這個故事講述的是一個繼母對大兒子非常的不好，想找機會把大兒子害死。她讓兩個兒子去山上種種子，給大兒子很差的種子，種子不發芽就不能回家。結果適得其反，害死了自己的親生兒子。
小題1:細節理解題。根據短文第二段第一句話One day, the mother gave each of the brothers a box of seeds可知，有一天，他們的媽媽給了這哥兩個每人一盒種子。故應選D。
小題2:細節理解題。根據短文第二段媽媽說的話中“Take them. Go and plant them. One of you must plant them on the east hill, and the other on the west hill.可知，他們的媽媽讓他們把種子種上。一個種子東山上，另一個種在西山上。故是讓他們把種子種在兩座山上。故選C。
小題3:推理判斷題。根據短文中The mother gave very bad seeds to the elder brother可知，這個媽媽給大兒子的種子是很差的種子，但是they took the wrong boxes of seeds!兩個兒子拿錯了種子，結果大兒子的種子Ten days later, the elder brother’s seeds began to grow and he came back長出來了，所以他回來了；而小兒子的種子But the younger brother did not return home because his seeds didn’t grow. At last, he died on the hill. 沒有長出來，最后死在山上了。由此我們可以判斷出，那個媽媽原本是想讓大兒子死的。故選C。
小題4:推理判斷題。根據短文第一段The stepmother （繼母）was not kind to the elder brother,可知，Ａ選項的表述是正確的；根據but the younger brother loved him and often helped him可知B選項的表述也是正確的；根據he elder brother’s mother was dead, and then his father married again可知D選項的表述是正確的，大兒子有兩個媽媽，他的親生媽媽去世后，他的父親有娶了一個繼母。故Ｃ不對，小兒子只有一個媽媽。
小題5:主旨大意題。讀過故事我們可以知道，故事中的繼母想要害死大兒子，結果反而害了自己的親生兒子，所以這個故事主要告訴我們，害人之心不可有這個道理。故選A，不能做壞事。
