A rich man was once riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden. On the ground lay a young tree, ready to be planted. The rich man called out to the old man, “What kind of tree are you planting there, my good man?”
“This is a fig(无花果) tree, sir. ” He said.
“A fig tree?” the rich man was very surprised, “Why, how old are you, may I ask?”
“I am ninety years old.”
“What!” cried the rich man, “You’re ninety years old. You are planting a very young tree now and it’ll take years to give fruit. You certainly don’t hope to live long enough to get any fruit from this tree. ” The old man looked around the garden. Then he said with a smile, “Tell me, sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy? ”“Sure,” the man did not know why he asked this question.“ Then tell me this,” he said, “Who planted the fig
trees?” “Why-why? I don’t know.” “You see, sir.” went on the old man,“ Our forefathers(祖先) planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me.”
The rich man was quiet and said, “You are right，my good man. We should do some things for the people after us. Thank you very much.” Then he rode away.
根据短文内容回答下列各问题。
【小题1】What tree was the old man planting when the rich man saw him?

【小题2】How old was the old man?

【小题3】The old man was planting the tree to get himself some fruit to eat，wasn’t he?

【小题4】Did the rich man eat figs when he was a boy?

【小题5】What should we do for the people after us? He was planting a fig tree.

(答案→)He was planting a fig tree. 解析：这篇短文讲述了一个年龄90岁的老人种植无花果树，别人说他自己肯定享受不到果子了。他说他们小时候之所以能够吃到无花果也是因为祖先们为他们种好了果树，所以他也要为后代做同样的事情。【小题1】细节理解题。根据文中描述“This is a fig(无花果) tree, sir. ” He said.“这是无花果树”，他说。从而得知他正在种植无花果树。【小题2】细节理解题。根据文中描述“I am ninety years old.”“我90岁了”，所以答：He was ninety years old.【小题3】判断推理题。从文中得知，Our forefathers(祖先) planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me.”我们祖先种树给我们享用，而我也在为后代做相同的事情。所以老人不是给自己中果树。回答No, he wasn’t。【小题4】细节理解题，根据文中内容“Tell me, sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy? ”“Sure,”“告诉我，先生，你还是个小男孩的时候吃过无花果吗？”“当然。”从而得知他吃过，故回答Yes, he did。【小题5】判断推理题。这个故事讲述了老人90岁了，为他的后代种植无花果树，就像他的祖先为他所做的一样，这告诉我们We should do some good things for the people after us.我们要为后代做点好事情。
