A.It’shelpfultofollowother’sadvice.B.Don’tdosomethingbadtothesmallanimals.C.Workinghardisimportant.D.Nothingisdifficultintheworld.【篇章导读】这篇寓言故事讲述的是：蜘蛛不听虫子的意见而一意孤行，最终葬身在收割机的下面。本文讲述了这样一个道理：不论何时，我们都应该虚心地听取别人有价值的意见，盲目自大只会让自己陷入困难。【难句解读】（第二段第二句）Ifyouletmego,Iwilltellyousomethingimportantthatwillsaveyourlife.如果你放了我，我就告诉你一个能救你命的重要的信息。这是一个多重复合句。该句整体是“If+条件状语从句，主句”结构。在主句中，that引导的定语从句“thatwillsaveyourlife”作后置定语，修饰先行词something。【答案解析】1.D细节理解题。由第二段““Ifyouletmego,Iwilltellyousomethingimportantthatwillsaveyourlife.””可知，虫子希望能用这条重要的信息换自己的一条命，让蜘蛛放了它。2.B推理判断题。由第五段“Ihavelivedhereallofmylife,andtheownerhasnevercomehere.”可知，蜘蛛根本就不相信虫子的话，因为它说的这种事情之前从没发生过。3.B细节理解题。由第五段最后一句话“Andthenthespideratethelittlebugforlunch.”可知，蜘蛛最后还是吃掉了虫子。因此“Thespiderhaditforameal.”是正确的。4.C推理判断题。由最后一段描述可知，蜘蛛已经看到收割庄稼的机器开了过来。因此判断，最后的结局是蜘蛛被碾在机器下面。5.A主旨大意题。理解全文可知，蜘蛛没有听从虫子的建议，在农民收庄稼之前没有及时转移，结果是命丧机器之下。因此本文得到的教训是“It’shelpfultofollowother’sadvice.”（3）Whentheman’swifedied,theiryoungestbabywas2yearsold.Theyhadsixotherchildren–threeboysandthreegirls,agedfrom4to16.Theman’sparentsandhiswife’sparentscametovisitthem.“We’vebeentalkingabouthowtomakethiswork,”theysaid.“There’snowayyoucantakecareofallthesechildrenandworktomakealiving.So,we’vedecidedtoplaceeachchildwithadifferentuncleandaunt.”Themanrefused.Overthenextfewweeks,hemovedthefamilytoatinytownandhisbusinessdevelopedquickly.Peoplecamefromfarawaytodobusinesswithhim.Andthechildrenhelpedhimbothathomeandatwork.Thechildrengrewupandgotmarried.Fiveofthesevenwentofftocollege.Thechildren’ssuccesswasasourceofpridetothefather.Finally,theyoungestdaughter,whowas2yearsoldwhenthemotherdied,gotmarried.Withhislife’sworkdone,thefatherdied.Thisman’sworkhadbeenthelonelybutjoyfultaskofraisinghisfamily.Thismanwasmyfather.Iwasthe16-year-old,theoldestofseven.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。1.Therewere______childrenintheman’sfamily.A.fiveB.sixC.seven
