B(2025·南京玄武区期中)
Mr Worth liked spending time with his grandson, Shawn. He enjoyed teaching him some of the things he may not be taught in school.
One day, Shawn told his grandfather about a class science project that he was very excited about.
Each student was going to grow a pot of bean plants. When the plants grew big and strong, they could be transplanted into the school garden. All the students wanted to grow the strongest and best bean plant.
Shawn showed his grandfather the bean seeds. He explained that his teacher had taught them how to make the seeds grow. First, they put the seeds on a wet paper towel. Then, they put them in a warm place. When the seeds sprout(发芽), they are ready to be transplanted into a pot.
After listening to his grandson, Mr Worth said, “I want to show you one more thing about growing plants.”
“When I was a boy, my father showed me how to grow strong plants,” he continued. “When the plant is starting out, you put some weight on it.” Shawn looked at his grandfather in surprise.
“Doesn't the weight prevent the bean from growing?” he asked.
“No, of course not. This way, the bean plant will be strong and healthy. If you give it everything it wants, it will grow too fast and be weak. It will fall over when a big wind blows.” Shawn listened carefully. He wanted to grow the bean in the way his grandfather suggested. He could hardly wait to tell his friends what he had learnt that day.

答案：B [文章大意]本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了沃思先生通过豆子的生长过程教给孙子肖恩一个道理,即在豆子生长的过程中,在它上面放一些重物,这样它反而会长得强壮且健康。
6.A [解析]细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Shawn looked at his grandfather in surprise.”可知,当肖恩听到他祖父的种植方法时,他起初感到很惊讶。故选A。
7.D [解析]词义猜测题。根据画线词所在语境“Doesn't the weight prevent the bean from growing?”可知,此处要表达的意思是“重量不会阻止豆子生长吗?”,因此“prevent”的意思是“阻止”。故选D。
8.D [解析]推理判断题。根据文章中提到的沃思先生教给孙子肖恩关于种植豆子的方法可知,沃思先生是一个有经验的人。故选D。
9.B [解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He wanted to grow the bean in the way his grandfather suggested.”可知,接下来肖恩会按照他祖父的方法去种豆子。故选B。
10.A [解析]主旨大意题。根据文章中提到的沃思先生教给孙子肖恩种植豆子的方法可知,在豆子生长的过程中,在它上面放一些重物,这样它反而会长得强壮且健康。这说明,给孩子适当的压力可以帮助他们成长。故选A。
