【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講述了作者的父親買(mǎi)了一個(gè)小農(nóng)場(chǎng)，在里面種滿(mǎn)了各種蔬菜、果樹(shù)甚至

還養(yǎng)了蜜蜂。但作者的父親收獲的時(shí)候，他燉了一鍋蔬菜，聞到味道時(shí).，作者和其他人覺(jué)得

燒得很糟糕，但是最后全部都吃光了。

1.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段的AndeveryweekhecleanedOldManMcColgin，s

chickenhouseinexchangeformanure（肥料）.可知選擇B,是為了收集肥料。

2.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的wedrankupeverylastdropofsoup.可知，選擇D,

意為父親的燉菜非常美味。

3.B詞義判斷題。根據(jù)文章上文的thefirstwavehadshutdownmyabilitytosmell,

可知，此處指的是鼻子聞不到那種味道，故選擇B,意為攪亂。

4.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，父親在背部受傷后，不愿意休息，而是自己經(jīng)營(yíng)著小

農(nóng)場(chǎng)，而且在收獲后，還自燉菜，故選擇C最為恰當(dāng)，指父親對(duì)于生活有著積極的態(tài)度。
