The Sdivength of Three  There was once a family of three sons.The boys were not kind to one another.In fact, they fought constantly, each one divying to beat the others in some sort of spoil For instance, if one boy were building a raft (筏子), another had to build a canoe (独木舟). 26   Because each of them worked alone, their work was difficult, and the results were not always worthwhile.
  Their father feared they would never learn to cooperate. 27   He gathered up a large bundle of reeds (一大捆芦苇杆) and tied them together.At dinner, he announced, a contest: “I challenge you to break this bundle of reeds in half, for whoever figures out the secret will win a life of rich rewards.”
    28   He took the bundle in his hands and used ail of his sdivength to divy to break the reeds, but they would not break.His younger brother took on the challenge.He balanced the reeds across the top of the div and used all of his weight to divy to break the bundle, but it did not break.Finally, he gave up, and the youngest brother took the bundle in his hands. 29
  Finally, the father took the bundle from them.He divided the bundle into three equal piles.“Now break your bundle,” he said.The task was easy.Each broke his bundle with hardly any effort.“When you divide your work, it is easy and you can accomplish much,” the father said.And with that, the young men understood that alone each of them was weak. 30
【正确答案】【文章导读】文章主要通过一个故事讲述了团结的力量。一个父亲通过让他的三个儿子试图去折断一大捆芦苇杆,由芦苇的道理引申至做人的道理,只有团结一心,才能坚不可摧。
26.E  根据上文可知,兄弟三个喜欢暗地里较劲,互相比较。如果有一个人造了一个筏子,第二个人就要造一条独木舟。由此推理,后文会接着讲第三个会怎样。E项意为:第三个人就要造一条更大更好的船。此项符合语境推理,故选E。
27.B  上文提到:三兄弟的父亲担心永远也学不会合作。B项意为:因此他决定给他们上一课。根据原文中“learn”和B项中“teach them a lesson”的提示,再结合语意,可知B项符合上下文的因果关系,故选B。
28.A  下文中一开始就用“he”做主语,由此可推出该空所填句子中会出现一个“he”所指代的人。再结合句意,后文讲到了“his younger brother”和“the youngest brother”,因此可推出“he”指的是“the oldest son”。A项意为:大儿子很强壮。此项符合逻辑,故选A。
29.F  上文中提到:大儿子和二儿子都没能折断那捆芦苇秆,然后小儿子将那捆芦苇杆拿起来。根据语境推断后文会写小儿子尝试折断的结果。F项意为:他使出全身力气想折断它,但也失败了。此项符合语境,故选F。
30.D  上文提到:通过这件事,这群年轻人明白了一个人的力量是薄弱的。D项意为:但是,团结在一起,他们就有了很强的力量。此项与上文为转折关系,语意一致。故选D。
