5.拔苗助长/揠苗助长

【分析】
这是一篇结合中国经典寓言的阅读理解题，解题时我们可以先逐题提取题干的核心关键词，回到原文对应位置定位原句，将题干描述和原文信息逐一比对判断对错，最后结合文化常识填写寓言的中文名称：1. 先定位第1题的核心信息“种很多胡萝卜”，和原文首句的作物信息比对；2. 定位第2题“每天去田里看秧苗”的相关描述核对；3. 定位第3题“对秧苗不耐烦、拔起半英寸”的内容核对；4. 定位第4题“第二天秧苗长势好”的相关结果描述核对；5. 结合故事内容对应熟知的中国寓言名称即可。
【解析】
1. 原文第一句明确说明老农民种的是大量水稻，并非题干所说的胡萝卜，信息不匹配，判断为错误。
2. 原文明确提到种完秧苗后，老农每天都去田里查看秧苗，和题干表述完全一致，判断为正确。
3. 原文说明老农对秧苗的生长速度失去耐心，于是把秧苗都往上拔了半英寸，和题干内容逻辑完全吻合，判断为正确。
4. 原文提到第二天一早老农发现所有被拔过的秧苗都濒临死亡，并非长势良好，信息不匹配，判断为错误。
5. 该故事对应的经典中国寓言就是大家熟知的“拔苗助长”，也可写作“揠苗助长”。

(B)
Sick men and women are sitting on their chairs in the
doctor's waiting room. They all look sad except Tom. He is
playing with some cards. Just then the doctor comes to say he
can see the patients now. Tom is very happy to come into the
room. Before Tom can say a word, the doctor makes him lie
down on the bed. "Now let me listen to your heart." Tom
wants to say, but the doctor tells him not to say anything.
"I'll take your temperature." Tom tries to sit up but the
doctor stops him. After a while, the doctor says, "Well, you
don't have a fever, boy. There's nothing wrong with you."
"I'm quite well, doctor," Tom says. "I just come here to get
some medicine for my grandma."

【分析】
这是一篇英语阅读正误判断题，解题思路非常清晰：首先先通读整篇短文，梳理清楚故事的核心内容——Tom并非患者，他只是来诊所给长辈取药，却被医生误当成病人做了全套检查的趣事。之后逐道题目将题干描述和原文对应的细节内容逐一比对，判断二者信息是否完全匹配，完全匹配就判为正确，信息矛盾、偷换细节就判为错误，就能顺利得出所有答案。
【解析】
1. 定位原文前两句"Sick men and women are sitting on their chairs in the doctor's waiting room. They all look sad except Tom."，候诊室里的Tom本身不是病人，不属于题干描述的"sick men and women"范畴，所有生病的男女都神情难过，和题干表述完全一致，因此判为正确。
2. 定位原文"Tom is very happy to come into the room."，原文明确说明Tom走进诊室的时候非常开心，和题干描述的"very sad"完全矛盾，因此判为错误。
3. 定位原文医生的表述"Now let me listen to your heart."以及"I'll take your temperature."，医生确实给Tom做了听心跳、量体温的检查，和题干表述一致，因此判为正确。
4. 定位原文医生的结论"Well, you don't have a fever, boy. There's nothing wrong with you."，明确说明Tom身体没有任何问题，和题干描述的"There is something wrong with Tom"矛盾，因此判为错误。
5. 定位原文最后一句Tom的表述"I just come here to get some medicine for my grandma."，Tom是来给奶奶取药，并非题干里提到的grandpa（爷爷），偷换了细节信息，因此判为错误。
【答案】
1.T 2.F 3.T 4.F 5.F
