Once there were two brothers. They were very good to each other. They were half brothers because the elder brother’s mother was dead, and then his father married again. The stepmother （继母）was not kind to the elder brother, but the younger brother loved him and often helped him.
One day, the mother gave each of the brothers a box of seeds(种子) and enough food for a few days. She said to them, “Take them. Go and plant them. One of you must plant them on the east hill, and the other on the west hill. Don’t come back if the seeds don’t come out. ” The mother gave very bad seeds to the elder brother, but the two brothers didn’t know this, and set out the next morning.
When they came to a bridge, they sat down to rest. After that, they got up to say good-bye to each other, but they took the wrong boxes of seeds!
Ten days later, the elder brother’s seeds began to grow and he came back. But the younger brother did not return home because his seeds didn’t grow. At last, he died on the hill.

解析

试题分析：这个故事讲述的是一个继母对大儿子非常的不好，想找机会把大儿子害死。她让两个儿子去山上种种子，给大儿子很差的种子，种子不发芽就不能回家。结果适得其反，害死了自己的亲生儿子。
小题1:细节理解题。根据短文第二段第一句话One day, the mother gave each of the brothers a box of seeds可知，有一天，他们的妈妈给了这哥两个每人一盒种子。故应选D。
小题2:细节理解题。根据短文第二段妈妈说的话中“Take them. Go and plant them. One of you must plant them on the east hill, and the other on the west hill.可知，他们的妈妈让他们把种子种上。一个种子东山上，另一个种在西山上。故是让他们把种子种在两座山上。故选C。
小题3:推理判断题。根据短文中The mother gave very bad seeds to the elder brother可知，这个妈妈给大儿子的种子是很差的种子，但是they took the wrong boxes of seeds!两个儿子拿错了种子，结果大儿子的种子Ten days later, the elder brother’s seeds began to grow and he came back长出来了，所以他回来了；而小儿子的种子But the younger brother did not return home because his seeds didn’t grow. At last, he died on the hill. 没有长出来，最后死在山上了。由此我们可以判断出，那个妈妈原本是想让大儿子死的。故选C。
小题4:推理判断题。根据短文第一段The stepmother （继母）was not kind to the elder brother,可知，Ａ选项的表述是正确的；根据but the younger brother loved him and often helped him可知B选项的表述也是正确的；根据he elder brother’s mother was dead, and then his father married again可知D选项的表述是正确的，大儿子有两个妈妈，他的亲生妈妈去世后，他的父亲有娶了一个继母。故Ｃ不对，小儿子只有一个妈妈。
小题5:主旨大意题。读过故事我们可以知道，故事中的继母想要害死大儿子，结果反而害了自己的亲生儿子，所以这个故事主要告诉我们，害人之心不可有这个道理。故选A，不能做坏事。
