【語篇解讀角】
本文是一篇神話故事,故事講述一農(nóng)民偶然挖到聚寶盆,貪心的國王想占為己有,國王想探個究竟的時候不小心聚出一百個國王,然后互相殘殺致死。這篇文章暗示人們不要貪心不足。
【答案詳析】
1 D 根據(jù)后文boil rice,還有后面出現(xiàn)的pot,得知不是A、B、C項。
2 C 根據(jù)前文It does not seem to be of any use to me.和后文Maybe l willfind something else,可知他是想要挖得更深一些。
3 D 根據(jù)前文意思“農(nóng)民想要挖到其他東西”,所以“他繼續(xù)挖”。
4 A 前文說到農(nóng)民“feeling tired”,所以此處應(yīng)該是“休息”
5 B 后文There were one hundred spades in the pot.是不符合常理的,所以他不敢“相信”他的眼睛。
6 C 前文There were one hundred spades in the pot.常理看是不可能的,所以很“神奇”且文章后面也出現(xiàn)magical一詞。
7 A 根據(jù)后文Then he found one hundred mangoes in the pot.得知。
8 B 根據(jù)前文,農(nóng)民得到的是一個放什么得什么的“聚寶盆”。因為有了這個“聚寶盆”,他有錢了。
9 D “國王得知了這事,而且國王很貪婪”,后文有提到他想得到這個寶貝。
10 B 聯(lián)系前后文,后文說到“如果它有價值”,說明并不確定它是否有價值,而它也不是商品,就談不上price,cost,wealth之類。國王覺得很奇怪,“國王想知道其中的奧秘?!?/p>
11 B “如果這盆有價值,那題就得是我的?!备鶕?jù)前文的greedy得來。
12 D “國王看著這盆,不知所措?!逼渌x項填入意思不通。
13 A “國王滑了一跤,掉進盆里”。順著slipped意思得來。
14 C 根據(jù)該“聚寶盆”的特性,“投一得百”,現(xiàn)在有一百個國王,對原國王來說,是很“震驚”。
15 D 出現(xiàn)一百個國王,可想而知的場面就是互相打斗,所以選fought,后文died也可以得知此答案。
