【语篇解读角】
本文是一篇神话故事,故事讲述一农民偶然挖到聚宝盆,贪心的国王想占为己有,国王想探个究竟的时候不小心聚出一百个国王,然后互相残杀致死。这篇文章暗示人们不要贪心不足。
【答案详析】
1 D 根据后文boil rice,还有后面出现的pot,得知不是A、B、C项。
2 C 根据前文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 根据前文意思“农民想要挖到其他东西”,所以“他继续挖”。
4 A 前文說到农民“feeling tired”,所以此处应该是“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”且文章后面也出现magical一词。
7 A 根据后文Then he found one hundred mangoes in the pot.得知。
8 B 根据前文,农民得到的是一个放什么得什么的“聚宝盆”。因为有了这个“聚宝盆”,他有钱了。
9 D “国王得知了这事,而且国王很贪婪”,后文有提到他想得到这个宝贝。
10 B 联系前后文,后文说到“如果它有价值”,说明并不确定它是否有价值,而它也不是商品,就谈不上price,cost,wealth之类。国王觉得很奇怪,“国王想知道其中的奥秘。”
11 B “如果这盆有价值,那题就得是我的。”根据前文的greedy得来。
12 D “国王看着这盆,不知所措。”其他选项填入意思不通。
13 A “国王滑了一跤,掉进盆里”。顺着slipped意思得来。
14 C 根据该“聚宝盆”的特性,“投一得百”,现在有一百个国王,对原国王来说,是很“震惊”。
15 D 出现一百个国王,可想而知的场面就是互相打斗,所以选fought,后文died也可以得知此答案。
