Question

【題目】 Have you ever read Charlotte's Web, a classic novel written by E. B. White? It is a story about a spider. He made friends with a pig and helped him.

Wilbur was an ill-fated(倒霉的)pig. When he was born, he was so small that the farmer Mr. Arable decided to end the pig's life. Fortunately, Wilbur met the lovely and kind-hearted farmer's daughter Fern, she stopped him from killing Wilbur and asked his father to give her the cute pig as her personal pet to feed in a barnyard(谷倉場院).

Fern loved Wilbur more than anything. She loved to touch him gently, to feed him, to put him to bed. Wilbur grew day by day and made many friends in the barnyard. They are geese, cattle, sheep, a spider and so on. Of all these friends Wilbur's favourite is Charlotte, a beautiful grey spider.

As the days went by, Wilbur grew and grew. He ate three big meals a day. He spent long hours lying on his side, half asleep, dreaming pleasant dreams. He enjoyed good health and he gained a lot of weight. One day, the old sheep Samuel in the barnyard told Wilbur that he would be served as Christmas dinner this year. Wilbur turned to Charlotte for help. Day after day the spider waited, head-down, for an idea to come to her. Hour by hour she sat motionless, deep in thought Having promised Wilbur that she would save his life, she was decided to keep her promise. She had the idea of writing words extolling Wilbur's excellence, such as "a famous terrific pig" in her web. She makes the farmer believe that Wilbur is some kind of supernatural(神奇的)animal, too important to kill.

Thanks to Charlotte's efforts, Wilbur not only lived but also won a special prize at the fair. With the help of Charlotte, Wilbur became the only one pig to see the spring.

推理判斷題。Hour by hour she sat motionless, deep in thought Having promised Wilbur that she would save his life, she was decided to keep her promise .She had the idea of writing words extolling Wilbur's excellence, such as "a famous terrific pig" in her web. She makes the farmer believe that Wilbur is some kind of supernatural(神奇的)animal, too important to kill及Charlotte did everything in her power to keep Wilbur alive, but Charlotte was so tired that she finally died，由此可知，夏洛特答應(yīng)了威爾伯要救他的命，她決定要實現(xiàn)承諾，可見她對朋友是忠誠的。她通過在網(wǎng)上制作“名豬”之類的詞語，使農(nóng)民相信威爾伯是某種神奇的動物，太重要了而不能殺。并且她盡她最大努力挽救了威爾伯的性命，最終她因為太累而死了，可見夏洛特很聰明也很樂于助人。故選C。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)One day, the old sheep Samuel in the barnyard told Wilbur that he would be served as Christmas dinner this year，可知，老山羊塞繆爾告訴威爾伯在今年圣誕節(jié)會被殺掉。故選B。

【3】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)such as "a famous terrific pig" in her web，可知，夏洛特在網(wǎng)上寫了一些例如“名豬”這種贊美威爾伯的話， 由此可推斷，extolling表示“贊美”。故選A。

【4】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)The novel showed how a strong friendship could last through the worst possible times“這本小說展示了一段深厚的友誼是如何度過最糟糕的時期”及小說情節(jié)的描述，可知，夏洛特盡最大努力救她的朋友，甚至不惜犧牲生命。所以，作者想通過《夏洛特的網(wǎng)》的故事告訴我們，真正的朋友是在你困難時為你奉獻(xiàn)的人。故選B。
