Question

Once there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was said that the island would go down, so all made boats and left except Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to offer her help until the last possible moment. When the island had almost gone down, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a great boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”

Sadness was close by, so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you .” “Oh, Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even notice when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. Love was so excited that she even forgot to ask who the elder was. So Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only Time understands how valuable Love is.”

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文通過(guò)一個(gè)有關(guān)七情六欲的語(yǔ)言故事，告訴我們愛(ài)心才是最珍貴的。

1.根據(jù)第一段One day it was said that the island would go down, 描述，可知選B。

2.英語(yǔ)中反義疑問(wèn)的回答只依據(jù)事實(shí)，不管是問(wèn)句是肯定形式還是否定形式。回答時(shí)，一般首先要做出肯定或者否定的回答。其形式一般為：肯定回答:Yes, +主語(yǔ)(通常是代詞)+助動(dòng)詞；否定回答:No, +主語(yǔ)(通常是代詞)+ 助動(dòng)詞 not.(的縮寫(xiě)形式).注意助動(dòng)詞和人稱(chēng)代詞人稱(chēng)與數(shù)上同問(wèn)句保持一致。根據(jù)Sadness was close by, so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you .” “Oh, Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”可知本句事實(shí)是肯定的，故用肯定結(jié)構(gòu)回答，選A。

3.根據(jù)Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even notice when Love called her.描述，可知選B。

4.根據(jù)最后一段“Who helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. 描述，可知選D。

5.結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知本句的意思是，只有時(shí)間才能明白愛(ài)是有多么珍貴。故選B。

考點(diǎn)：寓言類(lèi)記述文閱讀

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文淺顯易懂，層次分明，學(xué)生很容易把握文章中心內(nèi)容。答題中注意帶著問(wèn)題閱讀短文，一般就能順利找出答題依據(jù)。對(duì)于不能直接找到根據(jù)的問(wèn)題注意聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)短文中心總結(jié)出正確答案。
