本文是一篇記敘文。講述了一位國王在河畔建立宮殿，一位老婦人的木屋在宮殿附近，大臣覺得宮殿旁邊一間小木屋與宮殿不協(xié)調，于是試圖說服住在里面的老婦人把小木屋賣給國王，卻遭到老婦人的拒絕，善良的國王允許老婦人留下這個小屋。故事告訴我們：我們認為丑陋的東西對別人而言可能十分珍貴。

【1】句意：在他的王國里，沒有人不快樂。

unhappy不快樂的；excited興奮的；pleased高興地；friendly友好的。根據(jù)前句“Once upon a time, there was a king who was known for his justice(公平) and kindness.”，可推測在他的王國里，沒有人不快樂。故選A。

【2】句意：他的人民愛他，并且以他為榮。

loved喜歡；hated討厭；pleased使……高興；paid支付。因為前文談到了國王的公平和善良，可推測他的人民都愛他。故選A。

【3】句意：一天，國王決定在河畔建立一座宮殿。

根據(jù)本句的中的decide的用法“decide to do sth”，可知只有選項B符合題意，故選B。

【4】句意：幾個月之后，宮殿建好了。

few幾個，修飾可數(shù)名詞，一般表示否定的意思；a few幾個，修飾可數(shù)名詞，表示肯定的意思；little一點，修飾不可數(shù)名詞，一般表示否定的意思；a little修飾不可數(shù)名詞，一般表示肯定的意思。這里句子說的是，幾個月之后，宮殿建好了。根據(jù)空格后的months，是可數(shù)名詞，可知要用few或者a few，根據(jù)句意可以，句子沒有否定的意味。故選B。

【5】句意：但是大臣在離宮門不遠的地方發(fā)現(xiàn)了一間小屋。

made制作；found發(fā)現(xiàn)；placed放置；took帶走。文章第三段談到了小屋是一位老婦人的�？芍�，大臣是發(fā)現(xiàn)（found）了一間小屋。故選B。

【6】句意：它是誰的？

which哪一個；when什么時候；why為什么；whom誰。根據(jù)第三段的回答對本問句的回答，可知本句是問小屋是誰的。故選D。

【7】句意：她已經(jīng)在這里住了很長時間了。

for用在現(xiàn)在完成時中時，后接表示時間段的詞；since自從；as當……時候；until直到……時。根據(jù)這個句子結構，可知此句子屬于現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)，后面的a long time屬于時間段，故用介詞for，故選A。

【8】句意：大臣走到小屋前和老太太說話。

young man年輕人；king國王；old lady老太太；worker工人。根據(jù)空格后的句子，可知大臣是和小屋的主人老太太說話。故選C。

【9】句意：對不起，先生。我不能接受你的提議。

receive收到；give給；accept接受；refuse拒絕。根據(jù)后句“‘I lived in it with my late husband and I want to die in it,’ the old lady said.”可知老太太不接受（accept）大臣的提議。故選C。

【10】句意：但是老太太拒絕賣掉她的小屋。

buy買；sell賣；build建立；repair修理。根據(jù)“I want to buy your hut. I will pay any amount…”可知大臣想買小屋，老太太拒絕賣掉自己的小屋。故選B。

借助文中某個詞的固定結構和所給選項，有時能加快我們的做題速度，提高解題的準確性。比如本題中的第3小題，此題的答案的獲取就是通過decide的用法“decide to do sth”來解決的。看到decide之后，再結合選項，只有選項B符合這種用法的結構，從而選出正確答案。
