Question

【題目】

High above the city, stood the statue (雕像) of the Happy Prince. He was covered all over with thin leaves of fine gold, for eyes he had two bright sapphires (藍(lán)寶石), and a large red ruby (紅寶石) on his clothes.

One day, a Swallow (燕子) arrived at the city and stayed between the feet of the Happy Prince. But just as he was putting his head under his wings a large drop of water fell on him. “What is the use of a statue if it cannot keep the rain off?” he said. Then he looked up and saw the eyes of the Happy Prince were filled with tears, and tears were running down his golden face. His face was so beautiful in the moonlight that the little Swallow was filled with pity.

“Who are you?” he said. “I am the Happy Prince.”

“Why are you weeping then?” asked the Swallow.

“When I was alive and had a human heart,” answered the statue, “I did not know what tears were, for I lived in a palace. In the daytime I played with my friends in the garden, and in the evening I danced in the Great Hall. Everyone called me the Happy Prince, and happy indeed I was. So I lived, and so I died. And now that I am dead they have set me up here so high that I can see all the ugly and terrible things of my city, and though my heart is made of lead ( 鉛 ) yet I cannot choose but weep.”

【解析】

本文講述了快樂(lè)王子曾經(jīng)在宮殿里無(wú)憂無(wú)慮的生活，但是當(dāng)他死后，人們把他建造成一個(gè)雕塑立在高處時(shí)，他看到了城市里丑陋糟糕的事情，這讓他很悲傷。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)He was covered all over with thin leaves of fine gold“他渾身上下鑲滿了薄薄的黃金葉片”，可知，快樂(lè)王子的雕像是由金子所鑄。故選C。

【2】詞句猜測(cè)題。rain下雨；cry哭；talk交談；smile微笑。根據(jù)前文Then he looked up and saw the eyes of the Happy Prince were filled with tears, and tears were running down his golden face“然后他抬頭看到快樂(lè)王子的眼睛里充滿了淚水，淚水流淌在他金色的臉龐上”，可知，燕子問(wèn)快樂(lè)王子為什么哭，所以weep表示“哭泣”。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)His face was so beautiful in the moonlight that the little Swallow was filled with pity中，so…that引導(dǎo)的是結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句，可知，快樂(lè)王子的臉在夜光下如此的美麗，以至于這個(gè)小燕子充滿了憐憫。故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)I did not know what tears were, for I lived in a palace…h(huán)appy indeed I was，可知，快樂(lè)王子曾經(jīng)生活在一個(gè)宮殿里，白天跟朋友在花園里玩，晚上在禮堂里跳舞，每一天都過(guò)得非常開(kāi)心，所以，他叫快樂(lè)王子的原因是他曾經(jīng)在宮殿里過(guò)著開(kāi)心的生活。故選A。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)And now that I am dead they have set me up here so high that I can see all the ugly and terrible things of my city“現(xiàn)在我死了，他們把我放的如此高，以至于我能看到城市里丑陋和糟糕的東西”，可知，快樂(lè)王子悲傷的原因是他看到了以前未曾看到的他城市里的黑暗的一面。故選B。

本文是一個(gè)記敘文。講述了快樂(lè)王子死后，被人們鑄成雕像放在高處，快樂(lè)王子看到城市里黑暗的一面的故事。短文主題明確，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰。題型有細(xì)節(jié)理解題和詞句猜測(cè)題。細(xì)節(jié)理解題是針對(duì)文中某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)、某句話或某部分具體內(nèi)容設(shè)置問(wèn)題，所以在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)要結(jié)合原文和題干有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，再結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案。例如第1題，根據(jù)文章第一段可得知，快樂(lè)王子雕像是由金子組成的，進(jìn)而得出正確的選項(xiàng)。詞義猜測(cè)類試題根據(jù)上下文理解某個(gè)詞或某個(gè)短語(yǔ)。需要根據(jù)前后文進(jìn)行比較對(duì)照，對(duì)它的定義(描述)以及舉例進(jìn)行猜測(cè)來(lái)得出答案。例如第2題，根據(jù)快樂(lè)王子和小燕子的對(duì)話可知，快樂(lè)王子是哭了，進(jìn)而得出正確的選項(xiàng)。
