Question

【題目】 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the nine o’clock Mystery Hour. Today we’ll show you two British stories. We hope you’ll enjoy them.

About 900 years ago two green children arrived in a small village in south England. Their eyes and skin were green and they spoke a strange language. They were very tired and weak, so the people of the village looked after them. The boy died a year later, but the girl grew strong and lived the rest of her life there. And her skin color turned back to normal day by day. Scientists say that sometimes of people don’t have enough food to eat for a long time, their skin goes very pale and can turn green.

Loch Ness is the largest lake in Scotland. It’s a very deep and cold lake. For hundreds of years, people have talked about a monster(怪物) called Nessie which lives in the lake. About seventy years ago, two people saw something moving in the lake. They said that the animal was playing and rolling around in the water. Since then many people say they have seen the monster. Their descriptions are always the same. It looks like a dinosaur, with a very long neck and a small head. It has a big bump(腫塊)on its back. People have tried to photograph the animal, but the pictures have not been very clear. Scientists don’t know whether there is a monster or not. Some say it may be a whale or a very large fish. Some think it’s a snake. Others say there’s nothing at all— nothing but people’s imagination. Maybe we’ll never know what’s in Loch Ness.

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了九點鐘神秘時刻，講了兩個英國故事。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第二句話中的"mystery hour"可譯為“神秘時光”，再綜合文章大意，故答案應為B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第二行的"British stories"可知是發(fā)生在英國的故事。所以，答案應為C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第三行至第八行。A句的意思是“他們都度過了漫長而快樂的一生。”選項A由文章第五行末尾"The boy died a year later，but the girl grew strong and lived the rest of her life there"得知男孩一年后就死了，女孩長大并強壯，在那度過了剩余的一生。所以選項A是錯誤的；B句的意思是“女孩的眼睛和皮膚一生都是綠色的”可由文章第六行末尾至第七行的"And her skin color turned back to normal day by day"可得知，女孩的皮膚顏色一天天轉為正常。所以選項B是錯誤的；C句的意思是“起初，他們說著和村里的人們一樣的語言”，可由文章第四行"they spoke a strange language"可得知“他們說一種奇怪的語言”，所以選項C也是錯的；D句的意思是“在他們到達村子之前可能他們長期沒有足夠的食物吃”，根據文章第七行"Scientists say that sometimes of people don’t have enough food to eat for a long time, their skin goes very pale and can turn green"，該句的意思是“科學家說有時候人長期不能吃到足夠的食物，他們的皮膚會變蒼白也可能變?yōu)榫G色。”所以，D句是正確的。故答案為D。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據本文第十四行和第十五行"It looks like a dinosaur, with a very long neck and a small head. It has a big bump(腫塊)on its back. "可得知“它看起來像一只恐龍，有著長長的鼻子和小小的頭。它的背上還有一個大腫塊。”再根據圖片，故答案為C。

【5】細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第十六行" Scientists don’t know whether there is a monster or not."該句得知選項A 是對的。由文章第九行"It’s a very deep and cold lake."該句可得知尼斯湖水并不溫暖。所以B選項是錯的。由文章第十五和十六行"People have tried to photograph the animal, but the pictures have not been very clear."得知“人們試圖拍這個動物的照片，但是拍下的照片都不是很清晰”，重點在not這個詞，所以選項C也是錯的。文章倒數三行的"Some say it may be a whale or a very large fish. Some think it’s a snake. Others say there’s nothing at all— nothing but people’s imagination. Maybe we’ll never know what’s in Loch Ness."該句可譯為“有人說它可能是一只鯨魚或一條很大的魚。有人認為它是一條蛇。其他人說根本什么都沒有，只是人們的想象。可能我們將永遠不知道尼斯湖里有什么。”所以選項D也是錯誤的，故答案為A。
