Question

【題目】 Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales, like “True love can overcome anything.” and “Even a frog can turn into a prince". However, at a certain age, we start to learn new things about life, especially that love doesn't always win, and that a frog is just a frog..

“Fairy tales have always been with us because they are the stories of our lives in their simplest form.” wrote US author Laura Packer on the National Storytelling Network website. “They are stories of love and loss, desire and death, riches and ruin.”

Fairy tales are all about reality (現(xiàn)實). But if children only see just one side of reality, adults usually see the other.

For example, in the 2014 film Maleficent, we’re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the eyes of the evil(邪惡的) queen. Unlike the children’s eyes of the story, we see that the queen wasn’t born evil. Instead, she is in a lot of troubles as she grows up, which leads to the creation of her “evil” side. And in US author James Finn Gamer’s book Politically Correct Bedtime Stories, he tells the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood, but with a modern version: When the wolf tells Red Riding Hood that it isn't safe for a little girl to walk through the woods alone, she calls the wolf sexist(性別歧視者), which relates to today’s opinions that girls aren't weaker than boys.

It seems that fairy tales aren't just stories that our parents read us at bedtime. They may usually start with "Once upon a time.” but as we grow older, we learn that every story doesn't always need a "Happily ever after" to be a good one.

【解析】

本文介紹了大多數(shù)人從童話故事中得到了最早的人生教訓。童話故事一直伴隨著我們，因為它們是我們生活中最簡單的故事。童話故事都是關(guān)于現(xiàn)實的。但如果孩子只看到現(xiàn)實的一面，成年人通常會看到另一面。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章我們可以知道《青蛙王子》，《小紅帽》，《睡美人》都是童話故事。除了National Storytelling Network，從文中可知這是 一個網(wǎng)站，故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Fairy tales have always been with us because they are the stories of our lives in their simplest form.”可以得出童話故事總是和我們在一起的原因是因為它是我們生命中故事的簡單形式。故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“It seems that fairy tales aren't just stories that our parents read us at bedtime. They may usually start with "Once upon a time.” but as we grow older, we learn that every story doesn't always need a "Happily ever after" to be a good one.” 似乎童話故事不僅僅是我們父母在睡前給我們讀的故事。他們通常會以“從前”開頭，但隨著年齡的增長，我們知道，并非每個故事都需要一個“從此幸福”來成為一個好故事。我們可以推斷出，隨著年齡的增長，我們對童話故事的理解也在慢慢改變。故選C。

【4】最佳標題。根據(jù)“Fairy tales are all about reality (現(xiàn)實). But if children only see just one side of reality, adults usually see the other.”童話故事都是關(guān)于現(xiàn)實的。但如果孩子只看到現(xiàn)實的一面，成年人通常會看到另一面�？芍�，本文主要內(nèi)容講解的是童話故事在不同年齡中的另外一面，故選C。
