A man died and was on his way to another world, either heaven (天堂) or hell (地獄). He saw an extremely grand palace half way and the owner of the palace asked him to stay and live in the palace.

The man said, “I have been working hard during my life and now I just want to eat and sleep without any work.”

The owner of the palace said, “If so, there is nowhere else better than here for you. There is plenty of seafood and delicacies (美味佳肴) in my palace, and you can eat whatever you like without anyone stopping you. And nothing needs to be done by you.” Then, the man settled down (安定) in the palace.

At the beginning, the man felt very happy at the cycle of eating and sleeping. But gradually, he felt a bit lonely and void. So he went to the palace owner and said, “It is very bored to live by just eating and sleeping every day. Now I show no interest in this kind of life any more. Could you help me find a job?”

The owner replied, “Sorry, there is no job here at all.”

After another several months, the man could not go on with the life and went to the palace owner again, “I really can not stand this kind of life any more. If you do not offer me a job, I would prefer to go to hell instead of living here.”

The owner of the palace smiled contemptuously (蔑視地), “Do you think it is heaven here? It is actually hell!”

【解析】

試題分析:本文通過一則寓言故事,告訴我們工作是我們快樂的源泉。

1.根據(jù)A man died and was on his way to another world可知,本題應(yīng)該選D。

2.根據(jù)If so, there is nowhere else better than here for you. There is plenty of seafood and delicacies (美味佳肴) in my palace, and you can eat whatever you like without anyone stopping you. And nothing needs to be done by you.可知,在這里,這個人除了吃和睡以外,什么都可以不做。所以本題選C。

3.根據(jù)he felt a bit lonely and void中的lonely“孤獨的”可推知,此處void的意思應(yīng)與其保持一致,故應(yīng)該是“空虛的”意思。所以本題選B。

4.通過It is very bored to live by just eating and sleeping every day可知,因為他感到孤獨和無聊,才會想找工作。所以本題選D。

5.通過最后一句Do you think it is heaven here? It is actually hell!可知,這個人本認為在天堂。所以本題選A。

考點:本題考查的是一則寓言故事。

點評:本文的意思比較好理解,但應(yīng)該注意文章的邏輯關(guān)系,應(yīng)結(jié)合上下文進行理解。本題的題目的難度比較適中,大都能在文中找到答案。特別要注意第3小題,推測時要注意前面的lonely一詞。
