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】

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

【1】細節(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，快樂王子的雕像是由金子所鑄。故選C。

【2】詞句猜測題。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，燕子問快樂王子為什么哭，所以weep表示“哭泣”。故選B。

【3】細節(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)果狀語從句，可知，快樂王子的臉在夜光下如此的美麗，以至于這個小燕子充滿了憐憫。故選C。

【4】細節(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，快樂王子曾經(jīng)生活在一個宮殿里，白天跟朋友在花園里玩，晚上在禮堂里跳舞，每一天都過得非常開心，所以，他叫快樂王子的原因是他曾經(jīng)在宮殿里過著開心的生活。故選A。

【5】細節(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。

本文是一個記敘文。講述了快樂王子死后，被人們鑄成雕像放在高處，快樂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。題型有細節(jié)理解題和詞句猜測題。細節(jié)理解題是針對文中某個細節(jié)、某句話或某部分具體內(nèi)容設(shè)置問題，所以在做細節(jié)理解題時要結(jié)合原文和題干有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析，再結(jié)合選項選出正確答案。例如第1題，根據(jù)文章第一段可得知，快樂王子雕像是由金子組成的，進而得出正確的選項。詞義猜測類試題根據(jù)上下文理解某個詞或某個短語。需要根據(jù)前后文進行比較對照，對它的定義(描述)以及舉例進行猜測來得出答案。例如第2題，根據(jù)快樂王子和小燕子的對話可知，快樂王子是哭了，進而得出正確的選項。
