The horse raised her voice, “If you can make my neck a little longer, my upper body will be more beautiful. And if you can make my legs much thinner, then I will look more beautiful in my lower body.”

【解析】

短文講了一匹馬去見上帝，希望上帝把她變得漂亮一點(diǎn)。她想要更長(zhǎng)的脖子，更細(xì)的腿。結(jié)果上帝把她變成了駱駝，反而更丑了。上帝要她不要要求太多，如果要求太多，就難以預(yù)料結(jié)果了。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“My God! Thanks for making me but I want to be more beautiful.”馬去見上帝，要求上帝把自己變的更漂亮�？芍�，它請(qǐng)求更好看的外表。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“The horse raised her voice, “If you can make my neck a little longer, my upper body will be more beautiful. And if you can make my legs much thinner, then I will look more beautiful in my lower body.””馬提高了聲音，“如果你能讓我的脖子長(zhǎng)一點(diǎn)，我的上身會(huì)更漂亮。如果你能讓我的腿更細(xì)，那么我的下半身會(huì)更漂亮�！笨芍�，它想要有長(zhǎng)脖子和細(xì)腿。故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Then the God made a camel appear in place of the horse.”可知，然后上帝讓一只駱駝代替馬出現(xiàn)。故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“The God was very surprised. “You are already beautiful.””上帝很驚訝�！澳阋呀�(jīng)很漂亮了�！笨芍�，在上帝的眼里，這匹馬很漂亮。因此A不對(duì)；根據(jù)“The God got angry, “This is what you asked for. You have become a camel.””上帝生氣了，“這就是你要的。你變成了駱駝�！笨芍�，上帝沒(méi)有讓馬變得更漂亮。因此B錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)“No, I am not beautiful enough,” the horse lowered her head.”“不，我不夠漂亮，”馬低下了頭�？芍�，那匹馬認(rèn)為她不夠漂亮。因此C正確。故選C。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)“The God said, “Never try to get more than I have given you. If you want more and more, you won’t know what the result will be.””上帝說(shuō)：“永遠(yuǎn)不要試圖得到比我給你更多的東西。如果你想要的越來(lái)越多，你就不知道結(jié)果會(huì)怎樣。”可知，作者想告訴人們的是不要過(guò)于貪婪的追求美好事物。故選B。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題屬直接解答性問(wèn)題，是閱讀理解題中最簡(jiǎn)單的一種，多數(shù)屬中低難度的送分題。但由于中考所占的比例很大，應(yīng)特別引起注意。本文的1、2、3、4四個(gè)小題是細(xì)節(jié)理解題。做細(xì)節(jié)題具體方法與步驟如下：

（1）略讀材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。

（2）按文章的體裁，作者寫作的組織模式及有關(guān)的信息詞，如for example，first，second…等預(yù)測(cè)應(yīng)該到何處尋找自己所需要的事實(shí)。

（3）將自己精力放在尋找你所需要的細(xì)節(jié)上，快速通篇跳讀，眼睛自左至右，自上而下呈Z形掃視，直到找到細(xì)節(jié)出處，待找到含細(xì)節(jié)句子時(shí)，放慢速度，仔細(xì)核對(duì)比較內(nèi)容，直至找到答案。
