Question

【題目】

Once a king got two nice falcons（獵鷹） from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.

After several months, the king came to see how the training was going. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch（樹枝） of a tree quietly, just keeping still.

The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.

The next mornings, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. “It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. “How could you make it happen?”

The farmer replied, “It’s very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”

It is always the same to human beings. We all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to no notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort. We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】He ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.

【2】On the branch of a tree./ It was staying on the branch of a tree.

【3】A farmer.

【4】Surprised./Shocked…

(It is unbelievable. 賦1分)

【5】When the “branch” we are resting on breaks/We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.

【解析】

本篇講述了一位國王得到2只獵鷹，一只在訓(xùn)練后會飛，一只不飛總停在枝頭，后來一位農(nóng)民砍掉這只獵鷹歇息的樹枝，這只獵鷹終于飛起來。這個故事告訴我們，人也會像獵鷹一樣，不到樹枝斷掉的時候，不會意識到自己能飛多高。

【1】根據(jù)第一段“He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.”可知他命令最好的獵鷹師訓(xùn)練他們飛行，故答案為He ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.

【2】根據(jù)第二段“while the other was staying on the branch”可知它停留在一棵樹的枝上，故答案為On the branch of a tree./ It was staying on the branch of a tree.

【3】根據(jù)第三、四段“He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.

The next mornings, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely”可知是一個農(nóng)民讓鷹飛起來，故答案為A farmer.

【4】根據(jù)第四段“It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. “How could you make it happen?”可知國王看到這只鷹終于飛起來時感到驚奇、不可相信，故答案為Surprised./Shocked./It is unbelievable.

【5】根據(jù)第六段“We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.”可知我們不會意識到我們可以飛得多高，直到我們的“樹枝”斷了，故答案為When the “branch” we are resting on breaks/We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.
