Question

【題目】 One day, Miss Mary asked the class to think of a story with a moral (寓意).

Little Suzy put up her hand. “My dad owns a farm. Every Sunday, we put chicken eggs in our truck and drive into town to sell them at the market. Well, one Sunday we hit a big bump (凸塊) and all the eggs flew out of our basket and onto the road.”

When the teacher asked for the moral of the story, Suzy replied, “________.”

Little Lucy went next. “My dad owns a farm, too. Every weekend, we take our chicken eggs and put them in our incubator (孵化器). But last weekend, only eight of our 12 eggs hatched (孵出小雞).”

Again, the teacher asked for the moral. Lucy answered, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”

Next up was little Johnny. “My uncle Ted was drunk one day and he told me a story. He fought in a war many years ago and his plane was shot down over an enemy area. He jumped out of the plane with only a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a sword (劍).

On the way down, he drank the bottle of whiskey. Then, he landed right in the middle of 100 enemy soldiers. He shot 70 of them with his machine gun, but then he ran out of bullets (子彈)! So he pulled out his sword and killed 20 more. Then the sword broke, so he killed the last ten with his bare hands.”

The teacher and other students looked shocked (震驚). Miss Mary asked what the moral of this story was.

“Well,” Johnny replied, don’t trust uncle Ted when he’s drunk.”

【2】C

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

這篇短文講述的是Mary女士在她的課堂上要求學(xué)生們分享一下他們覺得有寓意的故事。Suzy，Lucy和Johnny分別講述了他們的故事，其中Johnny說的故事非常有趣。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段“Little Suzy put up her hand.”、第四段“Little Lucy went next.”和第六段“Next up was little Johnny.”可知，Suzy，Lucy和Johnny三名學(xué)生分享了他們的故事。因此一共是三個(gè)，故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。A“遲做比不做好”；B“早起的鳥兒有蟲吃”；C“不要把所有的雞蛋都放在一個(gè)籃子里”；D“半個(gè)雞蛋勝過一個(gè)空殼”。根據(jù)短文第三段Suzy講述的故事可知，她和爸爸在去市場買雞蛋的路上，撞到了隆起物上，雞蛋都碎了。因此C選項(xiàng)符合這個(gè)故事的寓意。故選C。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文意“He jumped out of the plane with only a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a sword…He shot 70 of them with his machine gun, but then he ran out of bullets (子彈)! So he pulled out his sword and killed 20 more.”可知，Johnny的叔叔拿著一瓶威士忌、一把槍和一把劍去和敵人打斗，子彈用完了，劍毀了，接下來就只能空手和敵人打了。因此bare意為“空的，赤裸的”，與empty同義。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文中Johnny敘述的故事以及文章最后一段““Well,” Johnny replied, don’t trust uncle Ted when he’s drunk.”可知，老師和同學(xué)們都以為Johnny講的故事是真的。直到最后Johnny說“不要相信Ted叔叔的醉話”，所以他說的這個(gè)故事是假的。故選D。
