[語篇解讀]本文是一篇記敘文。一位國王特別喜歡音樂，他得到一種樂器——豎琴，但卻因為不會彈奏將其丟棄。后來豎琴被一位小女孩撿到，意想不到的事情發(fā)生了。故事簡單但卻非常具有教育意義。

1. C由設空處前的One day可知應用一般過去時。

2. A由句意“……但當他彈奏的時候，豎琴聽起來很糟糕”可知答案 為A項。

3. B another表示三者或者三者以上的“另一個”；other表示“其他 的”，后可接名詞;the other表7K兩者中的“另一個”。根據(jù)句意“很 多其他的人嘗試過”且后有名詞people ,可知答案為B項。

4. C由后文中的was thrown out as rubbish可知他們認為是無用的，故 用形容詞作表語，故答案為C項。

5. D late遲到;lately最近;latest最新的;later.后來。根據(jù)句意“一個 貧窮的小女孩后來發(fā)現(xiàn)了那把豎琴……”可知答案為D項。

6. B分析句子結構可知，這里用“疑問詞+不定式”作賓語，故答案為B項。

7. D根據(jù)句意“她彈奏的音樂從來都不完美，但每次聽起來都會稍好 些”可知前后分句是轉折關系，故答案為D項。

8. A根據(jù)句意“實際上它是一把有魔力的豎琴……”可知此處表示泛 指，又harp是可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)且magic以輔音音素開頭，故答案為A項。

9. D be filled with 表示“充滿 ”。

10. C music 音樂;musical 音樂’的;musician 音樂家，樂師；musically 音 樂上。根據(jù)句意“就在那時他讓小女孩成為他的私人樂師……”可 知答案為C項。

[長難句]A poor little girl later found the harp,and even though she didn’t know how to play it,she decided to have a try. —個貧窮的小女孩后來發(fā)現(xiàn)了那把豎琴，盡管她不知道如何彈奏它，但她決定試一試。

本句中how to play it作know的賓語，even though引導讓步狀語從句.，表示“盡管 ”，decide to do sth.決定做某事，have a try試一試。
