Question

【題目】 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the nine o’clock Mystery Hour. Today we’ll show you two British stories. We hope you’ll enjoy them.

About 900 years ago two green children arrived in a small village in south England. Their eyes and skin were green and they spoke a strange language. They were very tired and weak, so the people of the village looked after them. The boy died a year later, but the girl grew strong and lived the rest of her life there. And her skin color turned back to normal day by day. Scientists say that sometimes of people don’t have enough food to eat for a long time, their skin goes very pale and can turn green.

Loch Ness is the largest lake in Scotland. It’s a very deep and cold lake. For hundreds of years, people have talked about a monster(怪物) called Nessie which lives in the lake. About seventy years ago, two people saw something moving in the lake. They said that the animal was playing and rolling around in the water. Since then many people say they have seen the monster. Their descriptions are always the same. It looks like a dinosaur, with a very long neck and a small head. It has a big bump(腫塊)on its back. People have tried to photograph the animal, but the pictures have not been very clear. Scientists don’t know whether there is a monster or not. Some say it may be a whale or a very large fish. Some think it’s a snake. Others say there’s nothing at all— nothing but people’s imagination. Maybe we’ll never know what’s in Loch Ness.

【5】A

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了九點(diǎn)鐘神秘時(shí)刻，講了兩個(gè)英國(guó)故事。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二句話中的"mystery hour"可譯為“神秘時(shí)光”，再綜合文章大意，故答案應(yīng)為B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二行的"British stories"可知是發(fā)生在英國(guó)的故事。所以，答案應(yīng)為C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三行至第八行。A句的意思是“他們都度過(guò)了漫長(zhǎng)而快樂(lè)的一生。”選項(xiàng)A由文章第五行末尾"The boy died a year later，but the girl grew strong and lived the rest of her life there"得知男孩一年后就死了，女孩長(zhǎng)大并強(qiáng)壯，在那度過(guò)了剩余的一生。所以選項(xiàng)A是錯(cuò)誤的；B句的意思是“女孩的眼睛和皮膚一生都是綠色的”可由文章第六行末尾至第七行的"And her skin color turned back to normal day by day"可得知，女孩的皮膚顏色一天天轉(zhuǎn)為正常。所以選項(xiàng)B是錯(cuò)誤的；C句的意思是“起初，他們說(shuō)著和村里的人們一樣的語(yǔ)言”，可由文章第四行"they spoke a strange language"可得知“他們說(shuō)一種奇怪的語(yǔ)言”，所以選項(xiàng)C也是錯(cuò)的；D句的意思是“在他們到達(dá)村子之前可能他們長(zhǎng)期沒(méi)有足夠的食物吃”，根據(jù)文章第七行"Scientists say that sometimes of people don’t have enough food to eat for a long time, their skin goes very pale and can turn green"，該句的意思是“科學(xué)家說(shuō)有時(shí)候人長(zhǎng)期不能吃到足夠的食物，他們的皮膚會(huì)變蒼白也可能變?yōu)榫G色。”所以，D句是正確的。故答案為D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)本文第十四行和第十五行"It looks like a dinosaur, with a very long neck and a small head. It has a big bump(腫塊)on its back. "可得知“它看起來(lái)像一只恐龍，有著長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的鼻子和小小的頭。它的背上還有一個(gè)大腫塊。”再根據(jù)圖片，故答案為C。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第十六行" Scientists don’t know whether there is a monster or not."該句得知選項(xiàng)A 是對(duì)的。由文章第九行"It’s a very deep and cold lake."該句可得知尼斯湖水并不溫暖。所以B選項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)的。由文章第十五和十六行"People have tried to photograph the animal, but the pictures have not been very clear."得知“人們?cè)噲D拍這個(gè)動(dòng)物的照片，但是拍下的照片都不是很清晰”，重點(diǎn)在not這個(gè)詞，所以選項(xiàng)C也是錯(cuò)的。文章倒數(shù)三行的"Some say it may be a whale or a very large fish. Some think it’s a snake. Others say there’s nothing at all— nothing but people’s imagination. Maybe we’ll never know what’s in Loch Ness."該句可譯為“有人說(shuō)它可能是一只鯨魚(yú)或一條很大的魚(yú)。有人認(rèn)為它是一條蛇。其他人說(shuō)根本什么都沒(méi)有，只是人們的想象�？赡芪覀儗⒂肋h(yuǎn)不知道尼斯湖里有什么。”所以選項(xiàng)D也是錯(cuò)誤的，故答案為A。
