When a man was walking by some elephants, he suddenly stopped. He was wondering why these huge animals 1 by a small rope tied to their front legs. It was 2 doubt that the elephants could break the rope at any time, but for some 3, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why the animals just4 there and made no effort to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they were very young and much smaller, we used the same rope 5 them from running away. At that age, it’s enough to hold them. 6 they grow up, they all believe that they cannot break the rope. They believe it can still hold 7, so they never try to break free.”

The man was8. These animals could break free whenever they wanted, but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right by the same rope 9 caught them at young ages.

How many of us go through life like the elephants—holding onto the belief that we cannot do something 10 because we failed at it once before?

Failure is a part of learning. If we failed once, it doesn’t mean we can never succeed. We should never give up trying when we encounter failures in life.

【解析】這篇短文給我們講述了一個故事,一個人看到很多大象被一根小細(xì)繩子控制著,他們可以很容易的掙脫,但是他們卻沒有。原來在他們小的時候,就用這個繩子控制他們,那個時候他們不能掙脫,等他們長大了,他們?nèi)匀灰詾樽约簾o法掙脫。

1句意:他想知道為什么這些巨大的動物被一條系到他們前腿上的小繩子控制。根據(jù)下文At that age, it’s enough to hold them.可知,在大象小的時候,就用這樣的繩子去控制他們。由此可知這里應(yīng)用hold這個單詞,這是一個動詞,拿,握住,控制。這句話的主語huge animals和動詞hold構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系,并且這里說的動作在那個時候是正在發(fā)生的,故用過去進行時的被動語態(tài),填were being held。

2句意:毫無疑問大象隨時都可以掙脫繩子,但是因為一些原因,他們沒有。without沒有,是一個介詞,短語without doubt毫無疑問。根據(jù)下文These animals could break free whenever they wanted可知,大象可以弄斷繩子,這是很顯然的,故填without,沒有。

3句意:毫無疑問大象隨時都可以掙脫繩子,但是因為一些原因,他們沒有。reason理由,原因,for some reasons因為一些原因。根據(jù)文意可知,大象可以弄斷繩子,但是因為一些原因,他們沒有,這個原因在下文中做出了介紹。

4句意:他在附近看到一個訓(xùn)練師,然后問這些動物為什么就站在那兒,而不努力地跑掉呢?根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,這個空應(yīng)填一個謂語動詞,而根據(jù)文意和常識可知,那些大象應(yīng)該只是站在那里,故用動詞stand,全文使用的是一般過去時態(tài),這里應(yīng)填過去式stood。

5句意:當(dāng)他們很小的時候,我們使用相同的繩子來阻止他們逃跑。這里使用的句型是keep sb. from doing sth.阻止某人做某事,根據(jù)文意可知,用繩子把大象的腿捆起來,是為了防止他們逃跑。這里填動詞不定式在句中作目的狀語,故填to keep。

6句意:當(dāng)他們長大的時候,他們還是認(rèn)為他們不能弄斷繩子。as當(dāng)時候,是一個連詞,引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句,符合句意。

7句意:他們認(rèn)為繩子依然能夠控制他們,因此他們從不試圖掙脫。根據(jù)句意可知,這里說的是大象長大的時候,還是認(rèn)為繩子能夠控制他們,這里的they代指的是elephants,空前是動詞hold,這里應(yīng)用賓格形式,故填them。

8句意:這個人很吃驚。根據(jù)下句話These animals could break free whenever they wanted, but because they believed they couldn’t可知,這些大象不掙脫繩子,僅僅是因為他們認(rèn)為他們不能做到,因此這個人覺得很吃驚。surprise是動詞,使吃驚,這個空前是was系動詞,因此應(yīng)填形容詞形式作表語。surprised感到吃驚的,修飾人。

9句意:他們還是被他們小的時候束縛他們的繩子給困住了。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,這里是一個定語從句,先行詞是the same rope,定語從句中缺少主語,故應(yīng)填which,這是一個關(guān)系代詞,先行詞為物,引導(dǎo)定語從句,在從句中作主語或賓語。

10句意:我們中有多少人過著像大象一樣的生活—堅持認(rèn)為我們不能做到某件事,只是因為我們曾經(jīng)失敗過一次。simple是形容詞,簡單的,這個空是來修飾后面的狀語從句的,應(yīng)用副詞形式simply,僅僅,簡單地。

【題目】I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”

At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, snatched the phone, tore off the wires (電線), and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.

I stood watching her, speechless, what on earth…?

She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All things in this room — if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go! ”

Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.

After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood (情緒) had changed. I was laughing. How could she have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.

1Why did the writer shout, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are”?

A. He was impatient with the phone.

B. He was impatient with the secretary.

C. He was mad at the telephone.

D. He was angry with his agent.

2The underlined word “antics" means _________.

A. surprising looks

B. sweet kisses and smart words

C. strange and funny behavior

D. reliable suggestion

3We can infer (推測) from the passage that _________.
