Question

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.

Answer 1

【小題1】B
【小題2】C
【小題3】D
【小題4】C
【小題5】A

解析【小題1】 該問(wèn)題是問(wèn)“在這個(gè)節(jié)目中談?wù)摰氖鞘裁捶N類的故事”。選項(xiàng)A為浪漫故事；選項(xiàng)B為神秘的事；選項(xiàng)C為恐怖的事；選項(xiàng)D為喜劇。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，答案應(yīng)為B。該題主要考察學(xué)生的詞匯知識(shí)。
【小題2】該問(wèn)題是問(wèn)“故事是發(fā)生在哪里”。由文章第二行的"British stories"可知是發(fā)生在英國(guó)的故事。選項(xiàng)A是加拿大國(guó)旗，選項(xiàng)B是韓國(guó)國(guó)旗，選項(xiàng)C是英國(guó)國(guó)旗，選項(xiàng)D 是美國(guó)國(guó)旗。所以答案應(yīng)為C。此題考察了學(xué)生對(duì)英美文化的了解。
【小題3】該問(wèn)題是問(wèn)“關(guān)于這兩個(gè)綠孩子，哪一句的說(shuō)法是正確的”。本小題主要參考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。此題考察學(xué)生的綜合閱讀能力，做題是要注意細(xì)節(jié)。
【小題4】該問(wèn)題是問(wèn)“根據(jù)目擊者所言，尼斯湖水怪是什么樣子的”。可根據(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，答案應(yīng)該是C。此題考察學(xué)生的閱讀理解能力，講理解的文字轉(zhuǎn)化為圖形。
【小題5】該問(wèn)題是問(wèn)“從第二篇文章我們可得知什么”。選項(xiàng)A意為“科學(xué)家仍然不確定在尼斯湖里是否有一個(gè)怪物”此題可由文章第十六行" Scientists don’t know whether there is a monster or not."該句得知選項(xiàng)A 是對(duì)的。選項(xiàng)B 意為“在蘇格蘭的尼斯湖是一個(gè)很深和溫暖的湖”，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。選項(xiàng)C意為“人們拍到過(guò)尼斯湖水怪清晰的照片”，可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。選項(xiàng)D的意思是“事實(shí)上尼斯湖水怪是一個(gè)鯨魚或一條蛇”。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)它可能是一只鯨魚或一條很大的魚。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。可能我們將永遠(yuǎn)不知道尼斯湖里有什么。”所以選項(xiàng)D 也是錯(cuò)誤的說(shuō)法。該題考察學(xué)生的綜合閱讀能力。
