Question

Once there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was said that the island would go down, so all made boats and left except Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to offer her help until the last possible moment. When the island had almost gone down, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a great boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”
Sadness was close by, so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you .” “Oh, Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even notice when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. Love was so excited that she even forgot to ask who the elder was. So Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only Time understands how valuable Love is.”

试题分析：这篇短文通过一个有关七情六欲的语言故事，告诉我们爱心才是最珍贵的。
1.根据第一段One day it was said that the island would go down, 描述，可知选B。
2.英语中反义疑问的回答只依据事实，不管是问句是肯定形式还是否定形式。回答时，一般首先要做出肯定或者否定的回答。其形式一般为：肯定回答:Yes, +主语(通常是代词)+助动词；否定回答:No, +主语(通常是代词)+ 助动词 not.(的缩写形式).注意助动词和人称代词人称与数上同问句保持一致。根据Sadness was close by, so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you .” “Oh, Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”可知本句事实是肯定的，故用肯定结构回答，选A。
3.根据Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even notice when Love called her.描述，可知选B。
4.根据最后一段“Who helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. 描述，可知选D。
