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.”

1.What would happen to the island?

A.Because Happiness didn’t like Love.

C.Because her boat was so small that she couldn’t take Love with her.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文中作者主要讲述了一则寓言故事，在一个岛屿上住着各种“情感”，当岛屿快要下沉时除了love都各自逃命去了，当love在最后一刻向他们求助时，都各自顾着自己的财宝或生命而不顾他的死活，最终还是time了解他，知道他的珍贵，并挽救了他的生命。

1.推理判断题。根据短文第一段One day it was said that the island would go down一句可知这座岛屿即将就要下沉了，故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据短文第四段内容可知sadness拒绝了love的请求，故sadness经过love时看到他了，题干是一个反义疑问句，回答时“yes，he did”意为“不他看到了”，和汉语有所差异，B和D这种自相矛盾的说法在英语中是不存在的；故选A。

3.推理判断题。根据短文第五段Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even notice when Love called her.内容可知，他太开心了，所以没有听到love向他求助的声音，故选B。

4.细节理解题。根据短文第六段love和另一位老人knowledge的对话So Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?” “It was Time,”可知，挽救他生命的是time，故选D。

5.猜测词义题。根据短文最后一句Because only Time understands how valuable Love is可知只有时间才能理解爱是多么宝贵，其他的“人”都各自逃命去了，不管love的死活，而他却一直坚持自己的信仰；所以他的毅力是珍贵的；故选B。

考点：教育类短文阅读。
