题目内容
There was once a famous king whose name was Tamerlane. Like Alexander the Great, he _36__ to become the master of the whole world. So he raised a great _37__ and made war on other countries. He conquered(征服，打败） many kings and __38__ many cities. But at last his army was beaten; and Tamerlane escaped alone from the field of __39__ .
For a long time he wandered in __40__ from place to place. His enemies were __41__ him. He was about to lose all hope.
One day he was __42__ under a tree, thinking of his failure. He had now been a wanderer for twenty days. He couldn’t __43___ any longer. Suddenly he saw a small object climbing up the trunk (树干) of the tree. He looked more __44__ and saw it was an ant, __45__ a grain of wheat（麦粒）as large as itself.
There was a __46__ in the tree only a little way above, and that was the home of the ant.
“You are __47__, Mr. Ant,” he said, “but you are carrying something that is too heavy for you.” Just as he __48__, the ant lost its footing and fell to the ground. But it __49__ held on to the grain of wheat. Tamerlane _50__ the little insect. It tried the second time, the third time ... the twentieth time — but always with the same __51__. Then it tried the twenty-first time. __52__, one little step at a time, it climbed across the rough place where it had __53__ so often. The next minute it climbed __54__ into its home, carrying the grain of wheat. “Well done!” said Tamerlane, “you’ve taught me a lesson. I, too, will try, try again, __55__ I succeed.”
And this he did.

解析试题分析：文章讲述了一位战败的国王在一直蚂蚁的鼓励之下，重振雄风获得成功的故事，告诉我们人生贵在坚持。
【小题1】D 像亚历山大大帝一样想统治整个世界, 这是帖木儿的梦想。故此处选wished。
【小题2】C 根据本空后war推断, 帖木儿集结了一支庞大的军队(army), 然后与各国交战。
【小题3】A 与本空前conquered并列:他征服了许多国王, 摧毁了(burned)很多城邦。
【小题4】B 由前一句他的军队被打败了可知, 他只身一人从战场(battle)上逃离了。
【小题5】D 名词辨析：A. peace和平 B. relief宽慰 C. puzzlement困惑D. fear恐惧，根据上文描写他的失败，这里是害怕的，in fear。
【小题6】B 他战败了, 他的敌人自然会到处搜寻(looking for)他, 所以他惊恐地(in fear)东躲西藏。
【小题7】A 从本空后thinking of his misfortunes可以推断:他没有做其他事, 只是躺(lying)在树下思考。
【小题8】C 他独自一人东躲西藏了二十多天, 应该处于崩溃的边缘, 所以不能坚持(hold out)下去了。
【小题9】D 他一开始只是看到一只小东西在树干上爬, 他仔细(closely)一看, 发现是只小蚂蚁。
【小题10】B 由倒数第二段出现的carrying the grain of wheat可知, 这只蚂蚁搬着(carrying)一粒跟它一样大小的麦粒往上爬。
【小题11】A 由本空后home判断:树干上的一个小洞(hole)就是蚂蚁的窝。
【小题12】C 此处是说蚂蚁太勇敢了。
【小题13】D 此处指当他说这番话时。
【小题14】B 由But一词可知, 尽管它从树上掉了下来, 但它仍然(still)抓着那粒小麦。
【小题15】A 上下文就是他所观察到的(watched)情况。
【小题16】C 由下文蚂蚁进行第二十一次尝试后终于成功可知, 它前面所进行的二十次尝试的结果(result)都一样——掉在了地上。
【小题17】C 从下文的one little step at a time可知是slowly，慢慢地。
【小题18】D 由one little step at a time可推测, 它慢慢地(slowly)跨过了那个经常让它掉下来的(fallen)坎。上文fell有提示。
【小题19】B 最后, 它安全地(safely)爬进了蚂蚁窝。
【小题20】A 蚂蚁坚持的精神深深鼓舞了帖木儿, 所以他决定像蚂蚁一样, 去努力奋斗, 直到(till)成功。
