题目内容
14．Once upon a time，a powerful king commanded his men （61）to build（build） a public arena where crime was punished or innocence（无罪） was decided．When a person （62）was accused （accuse） of a crime，his future would be judged in the public arena．Usually the king sat high up on his chair．He gave（63）a sign and a door under him opened．The accused person stepped out into the arena．Opposite the king（64）were （be） two doors．The person on trial（审判） had to walk（65）directly （direct） to these doors and open one of them．He could open whichever door he pleased．If the accused man opened one door，out came a hungry tiger，the（66）fiercest （fierce）（凶猛的） in the land．The tiger immediately jumped on him and tore him into pieces as （67）punishment （punish） for his guilt．The case of the suspect was thus decided．（68）However，if the accused opened the other door，there came a woman．To this lady he was immediately married，in honor of his innocence．
This was the king's method of （69）carrying （carry） out justice．Its fairness appeared perfect．The accused person could not know which door was hiding the lady．He opened either as he pleased，without knowing （70）whether he was to be killed or married．
分析 本文主要讲述从前一个国王命令人修建一快公共场地，然后在场地上审判犯人．让犯人打开两扇门中的任何一扇都可以，其中一扇门里关着饥饿的老虎，让老虎撕成碎片吃掉以惩罚犯人；另一扇门里是一个女人，打开后必须马上和她结婚，以示无罪．这就是国王执行正义的方法．
解答 61．to build 考查动词不定式．order sb．to do sth．意为"命令某人做某事"，动词不定式作宾语补足语．
62．was accused 考查动词时态和语态．accuse sb．of意为"指控某人某事"，a person与accuse之间是动宾关系，要用被动语态，且事情发生在过去，用一般过去时的被动语态．且主语是第三人称单数，用was accused．
63．a 考查冠词．sign是可数名词，单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指．
64．were 考查主谓一致．本句为倒装句，主语two doors是复数，谓语动词也用复数形式were．
65．directly 考查副词．动词walk是动词，修饰动词用副词形式．
66．fiercest 考查形容词最高级．空格后"in the land"表示范围和空格前的"the"可以判断出用最高级，表示"世上最凶猛的"．
67．punishment 考查名词．as是介词，后用名词形式．
68．However 考查副词．however表示转折，尤其用于谈及一个既成事实时，表示转折，其意为"可是""仍然"等．可放在句首、句中或句末，通常用逗号与句子其他成分隔开．
69．carrying 考查动名词．介词of后接动词时要用动名词形式．
70．whether 考查固定搭配．whether…or…意为"是…还是…； 或者…或者…"，是固定搭配．
