Question

15．Before the law sits a gatekeeper．To this gatekeeper comes a man from the country who asks to gain entry into the law．But the gatekeeper says that he cannot grant him entry at the moment．The man thinks about it and then asks if he will be allowed to come in sometime later on．"It is possible，"says the gatekeeper，"but not now．"The gate to the law stands open，as always，and the gatekeeper walks to the side，so the man bends over in order to see through the gate into the inside．When the gatekeeper notices that，he laughs and says："If it tempts you so much，try going inside in spite of my prohibition．But take note．I am powerful．And I am only the most lowly gatekeeper．But from room to room stand gatekeepers，each more powerful than the other．I cannot endure even one  glimpse of the third．"
The man from the country has not expected such difficulties：the law should always be accessible for everyone，he thinks，but as he now looks more closely at the gatekeeper in his fur coat，at his large pointed nose and his long，thin，black Tartar's beard，he decides that it would be better to wait until he gets permission to go inside．The gatekeeper gives him a stool and allows him to sit down at the side in front of the gate．There he sits for days and years．He makes many attempts to be let in，and he wears the gatekeeper out with his requests．The gatekeeper often interrogates him briefly，questioning him about his homeland and many other things，but they are indifferent questions，the kind great men put，and at the end he always tells him once more that he cannot let him inside yet．The man，who has equipped himself with many things for his journey，spends everything，no matter how valuable，to win over the gatekeeper．The latter takes it all but，as he does so，says，"I am taking this only so that you do not think you have failed to do anything．"
During the many years the man observes the gatekeeper almost continuously．He forgets the other gatekeepers，and this first one seems to him the only barrier for entry into the law．He curses the unlucky circumstance，in the first years thoughtlessly and out loud； later，as he grows old，he only mumbles to himself．He becomes childish and，since in the long years studying the gatekeeper he has also come to know the fléas （ PZ） in his fur collar，he even asks the fleas to help him persuade the gatekeeper．Finally his eyesight grows weak，and he does not know whether things are really darker around him or whether his eyes are merely deceiving him．But he recognizes now in the darkness a ray of light which breaks out of the gateway to the law．Now he no longer has much time to live．
Before his death he gathers in his head all his experiences of the entire time up into one question which he has not yet put to the gatekeeper．He waves to him，since he can no longer lift up his stiffening body．The gatekeeper has to bend way down to him，for the great difference has changed things considerably to the disadvantage of the man．"You are insatiable （不知足的）．"^t "Everyone strives after the law，"says the man，"so how is it that in these many years no one except　me has requested entry？"The gatekeeper sees that the man is already dying and，in order to reach his diminishing sense of hearing，he shouts at him，"Here no one else can gain entry，since this entrance was assigned only to you．I'm going now to close it．"

Answer 1

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读，作者主要通过这篇文章向我们讲述了老实巴交的乡下人想要进入法则之门，但一直被守门人阻拦，在法律门前直到死亡，最后也没有进入大门的故事．

解答 65．C．细节理解题．从本文中的老实巴交的农民的农现：不敢进入大门，被守门人唬住．说明他不勇敢．也看不出荒唐，更看不出值得信赖，而忍耐力十足，且从他一生执意要进入这个大门可以看出这个人的固执，故选C．
66．B．句意推断题．划线部分的大意是：如果你这样感兴趣．就努力进去，不必得到我的允许，不过，我提醒你．我力气很大．而且我只是守门人中最微小的一个．里面穿门过户，每一座大厅前都有守门人站岗，一个比一个更加强大．就书那第三个守门人把，我都不敢去看一眼他的样子，可知进入法律的大门这几乎是不可能的；故选B．
67．C．推理判断题．前后逻辑有缺失，原文：The gatekeeper has to bend way down to him，for the great difference has changed things considerably to the disadvantage of the man．"You are insatiable （不知足的）"译文：守门人不得不把身子俯得很低才能听済他的话，因为他们之间的身高差距増加了很多，乡下人愈发显得矮小，"你现在还想知道什么？"守门人问进，"你真是不知满足．故选C．
68．B．推理判断题．通读全文，可知这个乡下人最终并也进入大门，可知从国人所做的一切努力都是徒劳的；故选B．
69．A．细节理解题．根据第一段第二句To this gatekeeper comes a man from the country who asks to gain entry into the law．可知这个乡下人要进入大门，目的在于探索里面的世界；故选A．
70．A．主旨大意题．通读全文，可知文章主要讲老实巴交的乡下人想要进入法则之门，但一直被守门人阻拦，在法律门前直到死亡，最后也没有进入大门的故事．因此最合适的标题为法律门前；故选A．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
