Question

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful bird, which was very curious about hell. When she was little, her mother always told her that if she didn't master the flying skills, she would go to hell. She was so curious about hell that she always asked others what hell looked like, but no one was sure, because none of them had ever been there. Some said hell was a place full of water, and others told her that hell was full of burning fire. However, the bird knew they were lying. She wanted to find out what hell was.
When other birds were learning flying skills, she always hid herself and watched them. She thought in this way she could go to hell and see what hell looked like. However, she spent so little time learning flying skills that one day she was caught by a little boy. The little boy gave her to his grandpa in the countryside as a gift. The old man liked her very much. He made a delicate cage and put her in it. The bird was very worried because she thought she couldn't find out what hell was like staying in this small cage. However, she couldn't escape. Day after day, she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying. She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened the cage, but she was too weak to fly. Lying on the ground, she thought of the question that she ever asked all the time.
“What does hell look like?”

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）D
（2）C
（3）D
【解析】本文是一则寓言故事，讲述了一只漂亮的小鸟对地狱太好奇了以至于为了弄明白地狱到底是什么样子，它不学习飞行，最终它因为不会飞被抓住了从而失去了自由，并且最终因为担心待在笼子里找不到地狱停是什么样的留而死去。这则寓言故事最后告诉人们：地狱是一个装饰得很好的小笼子。

⑴词义猜测。联系前后文可知是母亲教育她：如果不掌握飞行技巧，就会下地狱。所以是“精通，掌握”之意，所以答案是D。

⑵细节理解。由文章第二段的前两句When other birds were learning flying skills, she always hid herself and watched them．She thought in this way she could go to hell and see what hell looked like．当其他鸟学飞行的时候，她总是躲起来，观看他们。她想这样的话她就可以去地狱，看看地狱是什么样子。所以答案是C。

⑶细节理解。由文章最后一段“Hell is a small well-decorated cage．”Before she closed her eyes forever, she finally answered that question herself．可知，这只小鸟死前终于明白地狱其实就是一个非常精致的小笼子。所以答案是D
