Question

【题目】 There was a beautiful garden. Every year the king would go to the garden to decide which flower was the most beautiful one.

【1】题意：从本文中我们可以知道，Junglee是___________。

细节理解题。根据原文第3段Junglee wasn’t more beautiful than Gulaab, but it welcomed the birds to stay on its flower可知，Junglee不比Gulaab美丽，但对鸟儿们却很友善。C选项friendly“友好的”符合题意，故选C。

【2】题意：画线单词“arrogant”的中文意思是？

词句猜测题。根据下文It would never let birds stay on its flower. Then all the birds started staying away from Gulaab可知，它决不让鸟儿停留在它的花朵上，然后所有鸟儿开始疏远了它，可推断Gulaab在几年都获得“王花”的荣誉后，变得傲慢了起来，arrogant在本句中意为“傲慢的”。A选项“傲慢的”符合题意，故选A。

【3】题意：你认为本文是什么？
