Question

【题目】 There is a fairy tale as follows:

An unhappy horse went to see the God. “My God! Thanks for making me but I want to be more beautiful.” The God was very surprised. “You are already beautiful.”

“No, I am not beautiful enough,” the horse lowered her head. “I don’t know how to make you more beautiful,” the God wondered. “Tell me what you want to be like.”

The horse raised her voice, “If you can make my neck a little longer, my upper body will be more beautiful. And if you can make my legs much thinner, then I will look more beautiful in my lower body.”

Then the God made a camel appear in place of the horse. “Oh, God. I want to become more beautiful. Am I more beautiful now?” asked the horse anxiously.

The God got angry, “This is what you asked for. You have become a camel.”

【解析】

短文讲了一匹马去见上帝，希望上帝把她变得漂亮一点。她想要更长的脖子，更细的腿。结果上帝把她变成了骆驼，反而更丑了。上帝要她不要要求太多，如果要求太多，就难以预料结果了。

【1】细节理解题。根据“My God! Thanks for making me but I want to be more beautiful.”马去见上帝，要求上帝把自己变的更漂亮。可知，它请求更好看的外表。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据“The horse raised her voice, “If you can make my neck a little longer, my upper body will be more beautiful. And if you can make my legs much thinner, then I will look more beautiful in my lower body.””马提高了声音，“如果你能让我的脖子长一点，我的上身会更漂亮。如果你能让我的腿更细，那么我的下半身会更漂亮。”可知，它想要有长脖子和细腿。故选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据“Then the God made a camel appear in place of the horse.”可知，然后上帝让一只骆驼代替马出现。故选A。

【4】细节理解题。根据“The God was very surprised. “You are already beautiful.””上帝很惊讶。“你已经很漂亮了。”可知，在上帝的眼里，这匹马很漂亮。因此A不对；根据“The God got angry, “This is what you asked for. You have become a camel.””上帝生气了，“这就是你要的。你变成了骆驼。”可知，上帝没有让马变得更漂亮。因此B错误；根据“No, I am not beautiful enough,” the horse lowered her head.”“不，我不够漂亮，”马低下了头。可知，那匹马认为她不够漂亮。因此C正确。故选C。

【5】主旨大意题。根据“The God said, “Never try to get more than I have given you. If you want more and more, you won’t know what the result will be.””上帝说：“永远不要试图得到比我给你更多的东西。如果你想要的越来越多，你就不知道结果会怎样。”可知，作者想告诉人们的是不要过于贪婪的追求美好事物。故选B。

细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于中考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。本文的1、2、3、4四个小题是细节理解题。做细节题具体方法与步骤如下：

（1）略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。

（2）按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词，如for example，first，second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。

（3）将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上，快速通篇跳读，眼睛自左至右，自上而下呈Z形扫视，直到找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。
