Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，简略回答所提出的问题。

Once upon a time, there was a king. He only had one leg and one eye, but he was very smart and kind. Everyone lived a happy and healthy life because of the king. One day, the king was walking through the palace hallway and saw the paintings of his ancestors（祖先）.He thought that one day his children would also walk in the same hallway and remember all the ancestors through these paintings. He wanted his children to remember him, too. So he invited many famous artists to his palace.

All of the artists began to think about the king's physical disabilities（生理缺陷）. How could his painting be made very beautiful? It was not possible. They weren't sure what his painting would be like. So one by one, they all started to politely refuse to make a painting of the king.

But suddenly one artist raised his hand and said he would make a very nice painting of the king. The king became happy hearing that. Then the artist started painting. After a long time, the painting was ready.

When the artist showed the painting, everyone was shocked. In the painting, the king was sitting on a horse, on the one-leg side, holding his bow (弓箭) and aiming (瞄准) something with his one eye closed. The king was very happy and gave him lots of money.

As we all know, no one is perfect. So we should try to focus on (关注) others’ advantages instead of their disadvantages. Just take an optimistic view (乐观的观点) of the event. Everyone can do a good job.

【解析】

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述有一个国王，他仅仅有一条腿和一只眼睛。一天，他让画家给他画画像，但是大部分人认为这是不可能的，因为他们只关注国王的缺点，但是有一个人自告奋勇，为国王画了一幅画，在这幅画中，这个画家规避了国王的一切缺点。这个故事告诉我们没有人是完美的，我们应该关注其他人的优点而不是缺点，对事情要有乐观的态度。

【1】细节理解题。根据One day, the king was walking through the palace hallway and saw the paintings of his ancestors可知，一天，这个国王走在宫殿走廊，看到了许多祖先的画，故填（The king/He saw )the paintings of his ancestors。

【2】细节理解题。根据He thought that one day his children would also walk in the same hallway and remember all the ancestors through these paintings. He wanted his children to remember him, too. So he invited many famous artists to his palace可知，他认为一天他的孩子也会走在相同的走廊记得所有这些画上的祖先。他也想要他的孩子们记住他。故填Because the king/he wanted his children to remember him (,too)。

【3】细节理解题。根据All of the artists began to think about the king's physical disabilities（生理缺陷）. How could his painting be made very beautiful? It was not possible. They weren't sure what his painting would be like. So one by one, they all started to politely refuse to make a painting of the king可知，所有的画家都在考虑国王的生理缺陷，如何让画变得漂亮？这个是不可能的，他们不确定他们的画是什么样子的。所以他们一个接着一个礼貌地拒绝为国王画画。由此可知，这是一个艰难的工作，故填It was a hard job./ A hard job。

【4】细节理解题。根据When the artist showed the painting, everyone was shocked. In the painting, the king was sitting on a horse, on the one-leg side, holding his bow (弓箭) and aiming (瞄准) something with his one eye closed. The king was very happy and gave him lots of money可知，当画家把画拿给大家看时，大家都惊呆了。在这幅画中，国王单腿坐在一匹马上，拿着弓，闭着一只眼睛瞄准什么东西。国王非常高兴，给了他很多钱。所以国王认为这幅画很好，故填It was nice/ perfect/ wonderful/ beautiful。

【5】主旨大意题。根据As we all know, no one is perfect. So we should try to focus on (关注) others’ advantages instead of their disadvantages. Just take an optimistic view (乐观的观点) of the event可知，没有人是完美的，我们应该尝试着关注其他人的优点而不是缺点，对事情要有乐观的态度。故填We should try to focus on others' advantages instead of their disadvantages./ We should take an optimistic view of the event。
