Answer 1

【答案】

【1】 cut under

【2】 full of

【3】Cao Cao was （very）happy/satisfied/pleased with his son.

【4】Zhuge Liang's

【5】Cao Cao/Cao Chong/Zhuge Liang/Sun Quan（任选两个）

【解析】

短文大意：短文介绍了“曹冲称象”和“草船借箭”两个历史故事。

【1】考查句意理解。A句句意：因为没有足够大的秤，一些士兵建议他把大象切开。根据下文But Cao Cao didn't want to kill the elephant. 但是曹操不想杀死大象，可知士兵建议曹操把大象切成一块一块的来称，cut up切割，故填cut。

E句句意：曹操的士兵听到了声音，他们以为自己受到了攻击。根据下文Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows towards the sounds of the drums and the shouting.可知曹军以为自己受到了攻击，under attack遭到攻击，故填under。

【2】句意：船上装满了石头。考查词义理解。be filled with充满，义同be full of；根据句意结构，可知填(1). full (2). of。

【3】对非常满意be very satisfied/pleased with；他的儿子生his son。考查细节理解。根据句意结构和短文时态可知是一般过去时，Cao Cao是单数第三人称，系词需用was，故填Cao Cao was（very）happy/satisfied/pleased with his son.。

【4】句意：他让士兵们把20艘大船上装满稻草人。考查词义理解。根据主语he可知指的是诸葛亮，本句需用所有格，故填Zhuge Liang's。

【5】考查细节理解。根据短文内容，介绍的是“曹冲称象”和“草船借箭”两个历史故事，其中的人物都是历史人物，可知填Cao Cao/Cao Chong/Zhuge Liang/Sun Quan。

本题是两则历史故事，都来源于教材，整体难度不大。填词题考的都是固定搭配；同义句改写也是老生常谈：充满 be filled with= be full of；翻译题的短语“对……满意”也是高频短语，翻译注意时态即可。
