Question

【题目】 The Fisherman climbs down the mountain. "Don't send me away. Please, don't send me away!" the Fisherman's Soul calls to him.

"Send me away with your heart," the Soul speaks again.

"How can I love my Mermaid with no heart?" replies the Fisherman.

"Be kind," says the Soul. "Give me your heart."

"My heart is for my Mermaid. Go!"

"Can I not also love?" the Soul tries again.

"Go! You are not important to me," cries the Fisherman. He takes the little knife and he cuts his shadow away from his feet.

"Go!" says the Fisherman. "I don't want to see you again."

"No," replies the Soul. "I want to meet you again."

"Every year I can come back to this place," says the Soul. "I can call you and you can come."

文章来自于王尔德的童话，讲述渔夫送走自己灵魂的故事。渔夫的影子是他的灵魂。渔夫拿起小刀，把影子从脚上划开，跳入水中和小美人鱼在一起。

【1】细节理解题。根据前文“My love is calling me.”及后文“…the little Mermaid comes to meet him.”可知，应是小美人鱼。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据“He takes the little knife and he cuts his shadow away from his feet.”可知，渔夫用小刀把影子从脚上划开，从身上割下来。故选C。

【3】推理判断题。选项A意思是“海神不喜欢灵魂见到小美人鱼”，文章未提及，故A不正确；根据“"Be kind," says the Soul. "Give me your heart."”可知，渔夫的心对灵魂也很重要，故B正确；根据“The shadow is the same size as the Fisherman.”可知，灵魂和渔夫一样大，故C正确；根据“"OK," replies the Fisherman. "I can come."”可知，灵魂仍然可以再看到渔夫，故D正确。故选A。

【4】主旨大意题。通读全文，主要讲述渔夫为了和心爱的小美人鱼在一起，艰难地送走自己灵魂的故事。故选D。
