Question

【题目】

High above the city, stood the statue (雕像) of the Happy Prince. He was covered all over with thin leaves of fine gold, for eyes he had two bright sapphires (蓝宝石), and a large red ruby (红宝石) on his clothes.

One day, a Swallow (燕子) arrived at the city and stayed between the feet of the Happy Prince. But just as he was putting his head under his wings a large drop of water fell on him. “What is the use of a statue if it cannot keep the rain off?” he said. Then he looked up and saw the eyes of the Happy Prince were filled with tears, and tears were running down his golden face. His face was so beautiful in the moonlight that the little Swallow was filled with pity.

“Who are you?” he said. “I am the Happy Prince.”

“Why are you weeping then?” asked the Swallow.

“When I was alive and had a human heart,” answered the statue, “I did not know what tears were, for I lived in a palace. In the daytime I played with my friends in the garden, and in the evening I danced in the Great Hall. Everyone called me the Happy Prince, and happy indeed I was. So I lived, and so I died. And now that I am dead they have set me up here so high that I can see all the ugly and terrible things of my city, and though my heart is made of lead ( 铅 ) yet I cannot choose but weep.”

【解析】

本文讲述了快乐王子曾经在宫殿里无忧无虑的生活，但是当他死后，人们把他建造成一个雕塑立在高处时，他看到了城市里丑陋糟糕的事情，这让他很悲伤。

【1】细节理解题。根据He was covered all over with thin leaves of fine gold“他浑身上下镶满了薄薄的黄金叶片”，可知，快乐王子的雕像是由金子所铸。故选C。

【2】词句猜测题。rain下雨；cry哭；talk交谈；smile微笑。根据前文Then he looked up and saw the eyes of the Happy Prince were filled with tears, and tears were running down his golden face“然后他抬头看到快乐王子的眼睛里充满了泪水，泪水流淌在他金色的脸庞上”，可知，燕子问快乐王子为什么哭，所以weep表示“哭泣”。故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据His face was so beautiful in the moonlight that the little Swallow was filled with pity中，so…that引导的是结果状语从句，可知，快乐王子的脸在夜光下如此的美丽，以至于这个小燕子充满了怜悯。故选C。

【4】细节理解题。根据I did not know what tears were, for I lived in a palace…happy indeed I was，可知，快乐王子曾经生活在一个宫殿里，白天跟朋友在花园里玩，晚上在礼堂里跳舞，每一天都过得非常开心，所以，他叫快乐王子的原因是他曾经在宫殿里过着开心的生活。故选A。

【5】细节理解题。根据And now that I am dead they have set me up here so high that I can see all the ugly and terrible things of my city“现在我死了，他们把我放的如此高，以至于我能看到城市里丑陋和糟糕的东西”，可知，快乐王子悲伤的原因是他看到了以前未曾看到的他城市里的黑暗的一面。故选B。

本文是一个记叙文。讲述了快乐王子死后，被人们铸成雕像放在高处，快乐王子看到城市里黑暗的一面的故事。短文主题明确，结构清晰。题型有细节理解题和词句猜测题。细节理解题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题，所以在做细节理解题时要结合原文和题干有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，再结合选项选出正确答案。例如第1题，根据文章第一段可得知，快乐王子雕像是由金子组成的，进而得出正确的选项。词义猜测类试题根据上下文理解某个词或某个短语。需要根据前后文进行比较对照，对它的定义(描述)以及举例进行猜测来得出答案。例如第2题，根据快乐王子和小燕子的对话可知，快乐王子是哭了，进而得出正确的选项。
