Question

【题目】 Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son. He had never seen suchbeautifulfalcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.

After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly, just keeping still.

The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.

The next morning, the king saw theother falcon flying above in the sky freely. “It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. How could you make it happen?”

The farmer replied, “It’s very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”

It is always the same to human beings. We all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we just for safety and comfort. We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】He ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.

【2】A farmer.

【3】We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.

【解析】

本文讲述了国王得到了两只猎鹰，让最好的训鹰人训练它们。一只猎鹰飞得非常好，但是另一只停在树枝上不飞。国王让一位生活在森林里的农民训练它。这位农民把那只猎鹰栖息的树枝都砍掉后，它就飞起来了。这个故事告诉我们，直到让我们休息和舒适的“树枝”断了，我们才意识到我们拥有能自由飞翔的“翅膀”。

【1】根据“He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.”可知，这个国王得到那两只猎鹰后，命令最好的训鹰人训练它们。故填He ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.

【2】根据“He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once. ”和“The next morning, the king saw theother falcon flying above in the sky freely.”可知，最后是一位农民让另一只猎鹰在空中飞翔。故填A farmer.

【3】根据“We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.”从这个故事中，我们可知，直到我们休息的“树枝”断了，我们才意识到我们能飞得这么高，这么自由。故填We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.

这是一篇记叙文，短文讲述了一位农民训练猎鹰飞翔的故事，从中我们明白了，如果把我们休息的“树枝”砍掉，我们才意识到我们能自由高飞。文章叙述清晰，内容容易理解。题型是任务型阅读，要求根据文意回答问题，考查学生们对文章细节的理解。做题时，先通读短文，了解大意；然后根据题目所问，锁定短文相关句子，用简洁、概括的语言作答。例如第1小题，根据疑问词What可知询问做的事，注意文章中的动词；再根据关键词falcons在原文定位答案。
