Question

【題目】A

One day, five blind men were walking along, when suddenly they bumped into something very big in front of them. Each one put out his hand and touched it. The first man thought it was a tree — it was tall and round. The second man felt something tall and wide and rough(粗糙的) and said, ＂Aha! This must be a wall!＂ The third man touched a very long smooth thing. He guessed this was a spear(矛). Then the fourth man said, ＂I feel cool. There must be a fan up there. Oh, yes! Here it is!＂ He touched something big and round that was moving. What did the fifth man find? Well, he started shouting that he was being chased(追趕) by a snake.

Each man was sure he knew what he had touched, but they were wrong. They finally understood the mystery when the big thing attempted(嘗試) to move, and they felt silly because everything they had touched belonged to an elephant.

【解析】

【文章大意】這是一則寓言故事，講述的是盲人摸象的故事。盲人摸象的寓言含義：看事情要全面，整體，不要分割開來。此外，故事也告訴我們，要學(xué)會同伴合作，互相分享經(jīng)驗。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子＂The first man thought it was a tree — it was tall and round.＂像一棵樹，又高又圓，可推測是大象的腿，答案為A。

【2】 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子Then the fourth man said, ＂I feel cool. There must be a fan up there. Oh, yes! Here it is!＂大象的耳朵像風扇，故答案為D。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)短文中的句子Each one put out his hand and touched it. The first man thought it was a tree — it was tall and round.并列連詞and連接兩個謂語，應(yīng)為動詞形式，因為是盲人，靠觸覺感知，故答案為B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文中的句子＂What did the fifth man find? Well, he started shouting that he was being chased(追趕) by a snake.＂可知，第五位盲人摸到的不會是象牙，故答案為C。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文最后一句話＂and they felt silly because everything they had touched belonged to an elephant.＂可知，看待事情不能片面，要整體把握。故答案為C。
