解析

试题分析:本文讲述了国王阿克巴有个好猜谜的习惯。经常让他的大臣们猜谜并热衷于那些奇怪的谜语。有一次他问了一个非常奇怪的问题,这时伯巴勒走进了大殿。伯巴勒知道国王这个猜谜的习惯。在国王问城市里有多少只乌鸦时,伯巴勒机智地作出了回答。国王很满意他的这个答案。
小题1:考查名词及语境的理解。宾语questions提示和动词ask构成动宾关系,表示“问问题”,B、C为动词,两个动词连用应该用动词不定式,跟名词advice时,ask后须跟介词for。 故选A
小题2:考查形容词及语境的理解。前文had to “不得不”,提示下文用形容词clever表示“明智的;聪明的”。故选C
小题3:考查引导词及语境的理解。下文“他的臣民们低下头寻找答案”可知前文是时间状语从句,用as引导时间状语从句表示“当……时候”。故选D
小题4:考查动词及语境的理解。根据下句“他立刻明白了当前的形势”可知上文是伯巴勒“知道”国王猜谜的习惯。用动词knew表示“知道;了解”。故选A
小题5:考查名词及语境的理解。承接上文“他了解国王的习惯”,说明他明白当时的“形势”,用situation表示“情况;形势”。故选D
小题6:考查动词及语境的理解。动词try 和for连用,try for 表示“谋求;尝试”,和answer构成动宾关系,表示“寻找一个答案”。故选C
小题7:考查介词及语境的理解。下文他立刻说出了一个具体数字,和even“甚至”的提示意义说明上文是“甚至没有经过片刻的思索”,用介词without表示“无;没有”,表示否定意义。故选B
小题8:考查形容词和语境的理解。对于他说出的具体数字,根据常理,国王是询问“你如何能这么确信?”be sure表示“确信的;有把握的”。故选D
小题9:考查动词和语境的理解。承接上文,伯巴勒回答国王的问题是“让你的臣民们数一下”,用动词count表示“数”,和上面的数字对应。 故选C
小题10:考查形容词和语境的理解。综合这两句话的意义“如果多了就是有来走亲戚的;如果少了,是去走亲戚了”可以推断空格处用fewer,表示“少”这一意义,和上句的more对应。 故选A

Once there was a child ready to be born. So he asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”
God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will take care of you.” But the child wasn’t sure he really wanted to go. “But here I don’t do anything else but sing and smile, that’s enough for me to be happy.”
“Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”
“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, ”the child continued,”if I don’t know the language that men talk? ”
God patted (轻怕)him on the head and said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear.Your angel will teach you how to speak. ”
“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”
But God had an answer for that question too. “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray(祈祷). ”
“I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men,who will protect me? ”
“Your angel will defend(保卫)you even if it means risking her life! ”
“But I will always be sad because I will not see you any more, ”the child continued warily.
God smiled on the young one. “Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you how to come back to me, even though I will always be with you.”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon. He asked God one more question, softly, “God, please tell me my angel’s name.”

When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelons were expensive. One of my father"s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.
  Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie"s place. We’d sit on the edge of the dock (码头), feet dangling (摇晃), and got ready for a big meal. Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we"d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, and most seed-free part — and throw away the rest.
  Bernie was my father"s ideal of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie"s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
  What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don"t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.
  For many years, I forgot that lesson I"d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.
Well, I"ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That"s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.
小题1:We learn from the second paragraph the writer and his father were feeling_____.
A.hungryB.worriedC.relaxedD.proud
小题2:How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?

A.was just a rich businessman
B.worked hard all the time
C.lived a rich but healthy life
D.knew how to make money

A.the writer"s hope of enjoying life
