Ⅲ. 阅读理解

　　Once there was a man travelling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants，he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains（锁链）， no cages. It was clear that the elephants could，at any time，break away from their ropes but for some reason，they did not.

　　He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well，” the trainer said，“when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and，at that age，it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up，they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them，so they never try to break free. ”

　　How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they were always stuck right where they were，they believed they couldn’t.

　　Just like the elephants，how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something，just because we failed at it once before?

A. Failing is part of learning B. We should be different from others

C. Helping animals is helping ourselves D. Travelling always makes people relaxed

学后反思

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

当堂达标答案与解析：

Ⅰ. 1. B　by意为“在……旁边”；with意为“带有，具有”；under意为“在……下面”；against意为“反对；靠着”。句意：这儿有一栋带有一个有趣的花园的小房子。表示“带有，具有”，应用介词with。故选B。

2. B　arrive in/at意为“到达某地”，arrive in后跟大地点，arrive at后跟小地点，arrive不能与to或for搭配。由a beautiful village为小地点可知用arrive at。

3. A　in the tree指外来物在树上；on the tree指树本身长的东西在树上，如花、果实等。鸟儿不是树上长的东西，故用in the tree。苹果是树本身长的东西，故用on the tree。

4. C　句意：格林先生晚饭后总是在湖边散步。四个选项中只有by“在……旁边”符合实际情况及语境。

5. B 由答语“Because I was tired.（因为我很累）”可知上句是询问“你为什么停止打篮球了？”，应为why引导的特殊疑问句，故选B。

Ⅱ. 1. likes　复合不定代词everyone作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。

2. saw　根据时间状语last Sunday“上个星期天”可知，此句用一般过去时。see的过去式是saw。

3. played 由时间状语every day when I was in America可知，该空用一般过去时态，play的过去式为played。

4. to see　句意：上个月大明去上海看望他的祖父母了。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。

5. strangers 由空格前面的three可知，空格处需用名词复数形式，strange是形容词，其名词形式是stranger。

Ⅲ. 语篇解读：短文通过讲述大象在幼年时由于被绳子拴住，不能挣脱，而养成了对绳子惧怕的观念，虽然成年后拥有足够逃脱的能力，却从不采取任何行动的现象，这告诉我们不要因为曾经的失败而放弃斗争这一道理。

1. B　由短文第一段中的“Once there was a man travelling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants，he suddenly stopped.”可知答案选B。

2. A　由短文第二段中的“As they grow up，they still believe they cannot break away.（当它们长大后，它们仍相信它们不能挣脱）”可知选A。

3. B　moved“受感动的”；surprised“感到惊奇的”；angry“生气的”；nervous“紧张的”。短文第三段首句“How could it be?（怎么能那样？）”表现的是那个人的意外和惊讶，故选B。

4. A　由上文文意“我们中有多少人像大象一样，只是因为从前的失败就相信在生活中我们不能做一些事情”和空白后的句意“在生活中，我们绝不应该放弃斗争”可知空白处文意应该是讲述失败是学习的一部分，故A选项符合题意。

5. D　阅读全文可知，短文主要讲述的是大象与绳子之间存在的联系，并以此来告诫我们做事的道理，故选D。

Ⅳ. 语篇解读：本文是一则寓言故事。一个孩子撒谎说“狼来了！”骗人们前来帮他打狼。人们一连两次被骗，所以很生气。最后，狼真的来了，他拼命地哭喊，想让人们来帮他，但是人们认为他又在开玩笑，所以没有人去帮他。

1. doing　由句意“有一天他正在田地里干农活”可知本句为过去进行时，其构成为“was/were +动词的现在分词”。

2. suddenly　suddenly意为“突然”，在句中作状语。

3. wolf　由后文“... a wolf really came.”可知男孩喊“狼来了，请帮帮我”。

4. nothing　由后文“But again they found nothing.”可知，人们来了之后什么也没发现。

5. Then　句意：过了一会儿，男孩又喊，然后人们又过来了。then“然后，接着”，符合句意。

6. angry　人们受到男孩的两次愚弄，所以非常生气。

7. Finally　由后文可知，最后狼真的来了。

8. fell　男孩很怕狼，差点儿摔倒。fall down“摔倒”。时态应前后一致，故填fall的过去式fell。

9. because　此处表示原因，故用because引导原因状语从句。

10. once　once more“再次”。此处指人们都认为男孩又在开玩笑。
