题文

A man died and was on his way to another world, either heaven (天堂) or hell (地狱). He saw an extremely grand palace half way and the owner of the palace asked him to stay and live in the palace. The man said, “I have been working hard during my life and now I just want to eat and sleep without any work.” The owner of the palace said, “If so, there is nowhere else better than here for you. There is plenty of seafood and delicacies (美味佳肴) in my palace, and you can eat whatever you like without anyone stopping you. And nothing needs to be done by you.” Then, the man settled down (安定) in the palace. At the beginning, the man felt very happy at the cycle of eating and sleeping. But gradually, he felt a bit lonely and void. So he went to the palace owner and said, “It is very bored to live by just eating and sleeping every day. Now I show no interest in this kind of life any more. Could you help me find a job?” The owner replied, “Sorry, there is no job here at all.” After another several months, the man could not go on with the life and went to the palace owner again, “I really can not stand this kind of life any more. If you do not offer me a job, I would prefer to go to hell instead of living here.” The owner of the palace smiled contemptuously (蔑视地), “Do you think it is heaven here? It is actually hell!” 根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。（10分） 小题1:The man saw a really grand palace ______.

答案

小题1:D 小题2:C 小题3:B 小题4:D 小题5:A

试题分析：本文通过一则寓言故事，告诉我们工作是我们快乐的源泉。 小题1:根据A man died and was on his way to another world可知，本题应该选D。 小题2:根据If so, there is nowhere else better than here for you. There is plenty of seafood and delicacies (美味佳肴) in my palace, and you can eat whatever you like without anyone stopping you. And nothing needs to be done by you.可知，在这里，这个人除了吃和睡以外，什么都可以不做。所以本题选C。 小题3:根据he felt a bit lonely and void中的lonely“孤独的”可推知，此处void的意思应与其保持一致，故应该是“空虚的”意思。所以本题选B。 小题4:通过It is very bored to live by just eating and sleeping every day可知，因为他感到孤独和无聊，才会想找工作。所以本题选D。 小题5:通过最后一句Do you think it is heaven here? It is actually hell!可知，这个人本认为在天堂。所以本题选A。 点评：本文的意思比较好理解，但应该注意文章的逻辑关系，应结合上下文进行理解。本题的题目的难度比较适中，大都能在文中找到答案。特别要注意第3小题，推测时要注意前面的lonely一词。

据专家权威分析，试题“A man died and was on his way to another world, either heave..”主要考查你对  人物传记类阅读，故事类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

人物传记类阅读故事类阅读

考点名称：人物传记类阅读

• 人物传记类阅读：
  本类型选材主要是名人轶事。
  人物传记的叙述线索也常常以时间为序。内容一般不是一个人的生活流水账，而是选取主人公一些重要的人生阶段或生活片段来展开叙述。
  阅读时要把握主人公在此阶段发生的事对他本身或他人有什么重要的意义和影响。

考点名称：故事类阅读

• 故事类阅读：
  文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。
  命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。
  阅读这类材料时，同学们一定要根据主要情节掌握文章主旨大意，同时抓住每一个细节，设身处地根据文章内容揣摩作者的态度和意图，根据情节展开想象，即使是碰到深层理解题也可迎刃而解。

• 故事类阅读注意：
  初中生接触到的阅读材料大都是故事类。
  阅读故事类的材料，应该抓住人物线索、地点线索、时间线索和情节发展线索。
  
  特别注意的是，以上线索往往是并存的。因为情节的发展总是涉及到人物的变化、时间的推移、场景的变换等。
  而阅读材料后的阅读理解往往会围绕这些内容设计一些事实类的理解题。
  
  凡事实类的理解题都可以从阅读材料的表层文字中找到答案。
  
  在阅读故事类短文时，应理解文章的深层含义，也就是它的主题。在此需要注意的是，现在的阅读理解题在测试事实类的理解题的同时，往往有一道推理类理解测试题．
