【答案】11.B12.C13.B14.A15.D16.A17.D18.C19.B20.A

【解析】

【分析】

Birbal是一个很聪明的人,一次他陪同皇帝旅行,路上皇帝又累又热，他给皇帝讲了一个精彩的故事,故事吸

引了皇帝，他忘记了累和热，很快到达了目的地.几天后，一个人来挑战Birbal,问了他一个很难回答的问

题,Birbal如何应对的呢？看看这个故事吧.

[11题详解】

句意：天气很热，他开始感到很累、很无聊.joinery旅行,旅程；weather天气；ground地面,土地；action行

动.根据空后washot…可知,这里应表示“天气非常热”，故应选B.

【12题详解】

句意：他没有耐心地问：“有没有人能够给我缩短这条路？"farm农场；bridge桥；road道路；stick木棍.

根据下文“Youcanshortentheroad?"saidtheemperor.可知，皇帝想找个人把路程缩短.故应选C.

【13题详解】

句意:他的臣子紧张地面面相觑.lookedfor寻找；lookedat看…；lookedafter照顾;lookedlike看起来像.

根据文意可知I,在听了皇帝的问题之后，臣子们都不知道该怎样回答,所以“面面相觑”，互相看着对方.因

此应选B.

【14题详解】

句意：但是首先听一下这个故事.story故事；song歌曲；sport运动；photo照片.根据下文Birbalrodebeside

theemperorandbegantotellastory.可知，Birbal开始讲故事，因此他是让国王听一个故事.故应选A.

【15题详解】

句意:这是一个很令人兴奋的故事，所有的听众都被深深吸引了.difficult困难的；boring无聊的，厌烦的；

different不同的；exciting令人兴奋的.根据句意soallthelistenerswerefascinated."所有听众都被吸引了”，

因此这是一个精彩的故事,故应选D.

【16题详解】

句意：皇帝开心地说：“我们到了."happily开心地；carefully小心地，仔细地；mostly主要地，多半；especially

尤其，特别.根据皇帝说的话We'vearrived.Sosoon可知，皇帝在听故事的过程中，不知不觉到达了目的地,所

以他感到很开心,故应选A.

【17题详解】

句意：他听说了许多关于Birbal是多么聪明的故事.read读，阅读；wrote写；drew画画；heard听.根据句意

可知,这个人是听说了Birbal非常的聪明，故应选D.

【18题详解】

句意：这个人问Birbal：“你是愿意回答一百个简单的问题，还是回答一个困难的问题？”old老的；旧的：

bad坏的，糟糕的；easy容易的;big大的.根据空后orjustonedifficultquestion可知,这个空应填difficult的

反义词easy,故应选C.

【19题详解】

句意：这个男人说：“世界上是先有鸡,还是先有蛋？"duck鸭子；chicken鸡；horse马；cat猫.根据下句

话“Thechicken,repliedBirbal.可知，这个人问的是“先有鸡,还是先有蛋”，故应选B.

【20题详解】

句意：Birbal说：“我们约定好了你只能问一个问题，你已经问过了agreed同意；约定；hoped希望；advised

建议；believed相信，认为.根据上文ThemanaskedBirbal,4tWouldyouprefertoanswerahundred8

questionsorjustonedifficultquestion?^^“Askmeonedifficultquestion,''saidBirbal可知，Birbal和那个人约定好

了，那个人问他一个难题.故应选A.

【点睛】这篇短文是记叙文,讲述了聪明的Birbal的两个故事.文章内容比较容易理解，题型是完形填空，考

查学生们在具体语境中运用语言的能力，综合性较强.做题时,应先通读短文，了解大意；然后根据是上下文

语境做题,注意空前后的固定搭配,并仔细辨析选项中单词的意思和用法；最后将答案代入原文,再读--遍，

检查答案是否正确.例如第2小题，考查名词辨析,farm农场；bridge桥；road道路；stick木棍.根据下文“You

canshortentheroad?^^saidtheemperor.可知，皇帝想找个人把路程缩短.故应选C.再如第8小题,考查形容词

辨析,old老的；旧的；bad坏的，糟糕的；easy容易的；big大的.根据空后orjustonedifficultquestion可知，

这个人让Birbal选择,是回答一百个容易的题,还是回答一个难题,这个空应填difficult的反义词easy,故应选

C.
