Question

 Once there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was said that the island would go down, so all made boats and left except Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to offer her help until the last possible moment. When the island had almost gone down, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a great boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”

Sadness was close by, so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you .” “Oh, Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even notice when Love called her.

    Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. Love was so excited that she even forgot to ask who the elder was. So Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only Time understands how valuable Love is.”

試題分析：這篇短文中作者主要講述了一則寓言故事，在一個(gè)島嶼上住著各種“情感”，當(dāng)島嶼快要下沉?xí)r除了love都各自逃命去了，當(dāng)love在最后一刻向他們求助時(shí)，都各自顧著自己的財(cái)寶或生命而不顧他的死活，最終還是time了解他，知道他的珍貴，并挽救了他的生命。

1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第一段One day it was said that the island would go down一句可知這座島嶼即將就要下沉了，故選B。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段內(nèi)容可知sadness拒絕了love的請(qǐng)求，故sadness經(jīng)過(guò)love時(shí)看到他了，題干是一個(gè)反義疑問(wèn)句，回答時(shí)“yes，he did”意為“不他看到了”，和漢語(yǔ)有所差異，B和D這種自相矛盾的說(shuō)法在英語(yǔ)中是不存在的；故選A。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第五段Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even notice when Love called her.內(nèi)容可知，他太開心了，所以沒(méi)有聽到love向他求助的聲音，故選B。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第六段love和另一位老人knowledge的對(duì)話So Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?” “It was Time,”可知，挽救他生命的是time，故選D。

5.猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)短文最后一句Because only Time understands how valuable Love is可知只有時(shí)間才能理解愛(ài)是多么寶貴，其他的“人”都各自逃命去了，不管love的死活，而他卻一直堅(jiān)持自己的信仰；所以他的毅力是珍貴的；故選B。
