Question

Once upon a time, a boy was walking through a wood and he thought he could hear a sad cry. Following the sound he came to a big, round, mysterious, grey fountain. The sad sound seemed to be coming from the fountain pool. The boy swept aside the pool’s dirty surface water and saw a group of grey fish swimming in a slow circle through the pond.
Amused by this, the boy tried to catch one of these incredible talking fish. But when he stuck his arm into the water it turned grey right up to the elbow. As this happened, a huge sadness entered into him, and he suddenly understood how sad the fish were feeling.
He quickly pulled his arm out of the water, and ran from that place. But the arm stayed grey, and the boy continued feeling sad. He tried so many times to cheer himself up, but nothing worked. That was, until he realized that if he were to make the Earth happy then that happiness would be, in turn, transmitted back to him, through the earth on his arm. X|k | B|  1  .  c|O  |m
From then on, he set about looking after countryside. He cared for the plants, and he did what he could to keep the water from being polluted. He encouraged others to do the same. He was so successful that his arm started to recover its normal color. When the grey had disappeared completely, he started feeling happy again, and he decided to go and visit the fountain. When he was still some way from the fountain he could hear the fish singing happily.

解析試題分析：本文敘述了一個小男孩因胳膊伸進(jìn)了灰色泉水里，胳膊變成灰色，心情很悲傷。他想了很多辦法讓自己高興起來，都做不到。于是他意識到，只有讓地球高興了，地球上的東西才會高興，于是他開始照顧地球上的植物，防止水污染，后來他恢復(fù)了。這個故事告訴我們要保護好地球，保護地球就等于保護好我們自己。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)But when he stuck his arm into the water it turned grey right up to the elbow. As this happened, a huge sadness entered into him,可知當(dāng)這個男孩把胳膊伸進(jìn)水里，他的胳膊直到胳膊肘變成了灰色，同時，他感到悲傷。故選C。
【小題2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)When the grey had disappeared completely, he started feeling happy again,可知他的胳膊上的灰色完全消失，他又感到快樂，因此說他恢復(fù)乘正常的狀態(tài)。故選D。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)But the arm stayed grey, and the boy continued feeling sad.可知這個小男孩離開那口泉水后，胳膊仍然是灰色的，繼續(xù)感到悲傷。故選D。
【小題4】推理判斷題。文中講小男孩為了讓自己高興起來，幫助照顧地球，地球高興了，他也就高興了，故推斷我們應(yīng)該保護好地球，地球好了，我們就會很好。故選A。
【小題5】標(biāo)題歸納題。文中圍繞著小男孩碰到了灰色泉水之后發(fā)生的變化，故本文主要講灰色泉水的故事。故選D。
