Question

【題目】 Once upon a time there were two smart boys. Their talents were obvious from an early age. They knew they were special, and they desired that, in the future, everyone would admit how great they were.
They developed in a different way. The first boy had a successful career. He took part in all kinds of competitions, visited the most important people and places. No one doubted that he would be the wisest and most important person in the land.
The second boy always felt a heavy responsibility. He would feel obliged to help others. This didn’t leave him enough time to follow his dreams of greatness. He was busy looking for ways to help others. As a result, he was a much-loved and well-known person in his small circle.
A disaster took place, spreading misery (痛苦) there. The first man had never come across anything like this, and he failed to improve the situation. The second man was used to solving all kinds of problems, and had such useful know-how in certain subjects. So the disaster hardly affected the people at all. His methods were adopted there, and the name of this man spread even wider. Indeed, he was elected the governor of the nation.
The first man understood the greatest wisdom is from the things we do in life, from the impact (影響) we have on others, and from the need to improve ourselves. He never again took part in competitions. Instead, he always took books with him to be ready to help others.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章主要講述了兩個男孩成長的故事。兩個聰明的男孩都想成為杰出的人，但是第一個男孩他選擇參加各種競賽和拜訪各種重要的人。第二個男孩忙于幫助他人。當危機來臨時，第一個男孩措手不及；第二個卻處理得游刃有余，最終成為國家領導人。由此，第一個男孩才知道怎樣才能獲得真正的智慧。

【1】主旨大意題。根據文章第二段和第三段可知，這兩段分別介紹了兩個男孩不同的發(fā)展方式，而第三段介紹的是危機來臨時，兩個人不同的反應，故本文通過作比較的方式講述了一個小故事。選擇B。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據上文的The second boy always felt a heavy responsibility可知，第二個男孩感覺自己責任重大，故選擇A，意為有責任的。

【3】推理判斷題。根據第四段的The first man had never come across anything like this, and he failed to improve the situation. The second man was used to solving all kinds of problems, and had such useful know-how in certain subjects.可知選項A正確，他們都盡力去解決危機。選項B、C，說的是第一個男孩，故錯；選項D說的是第二個男孩，故錯。選擇A。
