Question

   One night,a little swallow flew over the city. He was very 1 and wanted to have a good sleep in the city. When he saw the Statue of the Happy Prince (王子) ，he flew down and got ready to sleep 2 the feet of the Happy Prince.

   Just as he was putting his head under his wing,some water fell on him. He thought it was raining. But when he looked 3 ,he found the sky was so clear and bright that he could see lots of stars. Suddenly,he saw some tears were running down the Prince's golden 4 .

   “Why are you crying?” asked the swallow.

   “In a little street,there’s a poor house.From one of windows, I see a woman 5 at a table.She’s sewing clothes for 6 women to wear.In a bed in the corner of the room,her little boy is sick. He's asking for oranges,but his mother has only water to give him,so he is crying. The boy is so thirsty 7 the mother is so sad. Little swallow,will you please take her the jewel from the top of my sword (寶劍）？”

   “It is very cold here and I am leaving for a warm place,but I will stay with you and do as you ask. ”

   The swallow took the bright red jewel from the Prince’s sword and flew away with it in his mouth. He flew into the woman's room and 8 it beside the woman s needle.

   After he flew back,he told the Prince what he had done. “It ’s strange ,” he added ,“it's so cold but I feel quite 9 now.”

   “That's 10 you have done a good thing ,” said the Prince. The little swallow began to think about this,and then he fell asleep.【2013 江蘇宿遷改編】

閱讀提示：本文講述了 一只小燕子助人為樂的故事。一天晚上，一只小燕子飛過這座城市時感到很累，就想在快樂王子雕像的兩只腳之間睡一覺。突然，他看見一些淚水順著王子的臉淌下來。小燕子弄清了事情的來龍去脈，并幫快樂王子完成了他的心愿。

1. B語境理解。根據(jù)下文have a good sleep推知這填tired。

2. D兩只腳之間，在兩者之間用between。

3. C考査動詞詞組用法辨析。由下文關鍵詞sky可知是向上看。

4. D眼淚應該是順著臉淌下來。故選D.

5. A語境理解。sit at a table意為坐在桌旁，故選A.

6. B句意:她在給貴婦人做衣服。

7. C前后兩句話之間是順承的關系，故選C.

8. D put…beside…意為“把……放在……的旁邊”。故選D.

9. C but連接兩個意義相反的分句，前一個分句中用cold ,所以后 一分句用warm。故選C.

10. A 考查 That's because …與 That's why …的用法區(qū)別。

That's because…意為“那是因為……”；That's why…意為“那是為什 么……”。上文已知道結果，下文自然應交代原因。故選A.
