Question

【题目】

Once a king got two nice falcons（猎鹰） from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.

After several months, the king came to see how the training was going. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch（树枝） of a tree quietly, just keeping still.

The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.

The next mornings, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. “It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. “How could you make it happen?”

The farmer replied, “It’s very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”

It is always the same to human beings. We all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to no notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort. We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.

【解析】

本篇讲述了一位国王得到2只猎鹰，一只在训练后会飞，一只不飞总停在枝头，后来一位农民砍掉这只猎鹰歇息的树枝，这只猎鹰终于飞起来。这个故事告诉我们，人也会像猎鹰一样，不到树枝断掉的时候，不会意识到自己能飞多高。

【1】根据第一段“He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.”可知他命令最好的猎鹰师训练他们飞行，故答案为He ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.

【2】根据第二段“while the other was staying on the branch”可知它停留在一棵树的枝上，故答案为On the branch of a tree./ It was staying on the branch of a tree.

【3】根据第三、四段“He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.

The next mornings, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely”可知是一个农民让鹰飞起来，故答案为A farmer.

【4】根据第四段“It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. “How could you make it happen?”可知国王看到这只鹰终于飞起来时感到惊奇、不可相信，故答案为Surprised./Shocked./It is unbelievable.

【5】根据第六段“We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.”可知我们不会意识到我们可以飞得多高，直到我们的“树枝”断了，故答案为When the “branch” we are resting on breaks/We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.
