Question

5．This is a true story that happened in Japan．In order torenorate the house，a Japanese tore open the walls．Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls．When tearing down the walls，he found that there was a lizard（蜥蜴） stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet．He saw this，feeling pity and curious．When he checked the nail，he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built．
What happened？The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years!It has been in a dark wall partition（夹层） for 10 years without moving!Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step-since its foot was nailed!So he stopped his work and observed the lizard：What has it been doing？What and how has it been eating？Later，he didn't know from where another lizard appeared，with food in its mouth．Ah!He was astonished and touched deeply．The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years．
Such love，a beautiful love!Such love happened with this tiny creature．What can love do？It can do wonders!Just think about it：one lizard had been feeding the other one untiringly for 10 long years，without giving up hope on its partner．If a small creature like a lizard can love like this，just imagine how we can love if we try．

Answer 1

分析 这是一个发生在日本的真实的故事．一个日本人为了翻新房子，就把墙拆开了．通常日本的房屋在木制墙壁之间都有空隙．当拆除围墙时，他发现了一只由于被外面的钉子钉住了一只脚上的蜥蜴滞留在那里．他看到了就感到怜悯和好奇，当他检查钉子时，他发现这是10年前最早建房子时钉上的．
发生了什么事？蜥蜴在这样一个位置存活了10年！它在一个黑暗的墙壁夹层里一动不动的待了10年！然后，他就想知道，这只蜥蜴自从脚被钉住以后如何一步不动的存活了10年！因此他停下手中的工作，观察蜥蜴：它在做什么，吃了什么，是怎么吃的？后来，他不知道从哪儿出现了另一只蜥蜴，嘴里有食物！啊!他很惊讶，也很感动．自由活动的这只蜥蜴在过去的10年里一直在喂那只被卡住的蜥蜴．
这样的爱，一种美丽的爱！这样的爱发生在了小动物身上，爱能做什么呢？它可以创造奇迹！想想看：一只蜥蜴一直在坚持不懈地给另一只喂食长达10年之久，对它的同伴从没有放弃过希望，如果像蜥蜴这样的小动物都能这样去爱，试想一下，如果我们试着去爱，我们会怎样．

解答 21D  细节理解题 根据"a Japanese tore open the walls"，拆了墙，应该是翻新房子．另外，renovate （翻新，更新，修建），re-前缀有"重新"的意思，故选D
22C  细节推理题  根据第一段中"He saw this，feeling pity and curious"（感到怜悯和好奇）以及第二段中"What happened？The lizard had survived in such…for 10 years without moving!（发生了什么事？…），故选C
23B  细节推理题   根据第二段"Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step-since its foot was nailed!So he stopped his work and observed the lizard""然后，他就想知道，这只蜥蜴自从脚被钉住以后如何一步不动的存活了10年！"故选B
24B  主旨大意题  根据最后一段，"one lizard had been feeding the other one untiringly for 10 long years，without giving up hope on its partner．"（一只蜥蜴一直在坚持不懈地给另一只喂食长达10年之久，对它的同伴从没有放弃过希望），从而提出"just imagine how we can love if we try．"（试想一下，如果我们试着去爱，我们会怎样．）故选B

点评 本文作者通过讲述两只蜥蜴的感人故事，告诉了读者一个令人深省的道理，那就是不要放弃希望，努力去爱，就会创造奇迹．阅读方面以细节推理为主，最后一段概括了本文的主旨大意．
