【分析】
这是一篇短篇英语阅读理解题,解题的核心思路是先通读全文了解故事大意,再逐个带着问题回到原文定位对应的语句,匹配选项得出答案:
1. 第一题询问花园的特征,直接在短文开头找描述花园的语句即可;
2. 第二题询问巨人建造的事物,定位提到build的相关句子就能找到答案;
3. 第三题需要结合原文孩子们回来后的场景描述,匹配三幅插图的内容,选出符合文字描述的图;
4. 第四题询问故事结尾巨人的状态,直接找短文最后关于巨人心情的描述即可。
【解析】
1. 原文第一句明确提到“A giant has a big garden. It is beautiful.”,说明花园又大又漂亮,对应A选项,排除B(小的)、C(小且没有树)选项。
2. 原文提到“He builds a tall wall to keep the children out.”,可知巨人建造了一堵高墙把孩子挡在外面,对应A选项,排除B(房子)、C(路)选项。
3. 原文描述孩子们回来后的场景为“Flowers come out. Birds sing happily in the trees.”,A图是树上鸟儿欢唱的画面,完全符合描述;B图是落叶飘零的萧瑟树木,是春天没来时花园的状态;C图是结满果实的果树,原文没有相关描述,因此选A。
4. 短文最后一句“The giant is happy too.”,说明最后巨人是开心的,对应C选项,排除A(自私的,是巨人一开始的特点)、B(难过,是巨人之前的状态)选项。
