十三、阅读短文,选出正确的答案。(5 分)
A woodcutter(樵夫)is cutting down a tree on the bank of the river. His axe(斧头)falls into the river. He tries his best to get it but he can't. He is very poor,so he begins to cry.
Mercury,the god(神)of the river,hears his cry and comes to help him. He asks him,“Why are you crying?” The woodcutter tells him,“My axe falls into the river. I have only one axe. I have no money to buy a new one.”
The god at once jumps into the water and comes out with a golden(金的)axe. The woodcutter sees it and says,“Oh no,it’s not my axe.” Then again the god jumps into the water. This time he brings out a silver(银的)axe. Again,the woodcutter says that it is not his. His axe is old and
iron. Mercury jumps into the water the third time and comes back with an iron axe. “That is my axe,” shouts the woodcutter out of joy. The god is very happy with him for his honesty and gives him all the three axes. The woodcutter is overjoyed(狂喜的)and goes home. He lives a happy life after that.

解析:
【分析】先通读短文,理解故事核心:樵夫的斧头掉入河中,河神三次下水分别拿出金、银、铁斧头,樵夫只认自己的铁斧头,因诚实被河神奖励所有斧头。再逐个题目定位原文信息:第1题找河神跳河次数;第2题提炼故事主旨;第3题判断樵夫情绪;第4题猜测划线词词义;第5题找河神奖励的原因。
【解析】1. 细节理解题,根据短文第三段“Mercury jumps into the water the third time...”可知河神跳了三次,选C;2. 主旨大意题,短文通过樵夫诚实的行为获得奖励,传达“要诚实”的道理,选A;3. 细节理解题,第一段提到樵夫斧头掉落后“begins to cry”,说明他难过,选B;4. 词义猜测题,结合前文金、银斧头,樵夫的斧头是铁制的,iron意为“铁制的”,选C;5. 细节理解题,第三段明确说明河神因樵夫的诚实(说真话)奖励他,选A。
