五、Tracy 正在和哥哥一起读一个中国故事。请从方框中选择合适的单词补全故事(有一个多余)。
named Chinese the eating a lived
Long ago in China, there
lived
a king. He loved music very much.
He liked listening to a
Chinese
instrument called Yu best. The king asked many musicians to play for him. He was kind to all of them. A man
named
Nanguo couldn't play
the
Yu at all. But he wanted nice food from the king. So he joined the music band. When others played music, Nanguo just stood and pretended to play. No one found his secret. He always enjoyed
eating
nice meals after that.
Later, the old king died. His son became the new king. The new king liked music too, but he wanted musicians to play one by one. When Nanguo knew it, he ran away quickly at once.
答案：lived; Chinese; named; the; eating
解析：
【分析】本题是结合中国寓言故事的英语选词填空题，需先通读故事理解大意（“滥竽充数”的故事），再逐句分析空缺处的语法结构和语义需求，从给定单词（named、Chinese、the、eating、a）中匹配合适的词，注意排除多余单词，最终确定每个空的正确选项。
【解析】1. 第一句是there be句型的过去式，表达“某地住着某人/某物”，对应“很久以前在中国住着一个国王”，故填lived；2. 第二句需形容词修饰乐器，结合故事是中国的乐器，故填Chinese；3. 第三句表示“名叫……的人”，用过去分词named作后置定语，故填named；4. 第四句中play后接乐器时需加定冠词the，是固定搭配，故填the；5. 第五句是固定搭配enjoy doing sth，意为“喜欢做某事”，故填eating；给定单词中多余的是a，因此依次填入lived、Chinese、named、the、eating。
【答案】lived; Chinese; named; the; eating
【知识点】选词填空、固定搭配、冠词用法
【点评】本题以中国经典寓言故事为载体，既考查英语选词填空的基础能力，又渗透了传统文化，需要学生结合语境和语法知识解题，难度适中。
【难度系数】0.5
六、阅读短文，判断正(T)误(F)。
Long long ago, there was an old king. He had no sons or daughters. So he planned to choose a new king from all the children. One day, the king gave every child some flower seeds. He said, “The one who grows the most lovely flowers can be our new king. ” A little boy called Tom planted the seeds. He watered them every day. But no flowers grew in his pot at all. He felt very sad. Soon it was the show day. All children came with colourful and beautiful flowers. The king looked at those flowers and said nothing. Then he saw Tom with an empty pot. The king smiled and asked him why. Tom told him the story honestly. At last, the king said, “You are the new king! These seeds were boiled. They could never blossom(开花).”

解析：
【分析】本题是英语阅读理解判断题，解题思路为：先通读短文，掌握短文核心内容（老国王用煮过的种子选新国王，意在选诚实的孩子）；再逐题将题干表述与短文细节逐一比对，判断是否一致，注意区分国王的表面说法和实际目的。
【解析】1. 短文开头明确提到老国王计划从孩子中选新国王，与题干表述一致，故正确；2. 国王说“种出最可爱花朵的当新国王”是幌子，实际种子被煮过无法开花，国王意在选诚实的孩子，并非种出最美花的孩子当国王，故错误；3. 短文提到Tom拿着空花盆，说明他的花盆里没有花，与题干一致，故正确；4. 短文最后说明国王给的种子是煮过的，永远开不了花，无法长成花朵，故错误；5. 短文结尾国王宣布Tom是新国王，与题干一致，故正确。
【答案】1.T 2.F 3.T 4.F 5.T
【知识点】英语阅读理解、短文细节理解、判断正误
【点评】本题考查学生对英语短文细节的理解与判断能力，需准确把握短文的隐含信息（国王选新国王的真实标准是诚实，而非表面说的种出最美花），避免被表面表述误导，整体难度适中。
