Question

Once upon a time there was a boy who liked drawing, but he was too poor to buy a brush. One night he said to himself,"If only I had a brush, I could draw pictures for the poor people in my village."

Suddenly an old man with a long white beard(胡须）appeared. He said, "Here is a brush for you. But you must only draw prictures for poor people with it."

Ma Liang began to draw a hen, and as he did so, it changed into a real hen. "Wow!"he said, "this brush must be magic!" Then he drew an axe（斧头) for a poor woman and it changed into a real one.

Soon the king heard about Ma Liang's magic brush. He asked Ma Liang to draw him a tree with gold coins hanging on it, but Ma Liang refused. The king was so angry that he threw Ma Liang in prison（监牢）."If I had a key, I could unlock the door,"Ma Liang said. So he drew a key and it changed into a real key. He opened the door quietly and escaped(逃跑). When the king got on his horse and chased him with his guards, Ma Liang drew a horse and it changed into a real horse. He rode the horse and ran away.

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了“神笔马良”的故事，表达了作者嫉恶如仇，与广大劳苦大众站在一起，敢于挑战权贵的思想品质。

1.F 推理判断题。题意：马良没有画笔因为他根本就不喜欢画画。由短文第一句Once upon a time there was a boy who liked drawing, 可知马良喜欢画画。因此本句错。

2.T推理判断题。题意：马良按照老人告诉的那样做。根据短文内容，老人叫马良只为穷人画画，他拒绝给权贵们画画。故本句正确。

3.F推理判断题。题意：国王对马良一直友好。The King was friendly to Ma Liang all the time. 根据短文第四段的“The king was so angry that he threw Ma Liang in prison”（国王如此生气把他关机了监牢）可知本句错。

4.T推理判断题。题意：有下划线的"chased" 意思是追赶。句意：the king got on his horse and chased him with his guards国王上了马和他的卫兵一起chased他。可以推测出是追赶他，所以本句正确。

5.推理判断题。题意：故事告诉我们马良是一位善良、聪明和勇敢的孩子。众观全文，本句正确。
