试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是一个年轻人救了一只海龟，被海龟带到了一个美丽的宫殿，在那里受到了热烈的欢迎，还吃了一顿大餐。最后海龟给了他两个盒子作为答谢，并且告诉他只能打开其中的一个盒子。年轻人没有遵守承诺，结果变成了一个老人。

1.A考查副词及语境的理解。句意：就在那时，一个年轻人过来对他们说：不要打了，这些孩子们很快跑走了。away 离开，远离；into 到……里面；out出去。根据文意可知，当一些孩子们在打那只乌龟的时候，年轻人走过来制止了他们，孩子们跑走了。故应选A。

2.C考查非谓语动词及语境的理解。句意：谢谢你的好心，我想要邀请你去一个美丽的宫殿。asking 问；to let 让；to invite邀请。根据文意可知，当一些孩子打乌龟的时候，年轻人救了那只乌龟，所以乌龟邀请他去一个宫殿。would like to do sth.想要去做某事。故应选C。

3.B考查动词短语及语境的理解。句意：当他到达宫殿的时候，他感到很吃惊，对乌龟说：多么漂亮的宫殿啊！left for 动身去；arrived at 到达；got away离开。根据上文可知，乌龟邀请年轻人去宫殿，所以这里应该是到达了宫殿，故应选B。

4.A考查名词短语及语境的理解。句意：为了感谢他，乌龟国王给了他一顿丰盛的晚餐。a very big dinner 一顿大餐；a very poor dinner 一顿很差的晚餐；a very small dinner一顿很小的晚餐。根据下句话He had never seen such a dinner before可知，乌龟为了感谢他，应该给他吃大餐，故选A。

5.A考查形容词短语及语境的理解。句意：他在那里受到了热烈的欢迎，他对每件事都很满意。pleased with 对……满意或愉快；strict in 对某事严格；angry with对某人生气。根据文意可知，年轻人对宫殿里的每件事都感到很满意。故应选A。

6.C考查介词短语及语境的理解。句意：在他回家之后，他打开了两个盒子中较大的那个。令他感到惊奇的是，盒子里装满了金子。to his surprising 和to his surprised 这两个短语形式不对；to his surprise是固定短语，令某人感到惊奇的是。在这个短语中to one’s 后面应该跟名词。故选C。

7.B考查名词短语及语境的理解。句意：他大喊道：我现在成了一个富人了。a poor man 一个穷人；a rich man 一个富人；an old man一个老人。根据上文The box was full of gold可知，这个年轻人得到了很多金子，所以他成了一个富人。故选B。

8.考查动词短语及语境的理解。句意：他的脸看起来像是一个80多岁的老人。liked 喜欢，过去式形式；looked 看起来；looked like看起来像。根据上文he became an old man. His hair turned white可知，当这个年轻人打开第二个盒子之后，他变成了一个老人。故他的脸看起来像是一个老人的脸，故应选C。

考点：故事类短文。
