Question

Two little boys

Two little boys had two little toys Each had a wooden horse. Joyfully they played each summer’s day Soldiers (士兵) both, of course. Then Jack broke off his horse’s head, Sad for his toy, then cried with joy As his young friend Joe said: Did you think I would leave you crying When there’s room on my horse for two? Climb up here, Jack, and don’t be crying I can go just as fast with two When we grow up we’ll both be soldiers And our horses will not be toys And I wonder if we’l remember When we were two little boys.

Long years past, war came so _____ Bravely they marched away. Guns roared loud and in the mad crowd Wounded and dying lie Up goes a shout, a horse rushes out Out from the crowd, to where Joe lay Then came a voice he knew: Did you think I would leave you dying When there’s room on my horse for two? Climb up here, Joe, we’ll soon be flying I can go just as fast with two. Now we are both real soldiers And our horses are not toys And I remember When we were two little boys.

【解析】

这篇短文是一首诗歌，讲述了两个从小一起玩的小男孩，他们小时候一起玩木头马，Jack的马坏了，Joe就让他一起玩他的玩具马；长大了他们当了士兵去打仗，Jack受伤了，Joe骑着马把Jack带走了。

1.细节理解题。根据短文中Then Jack broke off his horse’s head,可知，Jack的玩具马的头断了。由此可知应选A。

2.推理判断题。根据诗歌的第二节Long years past很多年过去了，战争来了，这个空与上句话在词尾是押韵的，past的结尾是/st/，因此这个空应填fast，它的结尾音也是/st/。故选A。

3.主旨大意题。这篇短文讲述了两个从小一起玩的小男孩，他们小时候一起玩木头马，Jack的马坏了，Joe就让他一起玩他的玩具马；长大了他们当了士兵去打仗，Jack受伤了，Joe骑着马来把Jack带走了。从这首诗歌中，我们可以看到两个人珍贵的友谊。故应选D。
