Question

【题目】Little stream(小河） ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties.I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing(消失)into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze(微风)can cross the desert,so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”

“That’s because you stick to what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No!No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this,the little stream went into the open arms of breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are sometimes.

试题分析：本文讲述的是一条小河在过沙漠时遇到了困难，然后在沙漠的建议下，改变了自己的形态，变成了水蒸气，在风的帮助下，最后穿过了沙漠。并把这一过程与人生进行了比较。如果你想通过你生活中的困难，走向成功，你也应该改变你的方式。

【1】D细节理解题。根据短文的第一段可知小河是想穿过沙漠的，排除C项；根据小河自己的话“I went through so many difficulties.I should have no problem crossing the desert”可知小河经历了许多困难，通过沙漠应该没问题，也就是说小河是相信自己的，所以排除A项和B项。故选D。

【2】D 细节理解题。根据短文中第二段At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze(微风)can cross the desert,so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert.可知沙漠在鼓舞小河。故选D。

【3】B 词义猜测题。根据短文中第三段“That’s because you stick to what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert.可知沙漠说“那是因为你坚持你的样子。让你自己蒸发到微风里，然后它可以带你穿过沙漠。”再根据后文在沙漠的建议下，小河改变了自己的形态，变成了水蒸气，在风的帮助下，最后穿过了沙漠。由这些信息可知stick to意为坚持。故选B。

【4】C主旨大意题。A项是放弃你所拥有的；B项是如何穿越沙漠；D项是小河和沙漠。这篇短文主要讲述的是一条小河在过沙漠时遇到了困难，然后在沙漠的建议下，改变了自己的形态，变成了水蒸气，在风的帮助下，最后穿过了沙漠。进而延伸出人生也是如此。所以改变意味着成功应为最佳选项。故选C。
