【語篇解讀】

誠信是最重要的。故事中的主人公Ayodhya的國王因?yàn)榇驍_了正在冥想的Vishwamitra而承諾將自己的王國拱手相讓，最終他的誠信感動了上帝，讓他又回到了自己的王位。

【答案解析】

1.B上句講述了Harishchandra用誠信治理國家。因此用successfully修飾動詞rule，意為“成功地治理”。

2.B受地點(diǎn)狀語in the forest的限制，go hunting（去打獵）符合語境。

3.A由上文可知，Harishchandra不小心闖入了Vishwamitra的宅院，打擾了正在冥想的Vishwamitra。由此判斷，Vishwamitra很生氣。

4.C下文中提到donated his whole kingdom，由此可知，國王獻(xiàn)出的是自己的王國。

5.B聯(lián)系上句提到的promised to donate可知，Vishwamitra接受了國王獻(xiàn)出的王國。

6.D由句中had donated his whole kingdom可知，國王Harishchandra信守承諾。因此keep his promise與原文故事情節(jié)一致。

7.A下文提到The same went for his wife and sons。由此可知，國王離開時(shí)帶著自己的妻子和兒子們。

8.D仔細(xì)理解句中but be a slave可知，國王什么也不會做，只能做奴隸。因此此處填入不定代詞nothing。

9.B上句敘述的是國王吃盡了苦頭；下句描述的則是他很高興。上下句之間在意義上為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

10.C理解上文細(xì)節(jié)可知，國王是個信守承諾的人，這是他感動上帝的原因。因此faithful（忠誠的）符合對他的品德評價(jià)。

【難句分析】

【原文】Once there was a great king named Harishchandra who never lied and always kept his promise.

【譯文】從前有一位叫Harishchandra的國王，他從不說謊，總是信守諾言。

【分析】這是一個帶定語從句的復(fù)合句。named Harishchandra是過去分詞短語，作定語，修飾king，意為“一個叫……的國王”。who never lied and always kept his promise則是定語從句，修飾先行詞Harishchandra。
