Once, long ago in a land far away, there lived four little characters. Two were mice named “Sniff” and “Scurry” and the other two were little people named “Hem” and “Haw”. Every day the four spent time in the maze (迷宫) looking for Cheese. It wasn’t long before they found Cheese Station C with plenty of Cheese.
Scene One
At Cheese Station C. Some friends are invited to enjoy the Cheese.
Haw: Pretty nice Cheese, huh?
Friends: Sure! How delicious!
Hem: This Cheese is ours. We deserve (应该得到) this Cheese. We have worked long and hard enough to find it.
Scene Two
At Cheese Station C. Sniff and Scurry look around and find no Cheese. They quickly run off in search of New Cheese. Hem and Haw can’t believe that the Cheese is gone.
Hem: What! No Cheese? No Cheese? Who moved my Cheese?
Haw: Oh, no! I can’t believe it!
Scene Three
Sniff and Scurry go up and down in the maze. Finally they arrive at Cheese Station N. There they find a mountain of New Cheese. Hem and Haw are still at Cheese Station C.
Hem: Who moved my Cheese? Why didn’t they tell me earlier? It’s unfair!
Haw: Maybe our Cheese will never come back. We’ll have no food. We’ll die! Maybe Sniff and Scurry have found New Cheese now. Let’s go and find ours!
Hem: Oh, no! I like it here. It’s comfortable. It’s what I know. It’s dangerous out there. I’ll never go out!
Scene Four
At Cheese Station N. After enduring (忍受) doubts and hardships, Haw finally reaches Cheese Station N, weak, tired and hungry. His old friends Sniff and Scurry are enjoying the Cheese there. Haw quickly says his hellos and jumps into the New Cheese.
Haw: What delicious Cheese! Hooray for Change!
1.1. What were the names of the two little people?
A Hem and Haw.
B Sniff and Scurry.
C Hem and Sniff.
D Haw and Scurry.
解析:选A。A. 细节理解题。第一段原句明确交代:"the other two were little people named 'Hem' and 'Haw'"(另外两个是名叫 Hem 和 Haw 的小小人),直接锁定答案 A。干扰项均来自文中真实人名,但 B(Sniff and Scurry)是两只老鼠的名字,C、D 将老鼠与小小人的名字混搭,属 "张冠李戴" 型干扰项。此题考查对人物身份与姓名的准确对应,是戏剧类文本最基础的细节题。
2.2. According to Scene Two and Scene Three, which sentence best describes Sniff and Scurry?
A They were lazy and foolish.
B They were quick in action.
C They were clever but careless.
D They were good at planning.
解析:选B。B. 推理判断题。第二幕舞台说明写 "they quickly run off in search of New Cheese"(他们迅速跑开去寻找新奶酪),第三幕他们已到达奶酪 N 站并发现大量新奶酪 —— 从发现奶酪消失到找到新奶酪,全程行动果断迅速,故 B 正确。干扰项辨析:A 与事实相反(他们主动出击而非懒惰);C"粗心" 文中无依据;D"擅长计划" 属过度推断 —— 文中只体现其行动力,未提及计划性。此题考查依据文本证据推断人物特点,"quickly" 是解题关键线索。
3.3. How did Haw’s feelings change according to the story?
A Worried → shocked → sad → excited.
B Proud → surprised → worried → excited.
C Worried → sad → happy → disappointed.
D Proud → angry → unhappy → disappointed.
解析:选B。B. 推理判断题。需按情节顺序逐幕提取 Haw 的情感线索:第一幕他自豪地炫耀奶酪("Pretty nice Cheese, huh?");第二幕奶酪消失,他惊呼 "I can't believe it!"(我简直不敢相信)→惊讶;第三幕他哀叹 "We'll have no food. We'll die!"(我们会没食物,会饿死的)→担忧;第四幕找到新奶酪后高呼 "Hooray for Change!"(为变化欢呼)→兴奋。四段情感变化与 B 完全对应。干扰项辨析:A 首项 "担忧" 不符第一幕的得意;C 末项 "失望" 与第四幕的兴奋相反;D 第三项 "不开心" 不够准确(他明确表达的是对死亡的恐惧担忧),且 B 中 "惊讶" 比 D 的 "愤怒" 更贴合 "I can't believe it"。此题考查按情节推进梳理情感曲线,需逐幕定位情感关键词。
4.4. What can we learn from the story?
A East or west, home is the best.
B Friendship should not be all on one side.
C Two heads are better than one.
D Where there is a change, there is a chance.
解析:选D。D. 主旨大意题。故事主题是 "面对变化的态度":嗅嗅和匆匆迅速适应变化获得新奶酪;唧唧从犹豫到行动,最终拥抱变化、欢呼 "Hooray for Change!";而哼哼固守旧地、拒绝改变。正反对比鲜明地说明:变化中蕴藏机遇,主动适应变化才能获得新收获,故 D 正确。干扰项辨析:A 强调 "家最好",与哼哼固守旧奶酪的态度相近,恰是故事批评的对象;B"友谊单方面付出" 文中无涉及;C"人多力量大" 文中虽有四人协作的设定,但非故事核心寓意。此题考查把握寓言类文本的深层寓意,注意 "反例排除法"—— 故事中被否定的行为对应的选项即为干扰项。
