A ship met a storm at sea and only two of the men were able to swim to a small, deserted island. Not knowing what else to do, they agreed to pray(祈禱) to God on opposite sides of the island.
Of course, the first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit tree on his side. But there was nothing on the other man’s side.
Later the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.
Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he could leave the island, and the next morning he found a ship.
The first man decided to leave alone. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice, “Why are you leaving your friend on island?”
“My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one that prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered.”
“You are wrong!” the voice said. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of our blessings.”
“Tell me”, the first man asked, “what he prayed for?”
“He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”
For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of others’ prayers for us
小題1: The first man decided to leave alone because he thought ________.
A．the second man didn’t like him
B．the second man didn’t want to leave
C．he was the one that prayed for the ship

試題分析：這篇短文中作者給我們講述了一個故事，兩個人被困在了一個島上，他們不知道怎么辦，只有向上帝禱告。第一個人的禱告總是能實現(xiàn)，他覺得這是他一個人祈禱的結果，所以打算一個人離開。但是事實上是因為第二個人禱告說，希望第一個人的祈禱都能實現(xiàn)。作者想要通過這個故事告訴我們，我們的祈禱之所以能實現(xiàn)，是因為別人對我們的祈禱。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he could leave the island, and the next morning he found a ship. The first man decided to leave alone. “My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one that prayed for them可知，第一個獲得了他祈禱得來的東西，打算一個人離開。他覺得他的祈禱是他一個人的，是他祈禱得來了那艘船。由此可知選C。
小題2:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文意及這個單詞所在的句子可知，當兩個人被困在一個島上的時候，他們不知道該做些什么，只有向上帝祈禱。這里的blessing 和pray的意思是相近的，都是祈禱或祈福的意思。故選A。
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)故事的最后部分可知，第一個人之所以能得到他祈禱的東西，是因為第二個人的禱告，他希望第一個所祈禱的東西都能實現(xiàn)。故應該選B。
小題4:主旨大意題。這篇短文中作者給我們講述了一個故事，兩個人被困在了一個島上，他們不知道怎么辦只有向上帝禱告。第一個人的禱告總是能實現(xiàn)，他覺得這是他一個人祈禱的結果，所以打算一個人離開。但是事實上是因為第二個人禱告說，希望第一個人的祈禱都能實現(xiàn)。作者想要通過這個故事告訴我們，我們的祈禱之所以能實現(xiàn)，是因為別人對我們的祈禱。故D選項朋友的祈禱這個題目最能概括短文大意。故選D。

Science fiction is a popular kind of writing, and many people think of Jules Verne as the father of science fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer(律師), but when he was about twenty years old, Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater.

These books were very successful and they made Verne rich.
Jules Verne’s books have been the subjects for many movies. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a successful movie for Walt Disney.
