Question

【題目】I am Henry Jekyll. I was born in the 1800s. I inherited(繼承) a large fortune, a healthy body and an excellent mind. I was naturally hard-working and soon I was very successful in my job. So the outside world saw a serious, hard-working, successful doctor. Behind this quiet character, however, was a wild, fun-loving, irresponsible young man. Both of them were me. They lived together in the same body.

“Was it possible,” I wondered, “to find a drug that could give each side of my character its own separate face and body?”

After much thought and careful study I believed I had found the answer. I had read many scientific books and spent many hours in my laboratory, searching for the right mixture of chemicals to make my drug. At last I got everything ready.

Late one night, I mixed everything together and prepared my drug. I watched the smoke rising from the liquid as its color changed from red to purple and at last to green. Then, bravely, I drank every bitter drop.

I felt a violent sickness in my stomach and a terrible pain in all my bones. The room seemed to turn round and round and I trembled with fear. Then the fear and pain disappeared and a strange, sweet feeling took its place. Wild thoughts danced through my mind—the wild passions of an evil and cruel stranger. But inside myself I felt younger, lighter, more carefree than ever before. “If this is pure evil,” I thought, “I like it.”

I stood there, enjoying these strange new thoughts and passions and suddenly realized that I was shorter. So I decided to go to my bedroom in my new body and take a look at myself in the mirror there. As I came into my room, I saw Edward Hyde for the first time.

At that time, the good side of my character was stronger than the evil side. Henry Jekyll had his faults, but he was mostly a good, kind man. I believe that is the reason why Edward Hyde was so much smaller than Henry Jekyll. But that was not the only difference between the two men. Henry Jekyll had a kind, open, honest face. But pure evil stared out of Edward Hyde’s eyes. I felt no dislike, however. Indeed, I welcomed him. Edward Hyde was me, young and strong and full of life.

【解析】本文為科幻故事。作者是一個(gè)外表嚴(yán)肅、勤奮、成功的年輕醫(yī)生，而內(nèi)心又是一個(gè)狂野、有趣、不負(fù)責(zé)任的人。有一天，他發(fā)明了能為他性格兩面創(chuàng)造出獨(dú)立身體的藥物。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的So the outside world saw a serious, hard-working, successful doctor.可知，作者在外人眼中是一個(gè)嚴(yán)肅、勤奮、成功的醫(yī)生。故選D。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Was it possible,” I wondered, “to find a drug that could give each side of my character its own separate face and body?”（我想知道，找到一種能讓我性格的每一面都有自己的臉和身體的藥是可能的嗎？）可推知，作者想找一種藥物來(lái)為兩種性格創(chuàng)造不同的身體。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的Henry Jekyll had a kind, open, honest face. But pure evil stared out of Edward Hyde’s eyes. I felt no dislike, however. Indeed, I welcomed him. Edward Hyde was me, young and strong and full of life.（Henry Jekyll有開(kāi)放而誠(chéng)實(shí)的臉孔。但是，純粹的邪惡從Edward Hyde的眼睛里瞪了出來(lái)。然而，我并不覺(jué)得討厭。的確，我歡迎他。Edward Hyde是我，年輕強(qiáng)壯、充滿活力。）可推知，作者對(duì)他的兩個(gè)獨(dú)立的個(gè)體還是很滿意的。故選D。
