A beautiful big bird flies over a village. It is a pet of the Jade Emperor. Three men in the village see the bird and want to catch it. They run after the bird and hurt it. The bird can't fly and falls into the mountains. The Jade Emperor waits for his bird,but it doesn't come back. He looks down and finds his bird. When he knows how the bird gets hurt,he becomes angry and decides to punish the three men. He calls his daughter and asks her to burn the village.
His daughter is kind. She goes to the village and says to the three men,"My father is angry and he will burn your village on the fifteenth day of this month." The three men don't know what to do. They ask a wise woman. The woman says,"You can light lanterns and fires. The village must be full of fire and noise. The Jade Emperor will think the village is on fire."

我先梳理整体解题思路:1. 任务一排序:先通读全文理清故事的完整发展脉络:①村民偶遇玉帝的宠物大鸟,不小心将它射伤→②玉帝发现爱鸟受伤,勃然大怒,决定惩罚村民,吩咐自己的女儿去烧毁整个村庄→③心地善良的玉帝女儿偷偷来到村庄,把玉帝要烧村的消息告知村民→④村民不知所措,向村里的智慧妇人求助,妇人给出了应对的办法→⑤村民按照妇人的安排行事,玉帝在云端看到村庄的火光和喧闹,误以为村庄已经被焚毁,村庄最终平安无事。再把五张图的内容和上述情节逐一匹配先后顺序,就能得到正确排序。2. 任务二第1小题:结合上下文语境,村民误伤玉帝的爱鸟,玉帝十分愤怒,后续还安排女儿烧毁村庄,很容易推断出punish的含义。第2小题:文章开篇就抛出核心问题“为什么元宵节要点灯笼”,整个故事都是围绕这个主题展开,对比选项就能选出最贴合主旨的标题。3. 任务三直接从原文定位对应语句,提取关键信息整理出答案即可。
【解析】
任务一:将五张图和故事发展顺序逐一对应:
1. 最先发生的情节是村民射箭误伤玉帝的大鸟,对应从左数第2张图,排序为1;
2. 接下来玉帝发现自己的宠物鸟受伤,生气要惩罚村民,吩咐女儿去烧村,对应从左数第4张图,排序为2;
3. 之后玉帝的女儿来到村庄,把玉帝要烧村的消息告知村民,对应从左数第1张图,排序为3;
4. 随后村民向智慧妇人求助,妇人给出应对方案,对应从左数第3张图,排序为4;
5. 最后玉帝的女儿在云端看到村庄满是火光喧闹,以为村庄已经被焚毁,村庄平安无事,对应从左数第5张图,排序为5;
因此五张图从左到右的排序是3 1 4 2 5。
任务二:
1. 结合上下文,玉帝的宠物鸟被村民误伤,玉帝十分愤怒,后续安排女儿烧毁村庄,可知punish的中文含义是“惩罚”,选B。
2. 全文开篇就提出核心问题“为什么元宵节要点灯笼”,整个故事都是为了解释这个问题,因此最佳标题是Why we light lanterns at the Lantern Festival,选C。
任务三:
1. 定位原文语句"When he knows how the bird gets hurt,he becomes angry",可知玉帝生气的原因是他的宠物鸟被弄伤了,整理得到对应答案。
2. 定位原文语句"The three men do as the wise woman says. The Jade Emperor sees the fire and hears the noise. He thinks the village is destroyed.",可知他们的做法是点起灯笼和火堆,制造巨大的声响,让玉帝误以为村庄已经着火被焚毁,整理得到对应答案。
【答案】
任务一:3 1 4 2 5
任务二:1. B 2. C
任务三:1. Because his pet bird gets hurt.
2. They light lanterns and fires and make big noise.
