The Lord said to the man, “Come, I will show you hell.” They entered a room ___31___ a group of people sat around a huge pot of meat. Everyone was skinny, desperate and starving. Each ___32___ (hold) a spoon that could reach the pot, but each spoon had a handle so much longer ___33___ their own arms ___34___ it could not be used to get the stew into their own mouths. The suffering was terrible. “Come, now I will show you ___35___.” The Lord said after a while. They entered another room, similar ___36___ the first—the pot of meat, the group of people, the same long-handle spoons. ___37___ there everyone was happy, healthy and satisfied. “I don’t understand,” said the man. “___38___ are they happy here when they were miserable in the other room and everything was the ___39___?” The Lord smiled. “Ah, it is simple,” he said. “Here they have learned to feed each ___40___.” 31. where。空格后为一个定语从句，用以修饰名词room;由于先行词表地点，故用where来引导定语从句。 32. held。根据上下文可知，此句应用一般过去时。 33. than。根据其前的longer可知，其后应填空than。 34. that。此处的that与前面的so构成so…that…句式。 35. heaven。根据第一句A man spoke with the Lord about heaven and hell可知，前面看过了hell，所以现在要去看heaven。 36. to。similar to为英语惯用搭配，意为“与……相似”。 37. But。前后意思转折，故用but。 38. Why。询问原因，故用why。 39. same。根据上下文可知，此处填same，与前面出现的similar呼应。 40. other。与each构成搭配，feed each other 意为“彼此喂食”。 一个人在和上帝谈论天堂和地狱。上帝对这个人说：“来，我带你去地狱看看。”l都面黄肌瘦，绝望无助，饥肠辘辘。他们各持一个能够着汤锅的长勺，但是每个勺柄都远比他们的手臂还长，所以他们没法把炖肉送到自己嘴里去。这样的煎熬十分可怕。 过了一会儿，上帝说：“来，现在我带你去天堂看看。”他们走到另一间房，和第一间房间一样，里面都有一锅炖肉，一群人，手里都拿着长柄勺。但是每个人都健康快乐，心满意足。 那个人说：“我不懂，为什么两个房间里东西都是一样的，这里的人却这么开心，而那边的人那么悲惨。”上帝笑了。他说：“啊，这很简单，这里的人学会了彼此喂食。” 回复：1 获取【如何学习英语】的相关知识 欢迎加入学事儿中学 419881788 学事儿中学2群 中学生的大本营，一起玩一起学！ |
