The children run away, The Giant closes the gate and builds a high wall around the garden, Since then, he hasn’t seen a child there. Then spring comes. But in the Giant’s garden, it is still winter. There are no birds or flowers. “I cannot understand why spring has not come since last year,” says the Giant. “I hope the weather changes soon.” But spring never comes, nor summer. Autumn gives golden fruit to every other garden. But it gives none to the Giant’s garden. One morning, the Giant suddenly hears birds singing. “I haven’t heard that beautiful birdsong for a while. I believe spring has come at last.” The Giant jumps out of bed and looks outside. The Giant sees a hole in the wall, Also, there is a little child in every tree. And the trees are so glad that they have covered themselves with flowers. The birds fly about and sing with joy. “How selfish I’ve been!” he says. Now I know why spring wouldn’t come here.       He knocks down the wall. The children look afraid, “Fear not, little ones,” the Giant says. “It’s your garden now.” 1．Why did the Giant’s garden remain in winter while it was spring everywhere else?

The Giant shuts the gate and builds a high wall around the garden. Since then, he hasn’t seen a child there. Then spring comes. But in the Giant’s garden, it is still winter.”，这直接说明巨人的花园保持冬天状态的原因是孩子们被禁止在里面玩耍。 2．第二段至第四段说明：“I cannot understand why spring has not come since last year,” says the Giant. “He knocks down the wall.”，巨人对春天不来感到困惑，最终醒悟后推倒了围墙，因此思维导图中▲处应填 “confused; knock down the wall”。 3．全文通过巨人的转变点明主旨：“Fear not, little ones,” the Giant says. “It’s your garden now.”，说明分享与善良会带来幸福。 4．第一段至第五段展现态度变化：起初巨人“What are you doing here?” he shouts in a very angry voice，表现得愤怒自私；最终他温和地对孩子们说 “Fear not, little ones... It’s your garden now.”，变得友善且欢迎孩子。 5．全文象征意义：“The Giant shuts the gate and builds a high wall around the garden.”，这面墙将孩子与春天隔绝在外，象征着巨人的孤独与自私。 八、完形填空。 Long long ago, there was a giant (巨人). His name was Kua Fu. He was a 1 and brave man. One year, the weather was very 2 . The people were suffering from (遭受……的伤害) the sun. The weather was so hot that many plants, animals and people died. Kua Fu wanted to do something to 3 the people. He decided (决定) to take the sun down from the sky and tame (驯服) it. The sun moved in the sky, while Kua Fu ran after it 4 , like wind. When he shook off (抖掉) the dust (灰尘) in 5 shoes, the dust became a hill. He finally caught up with the sun after nine days 6 nights. However, the sun was so hot that he felt thirsty (口渴的). He went to the Yellow River and the Wei River to 7 water. But the water from these two rivers was not enough for him to drink. He had to go and look for more water. Kua Fu wasn’t able to get there, and he died 8 the way to other rivers. Before he died, Kua Fu 9 his walking stick (手杖) away. It fell off and grew into a peach forest. He thought the hard-working (勤奋的) people could eat peaches every year.
