二、阅读理解

2014·福建卷

Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey

Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters, such as

Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because

Disney turned old fables (寓言) into cartoon movies.

The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started

off with the girl mourning her mother's death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition,

there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or

helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.

The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella's food into the ashes of the fire, and

made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence (因此) her name.

In the original story, the king's ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds,

the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love

with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the

prince placed something sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.

Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking

for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked (邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters

to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to

be his bride. But, when they passed the tomb of Cinderella's mother, the birds called out to the

prince, “Turn and peep, there's blood within the shoe; The shoe is too small, the true bride waits

for you.”

Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother; the other then

had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderella's

foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as

Cinderella's two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy

the king's riches, two birds flew by and plucked (啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness

and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.

The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney

made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.

迪斯尼创作的米老鼠和唐老鸭早已家喻户晓，不过，灰姑娘的最初版本和现在大不相同。

1．What does the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to?

A. Such wonderful things.

B. Other well-loved characters.

C. Old fables.

D. Cartoon movies.

2．How did Cinderella get her name?

A. The birds came up with it.

B. It was given by Disney.

C. It came from the word “ash”．

D. She got it from her mother.

3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story?

A. Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.

B. The ball was held to celebrate the prince's wedding.

C. Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.

D. The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.

4．The moral of the original story is that ________.

A. a wicked person cannot escape punishment

B. a devoted person certainly deserves respect

C. a well-behaved child earns a great reward

D. a dishonest child cannot get mother love

5．What does the author think of the Disney version?

A. Excellent. B. Ordinary.

C. Dull. D. Ridiculous.
