【语篇解读】

诚信是最重要的。故事中的主人公Ayodhya的国王因为打扰了正在冥想的Vishwamitra而承诺将自己的王国拱手相让，最终他的诚信感动了上帝，让他又回到了自己的王位。

【答案解析】

1.B上句讲述了Harishchandra用诚信治理国家。因此用successfully修饰动词rule，意为“成功地治理”。

2.B受地点状语in the forest的限制，go hunting（去打猎）符合语境。

3.A由上文可知，Harishchandra不小心闯入了Vishwamitra的宅院，打扰了正在冥想的Vishwamitra。由此判断，Vishwamitra很生气。

4.C下文中提到donated his whole kingdom，由此可知，国王献出的是自己的王国。

5.B联系上句提到的promised to donate可知，Vishwamitra接受了国王献出的王国。

6.D由句中had donated his whole kingdom可知，国王Harishchandra信守承诺。因此keep his promise与原文故事情节一致。

7.A下文提到The same went for his wife and sons。由此可知，国王离开时带着自己的妻子和儿子们。

8.D仔细理解句中but be a slave可知，国王什么也不会做，只能做奴隶。因此此处填入不定代词nothing。

9.B上句叙述的是国王吃尽了苦头；下句描述的则是他很高兴。上下句之间在意义上为转折关系。

10.C理解上文细节可知，国王是个信守承诺的人，这是他感动上帝的原因。因此faithful（忠诚的）符合对他的品德评价。

【难句分析】

【原文】Once there was a great king named Harishchandra who never lied and always kept his promise.

【译文】从前有一位叫Harishchandra的国王，他从不说谎，总是信守诺言。

【分析】这是一个带定语从句的复合句。named Harishchandra是过去分词短语，作定语，修饰king，意为“一个叫……的国王”。who never lied and always kept his promise则是定语从句，修饰先行词Harishchandra。
