试题分析： 从前有个国王，悬赏画家能画出最好的宁静的画。在所有的画中他真正喜欢的只有两幅。 一幅画中是一片宁静的湖泊。湖是平静的就像一面镜子，被山环绕着。另一张画也有山，但却崎岖不平；天空乌云密布，电闪雷鸣。在山的一侧是一个瀑布，在瀑布的后面有灌木丛长在岩石的裂缝中。在丛林中的一只鸟妈妈筑了鸟窝。她坐在巢中，看着流水。通过仔细比较，他选择了第二幅。他解释说，“宁静并不是指在这个地方没有噪音，烦恼，和平意味着当面对不愉快的情况，你仍然可以保持内心的平静。这才是宁静的真谛。” 【小题1】句意：很多的画家都试过了。考查动词的含义，argue表示争吵；invite表示邀请；try表示尝试；invent表示发明；故选C。 【小题2】句意：他不得不在这两者中挑选一幅。考查介词的基本含义。因表示在两者中挑选，故选between，正确答案为A。 【小题3】句意：第一幅画是一个宁静的湖。考查形容词的含义，A表示宁静的，B表示圆的；C表示小的；D表示深得。根据下文he lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful high mountains all around it.，这个湖非常的宁静，故选A。 【小题4】句意：所有看过这幅画的人都认为这是一幅非常宁静的画。考查动词的基本含义。A表示宣布；B表示认为；C表示怀疑；D表示承诺；故选B。 【小题5】句意：另一幅画也是山脉。考查名词的含义。根据下文But these were rugged（崎岖的）and bare（光秃的）．的理解只有山脉才光秃秃的，故选D。 【小题6】句意：这幅画看上去并不宁静。考查固定短语not…at all表示根本不的意思。 【小题7】句意：他看到这这岩石的裂缝中长出来灌木丛。考查固定短语see sb doing sth表示看到某人或某物正在做某事，故选B。 【小题8】句意：国王仔细比较了一下。考查副词的基本含义。因从两幅画中挑选一幅，必须认真仔细的挑选，故选B。 【小题9】句意：他挑选了第二幅画，并解释了缘由。考查连词的基本用法，表示并列或顺承，故选D。 【小题10】句意：宁静意味着不管遇到什么不开心的事情，都应该在内心深处保持宁静。考查名词的含义，宁静应该表现在内心，故选C。 考点：故事类短文
