解析
【分析】
做这篇阅读七选五时,首先要通读全文,明确文章核心主题是对比西方文化中的dragon和中国文化中的loong的形象、象征意义差异。解题时逐空定位上下文的逻辑线索:
1. 第1空:前文提到西方《指环王》这类作品里的龙,后文直接引出“我们来看看二者的差异”,说明此处需要先抛出“西方的龙和中国的龙是否相同”的过渡疑问,衔接前后文。
2. 第2空:空后内容全部在描述西方龙的外形、代表的危险属性、负面象征,说明此处是该段的总起主题句,要总述西方龙的整体形象特点。
3. 第3空:空后立刻提到了故事里的角色Smaug,说明此处需要引出这个具体的举例内容,和后文的Smaug介绍形成呼应。
4. 第4空:前文介绍中国传说里的龙由九种不同动物组成,后文转折说它没有翅膀却能飞,说明此处是承接前文,继续描述中国龙的外形特征。
5. 第5空:前文提到中国人非常尊崇龙,后文说明龙在中国文化中长期占据重要地位,此处需要补充说明中国人尊崇龙的原因,形成逻辑闭环。
【解析】
1. 空前提到西方影视作品里的龙,空后引出要对比二者的差异,F选项“但是这些龙和中国文化中的龙是一样的吗?”起到承上启下的过渡作用,符合语境。
2. 空后详细描述西方龙有翅膀、会喷火、是邪恶的象征,D选项“西方的龙在许多故事中是一种可怕的动物”是该段的总起句,统领整段对西方龙形象的介绍,符合语境。
3. 空后提到故事里的Smaug展现了人的贪婪,G选项“例如,史矛革是《霍比特人》一书中一条著名的龙”引出Smaug这个具体例子,和后文内容完美衔接,符合语境。
4. 空前提到中国的龙由九种不同动物组成,空后转折说明它无翅却能飞,B选项“它很长,看起来有点像蛇”承接前文,继续描述中国龙的外形特点,符合语境。
5. 空前提到龙深受中国人的喜爱和尊崇,A选项“他们认为它能给他们带来好运”解释了中国人尊崇龙的原因,和后文龙在中国文化的重要地位呼应,符合语境。
