二、阅读理解
In a dark corner of a mountain, a demon(妖怪) tied up the Tang Monk. Then the demon brought in Bajie and Wujing, still trapped in vests. The demon put them in the corner with the monk. The demon said he'd been waiting for them to pass through the mountain and knew that eating the monk would make him live forever. Wujing asked, “Who are you?” The demon said, “I'm One - Horned Buffalo, the mighty king of the mountain.” Bajie said their friend Sun Wukong would soon find them and destroy the mountain. When he mentioned Wukong's name, the demon got nervous but said he wasn't afraid. Later, alone, he worried and prepared his special weapon(武器), a metal ring on his arm.
Meanwhile, Wukong returned to the building with food but couldn't find his friends. He saw nothing but a dark cave(洞穴). Wukong shook his head, knowing his friends must be taken by a demon. Putting down the food, he rushed to the cave and shouted, “Open up!” One - Horned Buffalo showed up and asked why he was shouting. Wukong ordered him to release(释放) his friends, but the demon refused, saying they were criminals for stealing his silk vests. Wukong argued that the Tang Monk wouldn't steal.
Then he pulled out his iron bar and swung(挥) at the demon. The demon jumped far and the bar hit the mountainside. The demon watched angrily and rushed at Wukong. Wukong swung again and hit the demon. The demon cried out in pain. Wukong said his iron bar was heavy and powerful. Seeing the demon reaching up his sleeve, Wukong asked what he was doing. The demon held up a metal ring and Wukong was pulled towards it. No matter how hard he tried, the bar was taken from his hands and went into the ring. Wukong was surprised and left quickly to ask for help.

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了唐僧师徒四人在取经路上遭遇妖怪——独角兕的故事，其中着重描述了孙悟空与独角兕的斗争。
1. D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The demon said he'd been waiting for them to pass through the mountain and knew eating the monk would make him live forever.”可知，妖怪一直在等待他们经过这座山，并且知道吃了唐僧可以让他长生不老。因此，妖怪抓住唐僧是因为相信吃了唐僧可以让他长生不老，故选 D。
2. D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When he mentioned Wukong's name, the demon got nervous... he worried and prepared his special weapon”可知，当提到孙悟空的名字时，妖怪变得紧张，在独自一人时准备了秘密武器。因此，妖怪听到孙悟空的名字时变得担心，故选 D。
3. B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Wukong ordered him to release his friends, but the demon refused, saying they were criminals for stealing his silk vests.”可知，孙悟空要求释放他的朋友们，但妖怪拒绝了，说他们是偷了他的纳锦背心的罪犯。因此，妖怪说唐僧、八戒和悟净偷了他的纳锦背心，故选 B。
4. B 推理判断题。根据“Wukong was surprised and left quickly to ask for help.”可知，悟空需要找到帮手，找到帮手后会回来救出唐僧师徒三人，故选 B。

【分析】
这是一篇取材自《西游记》经典情节的记叙文阅读理解，解题时遵循先划题干关键词、再回原文定位找对应依据的思路即可：
1. 第1题抓关键词"catch the Tang Monk"，回到第一段找妖怪抓唐僧的目的相关表述，区分表面借口和真实原因；
2. 第2题抓关键词"heard about Sun Wukong"，定位第一段提到悟空名字后妖怪的完整反应，不要只看片面的口头表述，要结合实际行为判断真实情绪；
3. 第3题抓关键词"what did the demon say about"，定位第二段妖怪拒绝释放师徒三人的表述处，直接提取相关指控内容；
4. 第4题是推理判断题，直接看文章最后一句悟空的行动，顺着行动逻辑推导后续发生的事件即可。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：根据原文第一段"The demon said he'd been waiting for them to pass through the mountain and knew that eating the monk would make him live forever."，可知妖怪抓唐僧的核心目的是认为吃唐僧可以长生不老。选项A是妖怪后续找的不放人的借口并非真实抓人的原因，选项B文中完全未提及，选项C只是妖怪的前置行为不是抓唐僧的目的，因此选D。
2. 细节理解题：根据原文第一段"When he mentioned Wukong's name, the demon got nervous but said he wasn't afraid. Later, alone, he worried and prepared his special weapon"，可知妖怪嘴上说不怕悟空，实际真实的感受是担忧，还特意准备了专属武器，选项A只是妖怪的口头逞强并非真实情绪，选项B、C文中无相关表述，因此选D。
3. 细节理解题：根据原文第二段"Wukong ordered him to release his friends, but the demon refused, saying they were criminals for stealing his silk vests."，可知妖怪指控唐僧、八戒、悟净偷了他的丝背心，其余选项内容均未在文中出现，因此选B。
4. 推理判断题：根据原文最后一句"Wukong was surprised and left quickly to ask for help."，可知悟空打不过妖怪之后立刻动身去求助，顺着行动逻辑，接下来他会带着帮手返回营救同伴。选项A文中没有提到铁棒被打碎，选项C悟空没有被拉进金属环而是主动脱身离开，选项D文中没有体现妖怪马上要吃掉师徒，因此选B。

【点评】
本题选取学生熟悉的《西游记》相关情节作为阅读素材，降低了文本理解门槛，重点考察学生的细节查找能力，同时设置了易混淆的干扰项（比如妖怪口头说不怕悟空的表述），提醒学生解题时要通读完整对应段落，不能只抓只言片语就选答案，最后一道推理题引导学生结合人物行为的逻辑推导后续情节，整体难度适中，适合巩固基础阅读解题技巧。
