【分析】
这是一篇基于“滥竽充数”典故的完形填空，解题思路为：先通读全文把握故事脉络（齐国乐师吹竽，南郭先生假装加入，新王要求独奏后逃跑），再结合时态（全文叙述过去发生的事，用一般过去时）、语境逻辑、词汇用法逐一分析选项。
【解析】
1. 考查there be句型的一般过去时，主语300 musicians是复数，be动词需用were，故选B。
2. 语境：南郭先生听闻齐王给乐师发钱，去拜见国王并谎称擅长吹竽，故选C（king）。
3. 全文为过去时态，begin的过去式是began，故选B。
4. 国王开心和给南郭先生钱是并列动作，用并列连词and，故选A。
5. 全文为过去时态，feel的过去式是felt，故选B。
6. 新王要求独奏后，人们知道了南郭先生不会吹竽，此处用一般过去时，know的过去式是knew，故选C。
【答案】
1.B 2.C 3.B 4.A 5.B 6.C
【知识点】
一般过去时、连词用法、词义辨析
【点评】
本题结合经典成语故事，既考查完形填空的语境理解能力，又巩固了初中英语核心语法，是基础型完形填空题。

十一、阅读短文,判断下列句子正(T)误(F)。

During the Warring States Period, Zou Ji and Mr Xu were both good-looking(好看的) men in the State of Qi. One day, Zou wanted to know who was better-looking between himself and Mr Xu. He asked his wife, his concubine(妾）and his guest about it. They all said Zou was better-looking. Days later, Zou found that the three people lied. He was not as good-looking as Mr Xu.
“Why did they lie to me?” Zou thought. The next day, he went to share his answer with the king. “They lied to me because my wife loves me, my concubine is afraid of me, and my guest needs my help. My king, in the state, every official(官员) is afraid of you and everyone needs your help. It is difficult for you to hear the truth.”
The king agreed with him and told the state that anyone who gave him useful advice could get a prize. In this way, the State of Qi became better and better.
()1. Zou Ji and Mr Xu were both good-looking.
()2. The guest lied because he was afraid of Zou Ji.
()3. Zou Ji found out the truth because Mr Xu told him.
()4. The State of Qi became better because the king listened to honest advice.
()5. The story tells us to be honest and to listen to the truth bravely.

【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解判断正误题，解题思路：先通读短文把握大意，再逐题分析题干，定位题干对应的原文内容，对比原文与题干表述判断正误，需严格依据原文信息，不可主观臆断。
【解析】
1. 题干“Zou Ji and Mr Xu were both good-looking.”对应原文第一句“Zou Ji and Mr Xu were both good-looking(好看的) men in the State of Qi.”，表述一致，故判断为T；
2. 题干“The guest lied because he was afraid of Zou Ji.”对应原文“my guest needs my help”，客人撒谎是因为需要邹忌帮忙，而非害怕，故判断为F；
3. 题干“Zou Ji found out the truth because Mr Xu told him.”对应原文“Days later, Zou found that the three people lied.”，邹忌是自己发现真相，并非徐公告知，故判断为F；
4. 题干“The State of Qi became better because the king listened to honest advice.”对应原文“anyone who gave him useful advice could get a prize. In this way, the State of Qi became better and better.”，齐王采纳有用建议后齐国变好，表述一致，故判断为T；
5. 题干“The story tells us to be honest and to listen to the truth bravely.”结合邹忌反思他人撒谎原因、劝谏齐王听真话的内容，可知故事传达该道理，故判断为T。
【答案】
1.T 2.F 3.F 4.T 5.T
