初中英语文学作品类阅读试题

A fisherman lived with his wife in an old shack（棚屋） by the sea．Each day he caught a fish，and cooked it for his wife．One day he caught a talking fish．The fish asked the fisherman to let him live，and the fisherman agreed．For the rest of the day，he caught nothing else．

When the fisherman got home empty﹣handed，his wife asked what happened．He told her about the magic fish．"What did you get in return （作为回报）？"his wife asked．"Nothing．"said the fisherman，which made his wife very angry．"It's a magical fish，so ask it to grant （准予）your wish．I hate my shack．Ask the fish for a nice house，"she said．The man didn't want to trouble the fish but he didn't want his wife to get angry either．He did not know if he should listen to his heart or his wife．

The next day the fisherman went to the sea and told the fish about his wife's wish．When her got home，his wife was standing in front of a beautiful house．

For a week，she was happy but then she started to complain （抱怨）．"Go back and ask for a castle （城堡），"she said．"If you don't，I'll be unhappy forever．"The fisherman didn't want to bigger house but he didn't want his wife to be unhappy．Again，he did not know if he should listen to his heart or his wife．However，the next day，he returned to the sea and spoke to the fish again．When he got home，his wife was standing in front of a large castle．

Life was good for a few days but early one morning the fisherman's wife said，"I want to be queen of the land．"The fisherman couldn't believe it．"I won't go，"he told her．"Then，I will never speak to you again，"she said．

After a troubled night's sleep，the fisherman went back to the fish and in a nervous voice told him the new wish．The fish told the man to return to his wife and said she would be queen of her land．

When he got home，his wife was crying and standing in front of their old shack．
