At first, he was afraid. But the need to know and understand was greater than his fear, so he went out. He soon discovered that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of the cave. And he fell, screaming in fear. But he soon sat up, and started walking and looking around him. He met a squirrel, and a woodpecker (啄木鸟), both of which moved away from him. So he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place, and other things that moved. He had beginner’s luck when he fell into a ptarmigan’s (雷鸟的) nest. In the nest were seven chicks. He realized this was meat, like his mother gave him. So he ate them all. As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan attacked him. He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth. He was excited and happy. He was fighting for meat, fighting to kill. It was what wolves did. He learnt another important lesson. Then he left the ptarmigan free and rested. As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle. He was learning. Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things. Later something small jumped in front of him, so he put his paw on it. It was a young weasel (鼬鼠). It made strange noises, and soon the mother weasel appeared. She jumped at his neck and bit him with sharp teeth. She wasn’t big, but he didn’t know how dangerous weasels were. Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat. He tried to fight, but the weasel held on. The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his frightened calls and came to save him. 1．Why did the grey cub want to go outside? A．Because he wanted to hunt food by himself B．Because he wanted to look for his mum. C．Because he wanted to know the world outside.

He was bitten in the throat and was dying. d. He saw something pick up the ptarmigan. e. He had a fight with the mother ptarmigan.

A．Live things were meat and it was better to eat big live things. B．Not all the things stayed in one place in the world. C．Live things should fight for meat and fight to the end. D．The floor of the world was not different from that of the cave. 5．What’s the best title for the story? A．The Grey Cub’s First Adventure B．The Law of Meat C．The Grey Cub in Danger D．Mothers’ Fights for Children 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文主要讲了一只幼兽走出洞穴去探索世界的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文中“But the need to know and understand was greater than his fear, so he went out.”可知，幼兽想出去是因为想了解外面的世界。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段“And he fell, screaming in fear.”、第二段“He met a squirrel, and a woodpecker, both of which moved away from him.”、第三段“He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth.”、第四段“As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle.”和最后一段“Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat. He tried to fight, but the weasel held on. The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his frightened calls and came to save him.”可知，首先他摔倒了，害怕地尖叫；接下来他遇到了一只松鼠和一只啄木鸟；在他离开巢穴的时候，雷鸟妈妈袭击了他，他用小牙齿咬她的翅膀反击；鹰从上空冲下来，叼起雷鸟，飞回了天空；被咬住了喉咙，差点死了。所以正确的顺序是a-b-e-d-c。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第一段“At first, he was afraid.

And he fell screaming in fear.”、第三段“He was excited and happy.”和最后一段“The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his frightened calls and came to save him.”可知，一开始很害怕、好奇、恐惧；后来，他很高兴、兴奋；最后，他很惊恐。所以他的感受依次是害怕、兴奋、高兴、惊恐。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文中“He soon discovered that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of the cave.”可知，幼兽学到了外面的地不都像是洞中的地一样平。所以B选项“并不是所有的东西都留在世界上的一个地方。”最符合题意。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。根据全文可知，本文主要讲了一只幼兽走出洞穴去探索世界的故事，所以选项B“灰幼崽的不寻常经历”最适合作为本文的标题。故选A。 一、任务型阅读 Long long ago, there lived a giraffe in the forest. He was the tallest of all the animals, so he was too proud (骄傲的) and always looked down on (轻视) others. A monkey decided to teach the giraffe a lesson. One day, the monkey led the giraffe to a tree. He said to the giraffe, “Look at the tall tree. There’s some lovely fruit growing on the tree, but you wouldn’t be able to pick it.” The giraffe said, “It is impossible. Just watch me.” He tried to pick the fruit, but it was just out of reach. “I said you couldn’t reach it, but I can,” said the monkey. Then, the monkey jumped onto the giraffe’s back. He reached out his arm and picked the fruit. The monkey said, “We could not do it alone, but we can do it together. So, don’t be so proud.” After that, the giraffe didn’t boast (吹嘘) any more.

So, don’t be so proud”可知从这个故事中我们可以学到：团结协作是重要的，不要太骄傲。故填Teamwork is important and one shouldn’t be too proud. Once upon a time, in the forest there lived a baby elephant, who had no friends. None of the animals wanted to be his friend because he was too large. One day, a wild fire happened in the forest. The animals ran to safer places. The dry trees caught fire and the fire was sure to go all around the forest. The baby elephant ran to the nearest river, collected much water in his trunk (象鼻) and rushed to the burning trees. He sprayed (喷) the water on the fire. Finally, he put out the fire.

On a cold winter day, a strong wind was blowing. 2 By chance, a hole was made in their nest. The cold wind blew in through the hole and got away the warmth from the nest. The birds started feeling cold. Nick thought, “I wonder why Cici is so lazy (懒惰)? Why is she not repairing (修复) the hole?” On the other hand, Cici thought that Nick would fill the hole. They were depending on each other. 3 Soon snow started to fall and the wind nearly blew off the last warm air from the inside of their nest. The snowflakes entered the nest through the hole. The lazy birds started shivering (颤) with cold. 4 In the morning, the birds were dead in their nest. They had shivered to death but because of laziness they had not got up to repair the hole. Life is the same. Some people never get success. 5 Do you think so? A．They were very lazy. B．There was some snowfall too. C．So they did not repair the hole. D．They flew away to find some food. E．But no one was active enough to work. F．Because their laziness blows out the chances (机会). 二、阅读理解 More than anything else in the world, Lion liked being King of the jungle.

One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over (被……绊倒) Lion’s huge paws. Lion woke up with a start. “How dare you wake me up” he shouted angrily. Lion grabbed Mouse with one paw. “On the second thought, I’m in the mood for the snack, and you’ll make a delicious meal,” he said. Mouse cried out, “King Lion, please spare (饶恕) me If you let me live, I’ll always remember your kindness. And, some day, I might be able to help you.” “How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?” That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go. A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the way to his favorite tree when he stepped onto a hunter’s net. The net scooped (掘，兜) him up. No matter how he twisted and turned, he couldn’t escape (逃脱). When Mouse heard Lion’s frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed (咬) through the ropes to make a hole in the net.

One day, while his mother was out hunting, the grey cub found the way out of the cave. At first, he was afraid. But the need to know and understand was greater than his fear, so he went out. He soon discovered that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of the cave. And he fell, screaming in fear. But he soon sat up, and started walking and looking around him. He met a squirrel, and a woodpecker (啄木鸟), both of which moved away from him. So he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place, and other things that moved. He had beginner’s luck when he fell into a ptarmigan’s (雷鸟的) nest. In the nest were seven chicks. He realized this was meat, like his mother gave him. So he ate them all. As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan attacked him. He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth. He was excited and happy. He was fighting for meat, fighting to kill. It was what wolves did. He learnt another important lesson. Then he left the ptarmigan free and rested. As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle. He was learning. Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things. Later something small jumped in front of him, so he put his paw on it. It was a young weasel (鼬鼠). It made strange noises, and soon the mother weasel appeared. She jumped at his neck and bit him with sharp teeth. She wasn’t big, but he didn’t know how dangerous weasels were. Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat. He tried to fight, but the weasel held on.

He was the tallest of all the animals, so he was too proud (骄傲的) and always looked down on (轻视) others. A monkey decided to teach the giraffe a lesson. One day, the monkey led the giraffe to a tree. He said to the giraffe, “Look at the tall tree. There’s some lovely fruit growing on the tree, but you wouldn’t be able to pick it.” The giraffe said, “It is impossible. Just watch me.” He tried to pick the fruit, but it was just out of reach. “I said you couldn’t reach it, but I can,” said the monkey. Then, the monkey jumped onto the giraffe’s back. He reached out his arm and picked the fruit. The monkey said, “We could not do it alone, but we can do it together. So, don’t be so proud.” After that, the giraffe didn’t boast (吹嘘) any more.
