Crow did this several more times,and each time he caught a fish.Soon,both his bags were filled with food.As he started home,he said to himself,"My bags are so heavy with fish and ducks,I can barely carry them.What a feast I'll have when I arrive at home!" Hawk,on the other hand,was not nearly so successful.For a long while,he had followed a kangaroo,only to eventually lose sight of it in the forest.Then he tried to catch some fish in the river.However,Crow had made the water muddy and had frightened the fish away.Starving( and tired,Hawk said to himself,"I think I had better go home.Perhaps Crow has caught some food.I know he'll share some with me." But when he got home,Hawk found Crow lying on the ground,fat with food.Behind him, there was a large pile of fish and ducks'bones."Is there any food left?"asked Hawk."I'm starving.” "No,you were too slow.I cooked and ate it all,"said Crow. Hawk became furious and yelled,"What a selfish crow you are!We agreed to share,but you were so greedy that you ate all the food.I couldn't catch anything all day.I'm tired and hungry,but you've saved nothing for me." "You were probably just too lazy,"replied Crow."I bet you were sleeping and sunbathing all day,instead of looking for food. Hawk lost his temper and attacked Crow.They fell to the ground and started wrestling.For a long time,they struggled near the edge of the dying campfire that Crow had used to cook his food. As they were fighting,Hawk grabbed Crow and rolled him into the ash."That serves you for being so greedy,”he said. Crow got up and looked at his feathers.They were completely black."Look at what you've done！”he yelled to Hawk..“My feathers are ruined！” Then he ran to the river and tried to wash away the black ash from his feathers.

Actually,not quite all of them were happy.There were four ducks who had only received one leg each.Because of this,their lives were very difficult.If they wanted to go somewhere,they had to hop on one foot,which was slow and tiring. The ducks also had trouble finding food.When one of the ducks spotted()some grains,a chicken would always run and eat them first.The ducks couldn't catch fish easily,because with only one leg,it was difficult for them to swim. After much discussion,they decided to ask the rooster to write to the Jade Emperor.So,the next day,the ducks called on the rooster and told him what they needed. "Of course,I can write a letter for you.But the road to the Emperor's Palace is probably too long for four lame ducks. Though the one-legged ducks were offended(),they realized that the rooster was right. The ducks felt sad..Just then,a water buffalo(水牛)appeared.“What's wrong with you?”he asked. After the ducks explained their situation,the buffalo said,"You can go to the spirit of the village for help in the temple.He speaks to the Jade Emperor all the time." The ducks started off towards the temple immediately.When they got there,they heard a voice."Incense burners()should only have four legs,but this one has eight.Get rid of the four extra legs now.” After they explained to the spirit why they came,the spirit said,"What has been done by the Jade Emperor cannot be undone." “But,”one duck said,“we heard you talking about extra legs..Could we have those?” The spirit started to laugh."Those legs are for an incense burner,not for a duck.But they might just fit a duck.Let's see...' The spirit got the legs and tried to attach()them to the ducks.They fitted perfectly. Before they left the temple,the spirit said to the ducks,"Those legs are made of gold.You must guard them carefully." The ducks never forgot their promise to guard their legs.And when they went to sleep at night,they stood on one foot,their golden legs lifted up into their bodies,so no one could steal them.Soon other ducks saw how the ducks slept and started copying them.So even today,ducks still sleep on one leg. -Just So Stories ()1.How many things did the one-legged ducks have difficulty doing in the article?

Two days went by,but no food or water.What would Androcles do?How could he live? All of a sudden,there was a deep moan.Then a full,big roar."Oh,my god!"said Androcles."It's a lion!"Full of fear,he ran as fast as his legs could go.But Androcles did not see a tree root under his foot.Then,the trap!His face went down on the ground.And his foot was stuck. He had to get his foot free from the root,and fast!Soon Androcles was up on his feet again but-oh no!There coming slowly right at him was the lion!It moaned and walked in an odd way."Could it be hurt?"Androcles froze in fear. The lion held out one paw to Androcles,and moaned again. After a bit,Androcles said,“Are you hurt?” The lion gave Androcles a big sad look,like a kitten."I must be out of my mind to even think about doing this,"he said.Just the same,Androcles stepped closer to the lion.And what did he see in the paw held out to him?One big ugly thorn！“You poor thing！”said Androcles in a soft voice. He knew the lion would not feel better until the thorn was gone.But should he pull it out? That would hurt a lot,and the lion could get very mad!But the beast looked at Androcles with very big eyes.And he gave such a low,sad moan that Androcles knew at once what he must do. With great care,Androcles stepped close to the lion.He set his two hands on the paw.In one quick flash,he drew out the thorn.The lion roared and roared with pain!Androcles cried out in fear,"What a mess I am in!"But as if the lion knew his paw would get better and it was all thanks to Androcles,he gave Androcles one big lick on the leg. From then on,the lion did all it could to show Androcles how glad that it was the thorn was gone.Soon the lion brought back a deer it had slain.Androcles was able to make his first meal in days!Every day the lion would bring food.Androcles would pet the beast on his head and talk to him in a tender way. One day,soldiers from Rome were in the woods,looking for runaway slaves.When they heard a voice,they hid behind some trees.When Androcles walked by,the soldiers could tell by his torn robe and dirty feet that he must be a slave.So they jumped out and grabbed him!During the time when his two hands were tied up by a rope,the soldiers bounded Androcles and dragged him back to Rome. 029 English Masterpiece 中考英语名著阅读得高分>》 Reading In those days in Rome,a slave would die if he had run away and was caught again.Even worse,such slaves might be thrown to lions and Romans would watch their terrible fate. Androcles was told he would be thrown to lions.On that day,he was led to the place where he would be left alone with a hungry lion.He was left with only one small spear to keep himself safe from the beast. The Emperor was in the royal box that day.He gave the sign for the lion to come out and attack.But when the beast rushed out of its cage and leaped to Androcles,what do you think it did?Instead of attacking,it stopped right next to him.Instead of jumping on Androcles,the lion stroked him with a paw. As you must know by now,this was the very same lion Androcles had met in the woods! The Emperor,surprised to see a lion act in such an odd way,called him over. “Slave,”said the Emperor,“explain this.”Androcles told the Emperor what happened in the woods.And how glad the lion was when he had taken out the thorn.The Emperor could not believe such a tale.Yet he knew it must be true.Even at that very moment,the lion was rubbing its head on Androcle's leg.So the Emperor said that Androcles could go free.The lion was taken back to the forest,and let loose to enjoy its freedom once more. moan [maon_ n.呻吟（声）；抱怨；呼啸声 v.呻吟；抱怨；呼啸 odd [nd] adj.奇怪的；怪异的；偶然出现的；不成对的 thorn [Oo:n] n.刺；荆棘 slay [sler] V.杀害；杀死；深深打动 fate fert] n.命运的安排；天意；定数；命运 spear [spIo n矛；标枪；嫩枝 ⑦.用矛刺；用尖物刺穿 stroke [straok_ v.轻抚；轻触；轻拭 n.尾桨手；轻抚；击球；一击；划水动作 030民间故事 完形填空 【文章大意】乌龟欺骗鸟儿们带他去了天上的聚会， 但他吃光了最好的食物。鸟儿们很生气，就收回了送 给乌龟的羽毛。鸟龟让鹦鹉带信给他的妻子在地上 铺上柔软的东西以便降落，但鹦鹉却叫鸟龟的妻子铺 上坚硬的东西。乌龟的壳被摔碎了，他的妻子叫来医 生用胶水把它们粘上了。 【答案】 1.C2.D3.D4.B5.A6.C7.B8.D 9.A10.B11.C12.C13.A14.A15.D 短文填空 【文章大意】一天早上，乌鸦与老鹰一起狩猎，但一无 所获，于是他们决定分开行动。乌鸦来到池塘，把一 根空心芦苇含进嘴里，潜到了水下。当鸭子游到他的 头顶时，他抓住并杀死了鸭子。乌鸦觉得自己很聪 明，准备用长矛抓鱼。 【答案】 1.proud 2.however 3.filled 4.hid 5.swimming 6.rocks 7.be seen 8.completely 9.The 10.with 信息还原 【文章大意】住在海边的男人烤了一个蛋糕却被犀牛 抢走了。几周以后，犀牛因为天气太热把皮脱下来下 海降温。男人想到了报复犀牛的好主意。他烤了一 个坚硬的蛋糕，把蛋糕屑放进犀牛皮中。当犀牛上岸 穿上自己的皮时，皮里面的蛋糕屑使它痒极了，它不 停地抓挠，最终皮肤上形成褶皱。 中考英语名著阴 【答案】 1.B2.G3.A4.F5.D 首字母短文填空 【文章大意】很久以前，有一个勇敢的年轻英雄名叫 苏珊诺。一天晚上，他来到了一对老夫妇家。老夫妇 告诉苏珊诺他们的七个女儿都被八头龙抓走了，现在 它一定会抓走他们最后一个女儿。苏珊诺得知这条 龙明天就要来了，决定杀死它。 【答案】 1.who 2.walking 3.so 4.hoping 5.An 6.greeted 7.sadness 8.have 9.called 10.with 阅读与回答问题 【文章大意】本文主要讲述了罗宾汉通过巧妙的计 谋，揭露警长罪行并救出被困乞丐的故事。 【答案】 1.He was in the storehouse. 2.At sunset. 3.Yes,they did. 4.Because Robin Hood wanted to save Malbete from the storehouse. 5.He was brave/helpful..(言之有理即可) 阅读理解 【文章大意】乌鸦捕到了许多鱼，他准备回家吃一顿 大餐。老鹰什么都没抓到，当他回到家时，发现乌鸦 把鱼和鸭都吃完了，没给自己留一点。老鹰很生气， 与乌鸦打了起来。乌鸦的羽毛都沾上了篝火的灰，羽 毛变成了黑色。 读得高分·答案 05· 【答案解析】 1.C根据第一段的内容可知，本段是介绍乌鸦捕鱼 的过程。故选C。 2.D根据第三段中的“For a long while,he had followed a kangaroo,only to eventually lose sight of it in the forest.”可知，老鹰一开始把时间浪费在了 追逐袋鼠上。故选D。 3.B根据第五段中的“‘No,you were too slow.I cooked and ate it all,’said Crow.”可知，鸟鸦把食 物吃光了。故选B。 4.A根据画线词后的yelled可知，老鹰吼叫了起 来，证明老鹰非常生气。故选A。 阅读理解 【文章大意】本文讲述了豹子和埃塞俄比亚人合作抓 捕猎物的故事。 【答案解析】 1.A根据第三段中的“‘To the hills,’the baboon told them.‘But you will not find them easily.’” 可知，佛佛告诉他们长颈鹿和斑马在山里。故 选A。 2.B根据第七段中的“He did not know what it was,but it smelled like a zebra.”可知，晚上猎豹 抓的可能是斑马。故选B。 3.C根据最后一段“Now it was difficult for other animals to see him among the trees.He was able to hunt them and have food again.”可知，一旦猎 豹能隐藏起来，斑马和长颈鹿就会有危险。故 选C。 4.A通读全文可知，动物们改变身上的颜色是为了 生存。故选A。 5.C根据倒数第三段中的“.the Ethiopian said to the leopard,'I will make you difficult to see.I 中考英语名著阅 will take some of the colour from my skin and put it on you.’”可知，豹子是在埃塞俄比亚人的帮助 下才能捕获其他动物。故选C。 阅读理解 【文章大意】从前有四只鸭子生活很艰难，因为他们 都只有一条腿。他们听从水牛的建议去寺庙里寻求 帮助，刚到庙里时他们听说香炉多了四条腿。鸭子请 求把多余的腿给他们。神灵叫鸭子们要小心保护金 子做的腿，所以鸭子总是单腿睡觉。 【答案解析】 l.C根据第二段中的“If they wanted to go somewhere,they had to hop on one foot,which was slow and tiring.”和第三段中的“The ducks also had trouble finding food...it was difficult for them to swim.”可知，对这四只鸭子来说，去某个 地方、找食物和游泳都很难。故选C。 2.B根据第四段中的“So,the next day,the ducks...the rooster and told him what they needed..”可知，鸭子们去拜访公鸡。故选B。 3.C根据第七段中的“You can go to the spirit of the village for help in the temple.He speaks to the Jade Emperor all the time.”可知，神灵住在寺 庙，能与玉皇大帝说话。故选C。 4.D通读全文可知，鸭子们历经辛苦，终于得到了第二 条腿。这个故事告诉我们：有志者事竟成。故选D。 悬疑故事 完形填空 【文章大意】律师厄特森先生是个腼腆、真诚的好人， 他的远房表亲理查德·恩菲尔德是交际场里的老手， 但他们却是朋友，经常一起散步。有一天他们经过了 读得高分·答案 6·
