Question

【題目】More than anything else in the world, Lion liked being King of the jungle(叢林).He walked around, showing off his power and pride.

Each day Lion took a long lazy sleep under the shade of his favourite tree. He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing(鞠躬)before him.

One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over Lion's huge paws. Lion woke up with a start. "How dare you wake me up! " he shouted angrily. Lion hunted 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 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 favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunter's net. The net scooped(兜接)him up. No matter how he twisted and turned, he couldn't run away.

When Mouse heard Lion's frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed(咀嚼) through the ropes to make a hole in the net. Soon, Lion moved out and was free. Lion looked down at the little mouse."Thank you for saving my life," said Lion ,smiling his widest smile," I was mistaken. You are not a powerless little mouse. You are a great friend!"

【解析】本文是一則寓言故事。獅子驕傲自大，總是幻想其他的小動(dòng)物會(huì)對(duì)它俯首稱臣。一天，獅子威脅說(shuō)要把吵醒它的老鼠吃掉，老鼠向獅子求饒并承諾日后報(bào)答獅子。當(dāng)獅子被困在網(wǎng)中時(shí)，老鼠遵守了諾言，救了獅子一命。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句Each day Lion took a long lazy sleep under the shade of his favourite tree知獅子每天在它喜歡的樹下睡懶覺。故選B

【2】推斷題。根據(jù)"How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?" That thought made Lion laugh 可知，獅子看不起老鼠，因此它們不是好朋友，排除B；根據(jù)"How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?"可知，獅子不相信有一天會(huì)需要老鼠的幫助，排除D，顯然，A因?yàn)樗�被困在網(wǎng)中不是它讓老鼠走的原因。故選C。

【3】根據(jù)I was mistaken. You are not a powerless little mouse. You are a great friend!"可知，弱小的老鼠救出了被困的獅子，說(shuō)明在緊急關(guān)頭，不起眼的小事物也能發(fā)揮巨大的力量，故選C
