A. See the elephant
B. The elephant in the room
C. However, someone would take the goat out to make the horse lose the race!

答案
训练2【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了三个与动物有关的英语习语。
1. B 根据下文“In the story, a man visits a museum and notices all kinds of small and unimportant things, but doesn't see a huge elephant in the room.”可知本段介绍的习语是用来形容明显存在却被忽视的问题。故选B。
易错点拨
本题易错选A项。see the elephant表示“开眼界”。
2. G 根据上文“In the story, a man visits a museum and notices all kinds of small and unimportant things, but doesn't see a huge elephant in the room.”可知本段介绍的习语用来形容明显存在却被忽视的问题。故选G。
3. E 根据小标题“Get someone's goat”和下文“This expression comes from...”可知此处介绍这一习语的起源；此处与空前是转折关系。故选E。
＞＞转折关系
4. C 根据上文“To calm down an easily sad horse, its owner would put a goat in the stall the night before the race.”可知马主人赛马前把马与山羊关在一起以使其冷静，但有人会拿走山羊，让马因为焦躁而输掉比赛；此处与空前是转折关系。故选C。
＞＞转折关系
5. F 根据小标题“Have (or get) one's ducks in a row”和上文“As long as this line is kept, any baby duck that falls behind would be easy to notice.”可知本段介绍的习语用来形容把事情安排得井井有条；此处与空前是因果关系。故选F。

解析
【分析】
这是一篇介绍英语动物类习语的说明文阅读补全题，解题可以按三步推进：第一步先通读全文和所有选项，明确文章一共介绍3个独立习语，每部分内容都遵循“习语名称-起源故事-语义引申/实际用法”的固定结构；第二步逐空定位上下文线索：第1空是段首主题句，后文明确提到故事里的参观者没注意到房间里的大象，对应“房间里的大象”这个习语，排除含义不匹配的易混A选项；第2空放在大象相关的起源故事之后，需要承接故事内容，说明这个习语的现代实际用法；第3空在“Get someone's goat”板块，前文只讲了字面含义，后文要引出习语的真实起源，需要过渡句衔接；第4空前文提到赛马前主人放山羊安抚马匹，要顺着转折逻辑推导后续破坏比赛的行为；第5空放在鸭子排队的起源故事之后，需要通过因果逻辑引申出习语的实际含义；第三步把选出的答案代入全文通读，验证逻辑通顺、内容没有冲突即可。
【解析】
1. 空处位于段首，是本段介绍的习语名称，根据后文内容“故事里参观博物馆的人只注意到无关紧要的小物件，完全没看到房间里的巨型大象”，可知本段介绍的习语是“房间里的大象”，指代所有人都刻意回避的明显问题，A选项“See the elephant”含义为“开眼界”和后文内容不匹配，因此选B。
2. 空处位于大象相关的起源故事之后，承接上文故事内容，引出该习语的现代用法：现在这个表达用来指代所有人都避而不谈的巨大问题，语义衔接自然，因此选G。
3. 空处位于“Get someone's goat”部分，前文仅提到字面含义“拿走别人的山羊对方会生气”，后文马上引出该习语的真实起源，此处用转折过渡句“但‘get someone's goat’这个表达的起源要有趣得多”衔接上下文，逻辑通顺，因此选E。
4. 空处前文提到赛马前主人会把山羊放到马厩里安抚容易焦躁的马，此处用转折句“然而，有人会把山羊带走，让马输掉比赛！”承接，解释了“get someone's goat”表示“惹恼某人”的起源逻辑，因此选C。
5. 空处前文提到鸭妈妈会带着小鸭子排成整齐的队伍出行，此处用因果衔接句“所以如果你‘have (or get) your ducks in a row’，意思就是你把所有事情都安排得井井有条”，从起源引申出习语的实际含义，逻辑匹配，因此选F。
【答案】
1. B 2. G 3. E 4. C 5. F
