【分析】
本题为语法填空，需结合短文语境、固定搭配、词性变化及动词时态等知识解题。先通读短文理解灰姑娘的故事背景，再逐个分析每个空：1空需根据逻辑关系填连词；2空需用副词修饰句子；3空需注意a pair of后名词的复数形式；4空考查固定搭配；5空考查固定短语的动名词形式；6空考查固定连词短语；7空需用动词过去式；8空考查固定短语；9空考查固定搭配；10空考查固定短语。
【解析】
1. 语境逻辑：灰姑娘不完成家务就不能吃饭，可理解为“除非完成家务，否则不能吃饭”，填连词unless；或“在完成家务之前不能吃饭”，填before，故答案为unless/before。
2. 此处需副词修饰整个句子，名词luck的副词形式为Luckily，句首首字母大写，故填Luckily。
3. a pair of表示“一双”，后接可数名词复数，shoe的复数为shoes，故填shoes。
4. 固定搭配tell sb to do sth（告诉某人做某事），此处填动词不定式to come，故填to come。
5. 固定短语can't stop doing sth（忍不住做某事），fall的动名词形式为falling，故填falling。
6. 固定连词短语as soon as（一……就……），符合语境“王子一看到她就爱上她”，故填soon。
7. 全文为一般过去时，chiming作定语修饰clock，谓语动词需用过去式，remind的过去式为reminded，故填reminded。
8. 固定短语at once（立刻），故填at。
9. 固定搭配try to do sth（尽力做某事），此处填动词不定式to cheat，故填to cheat。
10. 固定短语get married（结婚），故填married。

1. unless/before 2. Luckily 3. shoes 4. to come 5. falling 6. soon 7. reminded 8. at 9. to cheat 10. married

六、阅读表达(共5小题,计10分)
Did you watch your dog bury(埋) his favourite bone but dig it up only a day or two days later? There is actually a reason behind this — it’s simply in their nature. For thousands of years, dogs have buried their bones.
When dogs lived in the wild, sometimes food was hard to find. If they were able to find meat and bones, dogs had to protect them. In order to keep other dogs and animals from finding their meat, dogs would bury it in the ground. Even though most dogs have lots of food to eat today, their instincts(本能) still tell them to bury their bones. Some dogs hide(藏) more than one bone at a time.
A dog cannot bury a bone just anywhere. He must first find the perfect place. Often it’s near a tree or a large rock. Once the dog finds the perfect place, he uses his front feet to dig the hole, drops the bone and covers up the hole to protect it. Dogs don’t always remember where a bone is buried, but they
have a wonderful sense of smell. A dog can smell a bone even if it has been buried for years. Most of the time, dogs find bones they have buried by themselves. But they can also find bones buried by other dogs.
1. Why did dogs in the wild bury their bones?

2. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

3. What’s the first step a dog takes to bury a bone?

4. What does the passage mainly talk about?

5. 将文中画线句子译成汉语。

1. To protect their food.
2. The meat and bones.
3. He finds the perfect place.
4. Dogs bury their favourite bone.
5. 大多数时候,狗会发现它们自己埋的骨头。
