“They won't fly far with the heavy stones,” thought Crocodile. “When they fall into the 7, I'll get a free lunch!” “Ready?” shouted Crocodile. “Go!” Then he said in a 8 voice, “Or should I say lunchtime?”
The three birds lifted off 9 climbed high into the air. Pink, black, and white feathers floated down from the sky. “10 birds,” Crocodile said with a huge, toothy smile. “I can't believe they really listened to me.” He looked up, waiting for them to fall from the sky, but they 11 flying.

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一只鳄鱼想要通过愚弄三只小鸟使它们变成自己的午餐，结果三只鸟将计就计惩罚了鳄鱼。这个故事告诉我们要善于动脑筋，这样才能找到解决问题的方法。
1. D 根据“nothing to do except sitting in this big old tree”可知，此处是对对方的看法表示赞同。故选 D。
2. C 根据“There's nothing to do”可知，没有什么可做的，因此很无聊。故选 C。
3. A 根据“One hot day, three birds sat at the top of a tree near a river.”可知，鸟儿在河边的树上，鳄鱼在水中，因此是鳄鱼在下面听。故选 A。
4. C 根据“Best Flier”可知，鳄鱼让鸟儿比赛谁能用脚提着一块石头飞得最高。故选 C。
5. B 根据“will be the Best Flier”和常识可知，最好的飞行者是指赢得比赛的鸟。故选 B。
6. A 根据下文可知，其他两只鸟也参与了飞行“比赛”，所以当一只鸟起飞时，其他鸟迅速跟了上去。故选 A。
7. D 根据“When they fall into the... I'll get a free lunch!”和鳄鱼在水里等着吃鸟可知，鳄鱼认为鸟儿们会掉进河里。故选 D。
8. C 根据“Or should I say lunchtime?”可知，鳄鱼认为自己会有免费的午餐吃，此处它会低声说。故选 C。
9. A 句意：三只鸟起飞并飞升到空中。分析句子可知，前后句之间是顺承关系。故选 A。
10. B 根据“I can't believe they really listened to me.”可知，鳄鱼以为鸟儿们听从了他的建议，认为他们很愚蠢。故选 B。
11. D 根据“but”可知，后句句意转折，鸟儿们没有掉下来，而是继续飞行。故选 D。
12. B 根据“and rested with their stones in the same tree”可知，三只鸟飞回树上休息。故选 B。
13. A 根据“waiting for his free lunch”和“right into Crocodile's huge, open, laughing mouth”可知，鳄鱼等待他的免费午餐，可推知是很开心地大笑。故选 A。
14. C all the time 一直；for the first time 第一次；at the same time 同时；at times 有时。根据“All three stones dropped straight down”可知，三只鸟同时放开大石头。故选 C。
15. C 根据“All three stones dropped straight down, right into Crocodile's huge, open, laughing mouth.”可知，三块石头掉进鳄鱼的嘴里，导致它沉入水中。故选 C。

【分析】
做完这篇完形填空，首先第一步要先通读全文，理清故事的整体脉络：本文讲述了鳄鱼试图哄骗叼着石头飞行的小鸟掉进河里当午餐，反被小鸟用石头砸得沉进水里的趣味故事，明确故事主线后再逐空解题。解题时不要孤立看单个句子，要每道题都去前后文找对应的线索：比如第1空前面第一只鸟说无事可做，后面黑鸟补充说除了坐在老树上啥也没有，明显是对前者的观点表示认同；第3空要结合开头交代的小鸟在河边树顶的设定，鳄鱼在水里自然是在下方，所有题目都可以通过上下文的语境提示、词义辨析选出最贴合逻辑的选项，全部选完后再回读全文验证整体逻辑是否通顺。
【解析】
1. 考查情景交际。前文Pink Bird说“无事可做”，后文Black Bird补充“除了坐在这棵古老的大树上什么都没有”，说明Black Bird完全赞同前者的观点，Not at all一点也不，With pleasure乐意效劳，I don't agree我不同意，That's right没错，故选D。
2. 考查形容词辨析。前文反复提到无事可做，说明这一天是很无聊的，exciting令人兴奋的，interesting有趣的，boring无聊的，moving感人的，故选C。
3. 考查方位副词辨析。开头交代三只鸟坐在河边的树顶，鳄鱼漂浮在水面上，位置在小鸟的下方，below在下面，above在上面，left左边，right右边，故选A。
4. 考查动词辨析。后文提到了“Best Flier（最佳飞行者）”，说明比赛内容是脚叼着石头飞得最高，build建造，grow生长，fly飞，jump跳，故选C。
5. 考查动词辨析。比赛的获胜者会成为最佳飞行者，fails失败，wins获胜，drops掉落，rests休息，故选B。
6. 考查动词辨析。前文White Bird跳出树朝石头飞去，另外两只鸟也参与比赛，自然是迅速跟了上去，followed跟随，disagreed不同意，fell掉落，cheered欢呼，故选A。
7. 考查名词辨析。全文开头就交代场景在河边，鳄鱼在河里，它认为小鸟叼着重石头飞不远就会掉进河里，lake湖，sea海，stream小溪，river河，故选D。
8. 考查形容词辨析。鳄鱼不想让小鸟听到自己的坏心思，所以说“或者我该说午餐时间到了”这句话的时候是压低声音的，usual寻常的，kind友善的，low低的，high高的，故选C。
9. 考查连词辨析。“三只鸟起飞”和“升入高空”是顺承的先后动作，and表顺承，but表转折，so表因果，or表选择，故选A。
10. 考查形容词辨析。鳄鱼觉得小鸟居然真的听从自己的坏主意，认为它们很愚蠢，Careless粗心的，Foolish愚蠢的，Lazy懒惰的，Rude粗鲁的，故选B。
11. 考查动词辨析。句中but表转折，说明小鸟没有掉下来，而是继续飞行，stopped停止，avoided避免，practised练习，kept继续，故选D。
12. 考查副词辨析。后文提到它们带着石头回到同一棵树上休息，说明小鸟是飞回来了，away离开，back回来，high高地，around周围，故选B。
13. 考查动词辨析。鳄鱼以为自己马上就能吃到免费的午餐，开心地张大嘴大笑，laughed大笑，sang唱歌，tasted品尝，breathed呼吸，故选A。
14. 考查短语辨析。后文说三块石头直直掉下去，说明三只鸟是同时松开石头的，all the time一直，for the first time第一次，at the same time同时，at times有时，故选C。
15. 考查名词辨析。三块石头全部掉进鳄鱼嘴里，石头的重量让鳄鱼沉进了河里，noise噪音，wind风，weight重量，food食物，故选C。
