【解析】：
1. 根据短文内容，老老虎想要一只胖猪。文中提到，“I am hungry. Go to the village and bring me a fat pig.”，所以选择B，即一只胖猪。
2. 猴子说它害怕另一只老虎，“I’m afraid of him.”表明猴子害怕那只老虎，因此选择B，即“of”。
3. 文中提到，“They get on to a bridge on the river.”，意思是他们来到了河上的一座桥。所以第一个空应该填“on”，但选项中给出的是到桥的方式，应理解为他们来到了桥上，即“get to the bridge”；第二个空描述桥的位置，是在河上，用“over the river”表示。由于选项中只有“to; over”符合“到达桥；在河上”的意思，因此选择A。
4. 文中提到，“The tiger is angry and jumps into the water to eat another tiger.”，意思是老虎生气了，跳进水里想去吃另一只老虎。所以选择A，即“into”。
【答案】：
1. B
2. B
