B
The birds of the forest had no king. All the birds thought they needed a king. But who would be the king? One said, “Let the bird who flies the highest be the king.” Everyone agreed. Eagle（老鹰）heard that and asked, “Why not make me the king now? I can fly the highest.”
“ ▲ ” said Sparrow（麻雀）.
“Oh! Who’s going to beat me? You?” Eagle laughed.
Owl started the race. When everyone was ready, Owl cried, “Whoo, whoo!” All the birds took to the air.
But they could not fly very high and fast for long. One by one, they dropped out of the race. Only Eagle went on flying.
“High, high... I’m the king in the sky...” he sang. He looked down and found all the birds giving up.
But Eagle did not know that little Sparrow was flying under one of his wings（翅膀）all the way. The time he stopped, Sparrow flew out. He flew just over the Eagle’s head and cried out, “No, no, no, Mr Eagle. I’m the king of the birds. Look! I am now flying higher than you.”
All the birds were very surprised to see Sparrow fly higher. They wanted Sparrow as their king. Eagle did not like this at all. So he caught Sparrow and threw him to the ground.
Sparrow got hurt, and half of his tail（尾巴）was cut off. From then on, Sparrow had a short tail.

解析
【分析】做英语阅读理解题时，需先通读全文把握故事主旨，再针对每个小题定位原文关键信息，结合语境分析选项。第6题需找选国王的标准；第7题要结合老鹰和麻雀的对话逻辑选合适句子；第8题梳理故事发展顺序；第9题根据上下文猜测短语含义；第10题提炼文章核心主旨。
【解析】
6. 细节理解题：定位原文第一段“Let the bird who flies the highest be the king.”可知，飞最高的鸟当国王，故选C。
7. 推理判断题：老鹰自夸飞最高要当国王，麻雀需反驳其想法，B项“你可能当不了国王”符合对话逻辑；A、C项表同意，D项表不会输，均不符合语境，故选B。
8. 细节排序题：梳理故事顺序：③鸟认为需要国王→④所有鸟起飞参赛→②麻雀飞得比鹰高→①麻雀被鹰扔伤后尾巴变短，对应顺序为③④②①，故选D。
9. 词义猜测题：原文提到其他鸟“could not fly very high and fast for long”，故“dropped out of”意为“退出”，对应A项Left，故选A。
10. 主旨大意题：全文围绕森林选鸟王的故事展开，核心是“谁是鸟王”，故选C。
