A. 传统文化 阅读短文,选择最佳选项。
One sunny day,by a calm river,a hungry snipe was looking for food. He saw a clam lying on the sand,its shell(壳)wide open,enjoying the sun. The snipe thought,“What a yummy meal!”
He flew down and tried to bite the clam’s soft meat inside. But when his long beak(鸟喙)went in,the smart clam quickly closed its shell! The snipe’s beak was caught,and he couldn’t pull it out.
The bird wanted to eat the clam,but the clam didn’t want to be eaten. They held onto each other tightly. Neither of them wanted to give up. They only thought about themselves. They didn’t think about what might happen later.
Just then,a fisherman walked by. He saw the snipe and the clam. Both were stuck and could not move. He smiled and easily picked them both up.

解析
【分析】
这是一篇英译中国传统寓言的阅读理解题,解题思路如下:1. 第1题先梳理故事核心元素:水鸟(鹬)、蚌、河边的场景,再逐一匹配四幅图对应的典故,排除不符合的选项;2. 第2-4题属于细节题,直接回到原文定位对应题干的描述语句,将选项和原文内容逐一比对,排除表述错误的选项即可选出正确答案;3. 第5题是主旨大意题,结合故事结局提炼故事想要传递的道理,排除片面、不符合逻辑的选项,选出最贴合主旨的答案。
【解析】
1. 逐一辨析四幅图对应的典故:A图是老虎和狐狸,对应“狐假虎威”的故事;B图是水鸟(鹬)和蚌在河边的场景,完全匹配本文“鹬蚌相争”的故事内容;C图文字标注“愿者上钩”,对应“姜太公钓鱼”的典故;D图是孩童拉弓对准飞鸟,对应“惊弓之鸟”的典故,因此选B。
2. 定位原文第一段"One sunny day,by a calm river,a hungry snipe was looking for food.",可知鹬在河边是寻找食物,search for food和look for food含义完全一致,对应选项C,其余选项表述均和原文不符。
3. 定位原文第二段"But when his long beak went in,the smart clam quickly closed its shell! The snipe’s beak was caught",可知鹬的鸟喙被夹住的原因是蚌快速合上了壳,对应选项B,其余选项原文均未提及。
4. 定位原文最后一段"Just then,a fisherman walked by...He smiled and easily picked them both up.",可知最后鹬和蚌都被渔夫抓走了,对应选项D,其余选项均不符合故事结局。
5. 整个故事中鹬和蚌互不相让,谁都不肯先松手,最终双双被渔夫捕获,说明互不退让的争斗会让双方都蒙受损失,对应选项B。选项A表述和故事传递的道理相悖,选项C是片面的错误表述,选项D是无关的表面信息,都不是故事的主旨。
