三、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,每小题1分,共15分)
阅读下面的材料,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A mouse looked through a hole in the wall to see a farmer and his wife opening a box. However, he was shocked to find that it was a mousetrap(老鼠夹).
Going out, the mouse shouted to its friends, "There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The chicken thought for a while and said, "I can tell this is a big problem for you, but it is nothing to me."
The pig said, "I am sorry, but there is nothing I can do about it."
The cow answered, "I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin(皮肤)off my nose."
That very night, they all heard the sound of a mousetrap. In the darkness, the farmer's wife did not see that it was a snake whose tail(尾巴)was caught in the trap. She reached her hand out for the mousetrap and the snake bit her. She was taken to the hospital and returned home with a fever.
The farmer needed chicken soup to treat(治疗)her fever, so he went out and killed the chicken to make the soup. But she was still sick after eating it, so her friends came to visit her. To feed them, the farmer killed the pig. Sadly, the wife died the next morning. Many people came to her funeral(葬礼), so the farmer killed the cow to provide enough meat for all of them.
Next time, if you hear someone is facing a problem and think it has nothing to do with you, think about it again. When one of us is in danger, we are all at risk because we are all living under the same sky.

26. C 根据“The chicken thought for a while and said, ‘I can tell this is a big problem for you, but it is nothing to me.’”, “The pig said, ‘I am sorry, but there is nothing I can do about it.’”及“The cow answered, ‘I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.’”可知,动物们对老鼠的警告毫不在意。故选C。
27. B 根据“In the darkness, the farmer’s wife did not see that it was a snake whose tail was caught in the trap.”可知,那天晚上老鼠夹夹住的是蛇。故选B。
28. C 根据“She reached her hand out for the mousetrap and the snake bit her.”可知,农夫的妻子被蛇咬了。故选C。
29. A 根据“The farmer needed chicken soup to treat her fever, so he went out and killed the chicken to make the soup. But she was still sick after eating it, so her friends came to visit her. To feed them, the farmer killed the pig. Sadly, the wife died the next morning. Many people came to her funeral, so the farmer killed the cow to provide enough meat for all of them.”可知,鸡、猪、牛均被宰杀,农夫的妻子去世,而老鼠最初发出警告且未被提及死亡,可推断老鼠可能幸存。故选A。
30. B 根据“Next time, if you hear someone is facing a problem and think it has nothing to do with you, think about it again. When one of us is in danger, we are all at risk because we are all living under the same sky.”及全文内容可知,一个人的困境可能影响他人,因为没有人可以孤立于周围的人和事,在灾难面前,没有人可以独善其身。故选B。
