B篇 Jack and the Olympics
Think about it: What can Jack do?
The Animal Olympics are coming. The parrot Jack wants to participate. What can he do? Frogs can swim. But Jack can't. Jack learns to swim. But it's too hard for him. Monkeys can play basketball. But Jack can't. Because the ball is too big for him. Can Jack run fast? No, he can't. The road is too long for him. Jack learns to box(击打), walk, jump and shoot. But he can't make it. Jack can't play any sports. "There's one thing I can do!" Jack says, "I can speak many languages(语言). I know the sports well. I can be a commentator(现场解说员)!"

【分析】
首先通读故事，梳理Jack的经历：动物奥运会来临，鹦鹉Jack想参加，先后尝试游泳、篮球、跑步、拳击等运动均失败，最后想到自己会多国语言、了解运动，决定当解说员。任务一需按故事发展顺序给配图排序；任务二的题目需结合原文语境和细节逐一分析，比如词义猜测题要结合上下文逻辑，细节题要回原文定位对应信息。
【解析】
任务一：故事发展顺序为：①Jack想参加动物奥运会（对应C）；②尝试游泳失败（对应B）；③尝试篮球失败（对应A）；④尝试跑步失败（对应E）；⑤决定当解说员（对应D），故排序为C B A E D。
任务二：1. 词义猜测题：结合“The Animal Olympics are coming. The parrot Jack wants to participate”可知，Jack想参加奥运会，“participate”意为“参加”，选A；2. 细节题：原文“Jack can't make it”（指学跳等运动没成功），说明Jack不会跳，选B；3. 细节题：原文“Jack can't play any sports”，说明他不擅长运动，选B；4. 细节题：原文“I know the sports well”，说明他了解运动，选A；5. 细节题：原文“I can be a commentator”，说明他能当解说员，选B。
【答案】
任务一：C B A E D；任务二：1.A 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.B
