1. A 提示:small意为"小的";tall意为"高的";
heavy意为"重的";flat意为"平的"。句意:当动物刚出生时,它们又小又无助。
2. A 提示:later意为"以后";ago意为"以前";
before意为"在……之前";soon意为"很快"。句意:但是仅仅几天之后,它们就在走路并观察周围的世界了。"一段时间+later"意为"……之后"。
3. B 提示:fail意为"失败";laugh意为"笑";shout意为"喊叫";sleep意为"睡觉"。根据空后"because of the funny things they do"可推知,因为它们做的有趣的事情会让我们笑。
4. C 提示:stone意为"石头";flag意为"旗帜";toy意为"玩具";scissors意为"剪刀"。句意:当我们想到孩子时,我们常常会想到他们玩玩具。
5. B 提示:forget意为"忘记";learn意为"学习";fight意为"打架";collect意为"收集"。句意:当它们玩耍时,它们在享受乐趣,但它们也在学习。
6. D 提示:read意为"读";write意为"写";check意为"检查";bite意为"咬"。句意:例如,你的小狗咬你的作业或者你的新鞋子,这可不好!结合四个选项,只有动词bite符合语境。

9. D 提示:what意为"什么";how意为"怎样";where意为"哪里";why意为"为什么"。下文"Maybe because we like it when animals behave like we do."解释了原因,由此推断此处问为什么我们会说"Aww!"。
