【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了
《夏洛的网》中的故事。
1. B 提示:句意:这是一个关于两只动物的故事:一
只叫威尔伯的小猪和一只叫夏洛的蜘蛛。根据后
面提到的“a little pig”和“a spider”可知,此处指两
只动物animals。
2. C 提示:句意:威尔伯在那里没有朋友,其他动物
都瞧不起他。
3. B 提示:way意为“道路”;life意为“生活”;hobby
意为“爱好”;taste意为“味道”。根据句意,当他遇
到蜘蛛夏洛时,夏洛成了他的好朋友,于是他的生
活发生了转变。
4. C 提示:根据下文“He is going to be killed.”可
知,“即将被杀”对威尔伯来说是个坏bad消息。
late意为“迟的”;early意为“早的”;good意为
“好的”。
5. A 提示:hope意为“希望”;time意为“时间”;use
意为“使用”;hurry意为“匆忙”。句意:在夏洛想
出一个聪明的计划帮助他之前,他似乎已经没有
希望了。
6. B 提示:此处指小镇上的人从未见过蜘蛛网上的
信息,表示“看”,用动词see。
7. D 提示:根据下文中“the famous web”可知,蛛网
上的信息使得小猪出了名,并且去参加了一场大
型比赛。old意为“老的;旧的”;clever意为“聪明
的”;tall意为“高的”;famous意为“出名的”。
8. B 提示:lose意为“输掉”;win意为“赢得”;enjoy
意为“喜爱”;change意为“改变”。“but”一词提示
前后语义发生转折,虽然威尔伯没有赢得win比
赛,但著名的蛛网确保他永远不会被屠杀。
9. C 提示:根据下一句“And after giving birth to her
babies, she dies.”可推知,因为她太累了tired,
生完宝宝就死了。happy意为“开心的”;strong意
为“强壮的”;tired意为“疲倦的”;excited意为“兴
奋的”。
10. D 提示:句意:当威尔伯认为他再也没有朋友时,
三只年幼的小蜘蛛来了,成了他最好的朋友。根据
语境和常识可知,此处指夏洛死后,她的孩子成为
了威尔伯的新朋友。夏洛是蜘蛛,故此处指三只年
幼的小蜘蛛。
