Once upon a time, a hippo(河马) lived in a river next to a big tree.
4
One day, a bird came and nested(筑巢) in the tree. The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy(羡慕) that he couldn't think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn't born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.
Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree, and start singing. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn't have wings, nor claws to climb with.
Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing to the ground. Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree, and began singing.
Unfortunately, hippos can't sing, either. All that came from his mouth were terrible noises, and when the other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.
He was so ashamed by this. He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He used all his strength to raise the tree back up again, and looked after it until it completely recovered(康复).
( )1.The hippo envied the bird because ________.
A.he could fly high
B.he could build a nest
C.he could sing well
D.he could live in the tree
( )2.After reading the story, we know ________.
A.the writer is telling us a true story
B.the story happened on an autumn day
C.the bird thought he was luckier than the hippo
D.the hippo tried to do something against his nature
( )3.The hippo in this story ________.
A.was happy all the time
B.did not respect his friends
C.liked to talk a lot but did nothing
D.corrected his mistake when he realized it
( )4.From the passage, we can infer(推断) that the hippo would ________ after such an experience.
A.be a good singer
B.be good at climbing trees
C.stop envying the bird
D.not make friends with other animals

Ⅳ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文。国王在河边建造了一座宫殿,大臣觉得宫殿旁边的一间小屋与宫殿极不协调,于是试图说服住在里面的老妇人把小屋卖给国王,但善良的国王却允许老妇人留下这个小屋。故事告诉我们, 这样的国王才是贤明而受人爱戴的。
1.C 句意:他的人民爱他,以他为骄傲。visit意为“参观”;leave意为“离开”;love意为“爱”;hate意为“讨厌”。由“He was famous for his kindness.”可知选C。
2.A 句意:在这个大臣带国王看宫殿之前,他决定看最后一眼。before意为“在……之前”;after意为“在……之后”;since意为“自从”;until意为“直到”。由两个分句的关系可知,“大臣看宫殿”发生在“带国王看宫殿” 之前。故选A。
3.B 4.D
5.A 句意:大臣走向房子,跟老太太说话。house意为“房子”;river意为“河流”;soldier意为“士兵”;palace意为“宫殿”。由后文“I want to buy your house”可知选A。
6.C
7.B 句意:但老太太拒绝把她的房子卖给国王。refuse to do sth.意为“拒绝做某事”,为固定用法。
8.B
9.D for a while是固定搭配,意为“一会儿”。
10.C 句意:让我们不要忘记,对我们来说似乎是丑陋的东西可能对别人来说是有价值的。popular意为“受欢迎的”;boring意为“令人厌烦的”;ugly意为“丑陋的”;beautiful意为“漂亮的”。由前文“It will only add to the beauty of the new palace.”可知选C。
Ⅴ.1.C 细节理解题。由第二段第二句“The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy…”可知,河马羡慕小鸟的歌声。故选C。
2.D 推理判断题。由文章的内容可知,河马做了违背自己天性的事情。故选D。
3.D 推理判断题。由文章的最后一段可知,河马认识到并及时改正了自己的错误。
