答案与解析

语篇解读一只贪婪的鹤因为想吃掉池塘里的鱼和蟹，就想办法把它们从池塘里骗出来，最后当蟹意识到自己被骗时，与鹤展开了殊死搏斗。

1．D由下文多处出现的fishes可知，这里指池塘里有很多鱼(fishes)。

2．D由下文的I am now prepared to die可知，这里是说鹤看起来好像放弃了(given up)吃鱼的想法。

3．C由下文的“渔夫将打捞池塘里所有的鱼”及“鹤将没有吃的”可知，鹤此时应该是比较伤心的(sad)。

4．B池塘里没有鱼，鹤就没有食物赖以生存(live on)。

5．C没有吃的，鹤将死于饥饿(hunger)。

6．A鱼听说渔夫将打捞它们，自然是处于悲痛(sorrow)之中。

7．A鹤靠吃鱼生存，鱼没了，鹤将难以生存。因此渔夫是鱼和鹤的共同(common)敌人。

8．B由下段的we can't save ourselves可以得到提示。

9．B鱼向鹤请教，所以鹤告诉它们只有一个方法(way)可以自救。

10．A自救的方法就是趁还来得及，到另一个池塘里去。before it is too late“趁还来得及”。

11．D由下文的Since we can't save ourselves ...可知，鱼在相互讨论(discussed)。

12．D由They agreed可知，鱼决定与鹤合作(cooperate)。

13．A鱼没有办法在地面上走，要想到另外一个池塘，必须依靠鹤的运输(transport)。

14．B由He returned for more可知，这是只贪婪的(greedy)鹤。

15．A鹤返回来打算欺骗更多的鱼，所以就故意报告说(reporting)运出去的鱼现在很安全。

16．B由下文蟹也要去另一个池塘可推测，池塘里没有鱼了。故gone(离去的)符合语境。

17．C蟹也要去另一个池塘是因为它希望(wish)能和鱼在一起。

18．C上文说到，鹤把所有的鱼都吃掉了，由此可知这里是说剩下的骨头(bones)。

19．D由全文的内容可知，鱼和蟹都受到了攻击(attacked)。

20．D由下文蟹和鹤展开殊死搏斗可推测，蟹认为即使没有活命的希望(hope)，也要战死，而不能屈服。
