这是一篇幽默诙谐的小故事。小老鼠Zigfried住在一座空荡荡的农舍,没吃没喝。圣诞节快到了,这座房子搬来了新主人,Zigfried过上了富足的生活。可惜好景不长,圣诞节这家的孩子就会有一只猫陪伴他们了。那么,Zigfried这个圣诞节会过得怎么样呢?

小题1:解析:选C。从语境的叙述看,这只小老鼠在窗户上哈气,然后把窗户擦亮,它满怀希望地想,或许今天会有人来。这里用hopefully指它的一种心情。其中关键词maybe(或许,有可能)说明对奇迹是否在今天出现不能十分肯定,只是“有希望”。B项excitedly(激动地,兴奋地)在这里描述小老鼠的心情是不合适的。

小题2:解析:选D。下文说“这座农舍需要有一家人住下”,由此可知这里表示这座农舍空荡荡的,没有人住,因此选D项。

小题3:解析:选C。下文说它意识到自己从昨天起就没有吃东西了,根据常识可知,饿的时候是“肚子”叫,而不是“嘴巴”“鼻子”或者“喉咙”,因此选C项。

小题4:解析:选A。下文第三段第38空所在句说它把口袋装满了小麦,这是很重要的提示,因此选A,它从自己的窝里拿起一个袋子就跑到隔壁的农民迈克家去了。

小题5:解析:选B。从语境的连贯性判断选B,用until表示“直到”:迈克家一直是这只小老鼠的天堂,直到迈克娶了妻子,而他的妻子带来了一只猫。猫是老鼠的天敌,猫来了对老鼠来说并不是一件好事,也就是说老鼠的好日子到头了。

小题6:解析:选C。leap“跳跃”;sniff“闻,嗅”;tremble“颤抖,发抖”;withdraw“撤退”。老鼠害怕猫是常识。句意:一想到他家的那只猫,Zigfried就(害怕得)浑身发抖。

小题7:解析:选D。这里用steal(into)描述小老鼠小心翼翼的神态和动作:它一边谨慎地向四周看,一边蹑手蹑脚地溜进存放谷物的房间。其中cautiously(小心翼翼地)是解题的关键点。

小题8:解析:选B。前面提到,因为害怕那只猫,它很小心,因此在往袋子里装粮食的时候“很紧张”。nervous形象地描述了老鼠当时害怕的心理。

小题9:解析:选C。就在老鼠转身准备离开的时候,它感觉到耳旁有呼出的热气。这里用feel表示“感觉”到外来的呼吸。

小题10:解析:选D。老鼠知道形势不妙,猫来了,就在它旁边,面对危机,老鼠的心怦怦乱跳,因此选D。one’s heart beat wildly“心怦怦乱跳”。

小题11:解析:选A。老鼠赶紧逃窜,幸运地躲过了那只猫的抓捕。其中,luckily是解题的提示。

小题12:解析:选C。上文提到,这座农舍很长时间空荡荡的,没有人居住,既然是要搬来人家,那么应该选C表示“新来的”,而不是“密切的”“快乐的”“年轻的”。

小题13:解析:选A。文章提到圣诞节,那么应该是celebrate“庆祝”,因此选A项。语境表示奶奶要来跟它一起庆祝这个圣诞节。

小题14:解析:选D。这里用介词up描述动作由远及近的方向,come up the road沿着这条路驶来。句意:不久,一辆汽车沿着通向这座房子的路驶来,载着黄油三明治、奶酪和巧克力。

小题15:解析:选A。这座农舍因为有人的搬入,有了人气,开始充满活力,因此选A,表示“有生气,有活力”。其他各项不符合语境。

小题16:解析:选B。句中的them指前面提到的days,有人搬进来了,接下来的几天里,房子里面又开始活跃起来了,Zigfried尽情享受着每时每刻。用enjoy表示“喜欢,享受”。

小题17:解析:选A。从下文“What?A cat?”可知,孩子们是讨论圣诞节用猫做礼物的信息,老鼠的好日子到头了,故用转折副词however,表示“可是,然而”。

小题18:解析:选D。这家原先没人居住,老鼠总是挨饿,而现在,它在自家门口喝着热巧克力,当然是觉得很满足了。a satisfied smile“满足的笑容”,因此选D。

小题19:解析:选B。这里用discussion指这些孩子七嘴八舌地在讨论他们圣诞节会得到什么礼物。其他各项不符合语境。

小题20:解析:选B。听说这家的孩子圣诞节就会有只猫了,老鼠Zigfried脸上原本满意的笑容一下子僵住了,这里用smile与第48空的smile呼应。
