One day, the shepherd saw a wolf eyeing his sheep.It was some distance away. At first, the shepherd thought he was going to have awith the enemy.He kept a strict watch over its movement. But the wolf didWhen the shepherd walked back home with his sheep, the wolffollowed them at a distance.

有一天牧羊人發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只一直跟隨著他的狼,起初牧羊人對這只狼時刻保持警惕,后來由于這只狼一直沒有攻擊過羊群,因此牧羊人逐漸不再擔(dān)憂。一次牧羊人離開了羊群,這只狼殺死了大部分羊,最后牧羊人追悔莫及。這個故事提醒我們,當(dāng)事情進(jìn)行得太順利的時候,更要格外小心。
1.Awhile表示伴隨狀態(tài),牧羊人觀察羊群吃草時也會偶爾打個盹兒,同時根據(jù)第二段第四句“He kept a strict watch over its movement.”也可推測出此處正確答案應(yīng)為A項。
2.C通過前一句介紹羊群一直在吃草,可推測出此處表示等羊群吃飽后,牧羊人再帶領(lǐng)它們回家,所以C項為正確答案。
3.A根據(jù)下文“He kept a strict watch over its movement.”可推測,起初牧羊人想和這只狼打架?!癶ave a fight with...”(與……打架)是固定搭配。所以A項為正確答案。
4.D通過此處的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系連詞but可判斷出,盡管牧羊人一直在嚴(yán)密監(jiān)視狼的一舉一動,但是狼卻什么也沒做,因此D項為正確答案。
5.B通過之前對狼的描寫,可判斷出狼很安靜地跟在牧羊人和羊群后面,并保持著一段距離,因此B項為正確答案。
6.C根據(jù)第一段第一句“Early every morning…took his sheep out into the fields.”可知,狼應(yīng)該是每天早晨在fields附近等著他們,所以C項為正確答案。
7.D根據(jù)之前的描述,這只狼一直未采取任何行動抓羊,因此牧羊人對它的擔(dān)憂越來越少。“l(fā)ook after”意為“照顧”;“wait for”意為“等候”;“think of”意為“想起”;“worry about”意為“擔(dān)憂”,因此D項為正確答案。
8.B固定搭配“l(fā)ook upon...as”(看作……)。根據(jù)上文“Leaving the
sheep in front of the wolf, he left.”可知,牧羊人已經(jīng)開始把狼看作自己羊
群的保鏢了,因此他放心離開了,B項為正確答案。
9.C根據(jù)下一句“The dead sheep were everywhere.”可知狼把大部分的羊殺死了,因此C項為正確答案。
10.A通讀全文,結(jié)合下文“I put my trust in a wolf!”可知,牧羊人因為
信任狼而導(dǎo)致自己的羊被狼吃掉,因此牧羊人后悔地認(rèn)為這是自己
的錯,因此A項為正確答案。
【難句分析】
After the sheep were full, he would round them up and walk back home.
【譯文】等羊吃飽后,他將把它們集攏起來,走回家去。
【分析】after引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句;round up“趕攏(牲口);集攏(分散的人或物)”,賓語them是代詞,應(yīng)放在副詞up之前。
