The cat lived in a large hole halfway up the tree and the owl lived in the branches.The cat feared none of its neighbours and moved about, afraid of nothing. The owl and the mongoose were afraid of the cat and kept a safe distance from it. The mouse was extremely afraid of all three neighbours.One day the cat was caught in a trap laid by a hunter. Its three neighbours watched with joy as it tried extremely hard to get out of the net in which it had been trapped. They knew it was a hopeless task. Soon the hunter would come and they would never see their enemy forever. The mouses joy, however, was shortlived because even as it watched the cat, it found that the mongoose was moving towards it. Looking up, it saw that the owl too was getting ready to move down. The mouse understood that it was in great danger and that the only one who could save it was its enemy, the cat.It jumped onto the net in which the cat was caught and began biting at it. Within a short time it had made a hole big enough for the cat to come out. Seeing the cat come out, the owl and the mongoose escaped.The mouse ran away too. It knew it could not expect any thanks from the cat, but in saving it, it had saved its own life.语篇解读：野猫吃猫头鹰和獴，三者都吃老鼠。野猫是猫头鹰和獴的敌人，反而成了老鼠的“朋友”，保全了老鼠的命。5The mouse lived in extreme fear every day because _.Ait lived at the foot of the treeBhunters set traps everywhereCall its three neighbours might eat it at any timeDits food might be taken away by its neighbours解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句、第四段中獴和猫头鹰对老鼠的虎视眈眈以及最后一段中老鼠将野猫放出来后自己也逃离了可知，这三个邻居都对老鼠有生命威胁，因此它每天都生活在极度恐慌之中。6Which of the four neighbours had the most power over the other three?AThe wildcat.BThe mouse.CThe mongoose.

This island has been home to many birds and seals. You may think this island is a paradise. In fact, the island is not famous for the seals or birds. However, the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.You may think that there is no way for a 15foot long, 3,000pound shark to hurl its body out of the water and catch a seal in midair. Actually, these sharks are called “Air Jaws”Over the years, the seals have gotten smarter. Now, they go out in groups of seven and eight to feed. They swim down on the sea floor, which gives them extra camouflage (掩饰). When they have to swim near the water surface, they swim in a zigzag (之字形的) pattern. But with all these tricks, they can still be outwitted (以智取胜) by the sharks. Usually, the sharks will take one seal away from its group and force it to swim on the surface, where it is easy to hunt. Sometimes, the seal is lucky and gets away, but most of them die in the process of trying to survive.Every year, tourists go to see these amazing animals leap out of the water, sometimes flinging (抛) their whole bodies into the air when they want to catch the seals. Some people even want to go into shark cages to see the action from below! This is the reason why this island attracts thousands of tourists around the world every year.语篇解读：本文是说明文。作者向我们介绍了位于南非的Seal Island。在这个岛周边的水域大白鲨常常跳出水面猎食海豹，这一景象吸引了许多游客前去观看。9What probably makes Seal Island famous?AThe large number of seals in the water.BThe way the great white sharks hunt.CThe beautiful scenery of the island.DThe special position of the island.解析：选B细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“However, the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.”可知，大白鲨跳出水面捕食海豹是Seal Island出名的主要原因。10Why do the seals swim in a zigzag pattern?ATo save energy.
