Even when she did manage to _7_ a few drops in her beak they were lost long before they could _8_ her throat. Too polite to _9_， the stork went home hungrily while the _10_ fox drank all the soup. As the stork left she heard the fox laughing to himself at his own _11_.A few days later the stork invited the fox to have dinner with her _12_ and the fox had not eaten all day.“It is our custom to _13_ a dish, too，” said the stork. “I hope you will join me.”The stork brought her food. This time, however, it was _14_ in a tall, thin bottle with a narrow opening at the top.“Please _15_，” said the stork, putting her beak into the bottle.“Mmm. It is _16_，” said the stork.Of course the fox could not get his mouth into the bottle at all. All he could do was look _17_ at the delicious dish and lap the _18_ drops that spilled over the side.“I _19_ I cant complain，” he said to himself sadly as he made his way back to the woods. “After all, I taught her the _20_ myself.”1A. prevent B. regret C. mind D. avoid2A. chance B. suggestion C. practice D. belief3A. friendly B. lovely C. helpful D. cheerful4A. clean B. shallow C. broken D. ugly5A. back B. tip C. bottom D. half6A. although B. because C. if D. but7A. hold B. finish C. see D. feel8A. comfort B. clear C. reach D. attack9A. relax B. quarrel C. run D. complain10A. cruel B. nervous C. greedy D. stupid11A. strictness B. cleverness C. selfishness D. bitterness12A. in vain B. in return C. in time D. in order13A. make B. prepare C. share D. divide14A. served B. enjoyed C. taken D. hidden15A. begin B. listen C. watch D. move16A. big B. simple C. ready D. good17A. confidently B. aimlessly C. carefully D. hungrily18A. secret B. occasional C. full D. different19A. argue B. remember C. explain D. suppose20A. duty B. course C. choice D. trick答案与解析语篇解读狐狸与长嘴鹳相互请客吃饭的故事将“以其人之道还治其人之身”淋漓尽致地展现出来。1C狐狸邀请长嘴鹳吃饭，它希望长嘴鹳不要介意(mind)和它吃一样的食物。2C见下一题解析。3A由下文长嘴鹳邀请狐狸吃饭时所说的“It is our custom to”可以推断，此处practice(惯例；常规)符合语境。即：在森林里，我们习惯一起吃饭以示友好(friendly)。4B由下文长嘴鹳喝不上汤而狐狸可以用舌头舔着喝汤的事实可知，这个碗又宽又浅(shallow)。5B盛汤的碗又宽又浅，由此可以推断长嘴鹳只能把自己喙的尖端(tip)伸到碗里。6A“长嘴鹳尝试喝汤”与“不可能喝到”之间是让步关系，故although(尽管)符合语境。7A见下一题解析。8C长嘴鹳可以用长长的喙衔住(hold)几滴汤汁，但是汤汁还没有到达(reach)喉咙就又流掉了。9D长嘴鹳很有礼貌，没有抱怨(complain)。10C由本空后的“drank all the soup”可知，这里是说狐狸很贪婪(greedy)。11B狐狸戏弄了长嘴鹳，使得它没有吃上饭，因此长嘴鹳走后狐狸应该是为自己的聪明(cleverness)而暗自得意。12B上文说到狐狸请长嘴鹳吃饭，作为回报(in return)，长嘴鹳也请狐狸来吃饭。13C由上段的“the stork invited the fox to have dinner with her”可知，这里是说分享(share)食物。14A长嘴鹳将食物装在一个又长又细的瓶子里。serve意为“供(某人)饭菜；将(饭菜)摆上桌”，符合此处语境。15A由下文的“putting her beak into the bottle”可知，长嘴鹳请狐狸开始(begin)吃饭。16D长嘴鹳能够吃到食物，而狐狸吃不到食物。长嘴鹳称赞食物(good)来故意气狐狸。17D由上文的“the fox had not eaten all day”可以推断，狐狸此时饥肠辘辘地(hungrily)看着美食。18B狐狸吃不到瓶子里面的食物，只能舔舔偶尔(occasional)溅到瓶子外面的食物。19D狐狸意识到自己前面所做的事情是错误的，所以这里应该是说它认为(suppose)自己没有理由抱怨。20D长嘴鹳所用的伎俩(trick)正是狐狸之前用过的。.阅读理解(2014长春高二检测)Paddling (涉水；划水)out to catch the next wave at a competition in Christchurch, New Zealand, James Tuhikarama had a heart attack, which knocked him off his surfboard (冲浪板)He almost choked to death in the water, lost consciousness, and was soon floating facedown in the ocean.For a few moments, no one noticed as he drifted away from the main competition area.
