賣貓不賣碗的英語閱讀理解
親愛的李，
正如我曾告訴你，我將會出門直到周三上午。非常感謝你替我照顧我的「孩子」。它們就像真正的小孩，有時它們可以很惹人厭煩，但得知它們能得到好心人的照顧，我可以更放心去享受假期了。請記住，里賈納（是拉丁文「皇後」的意思，確實她也是）正在出牙。如果你不看緊她，她會什麼都咬，包括她的妹妹，我指的是貓。房子里到處都是可咬的玩具，每當她開始咬不該咬的東西時，隨便拿一隻來轉移她的視線便可。她通常都會平靜下來，咬玩具也可咬上整個小時。然後你會看到她四處逛，嘴裡咬著玩具的殘體嗚咽，她變得非常不耐煩，因為她想要把東西埋掉。她會設法在沙發與靠墊之間上挖一個洞。發現不成功，她會繼續四處逛，不滿，直至你把她的問題解決。我通常向她展示我的洗衣籃，搬幾件衣服，讓她可以把玩具埋在衣服底下。我聽起來像位家長，不是嗎？請你明白，實際上，我的兒子已長大了。
里賈納的食物的狗糧，存放在雜物間，那裡儲存了其它寵物的食品。每天早晚，各給她一碗。別給得太多，即使她搖尾乞憐，無論如何求。比格犬（獵犬）的暴食早已臭名遠播，根據她的飼養員說，別讓她破壞少女的身裁。她可以雷克斯（意思即「國王的」）共享食水，但必須要每天更換。每天她都需要出去好幾次，尤其是晚上最後的那一次，和晨早的第一次。每次可讓她逗留十分鍾左右，她要方便方便。在下午她還需要散步，之後讓她在院子里歡蹦亂跳一陣子，這很重要。她最喜歡的游戲是拾東西，但一定要能讓她把球放下，她會跟你扯也不給你，就叫她：「坐下！」然後，當她坐下來就對她說：「放下！」請記住要稱贊她：「好姑娘」，然後把球扔給她。我希望你能像我一樣地喜歡這些。
現在，其它兩只，雷克斯和爪子......（信繼續）

原文如下：
Dear Lee,
As I told you, I』ll be gone until Wednesday morning. Thank you so much for taking on my 「children」 while I』m away. Like real children, they can be kind of irritating sometimes, but I』m going to enjoy myself so much more knowing they』re getting some kind human attention. Remember that Regina (the 「queen」 in Latin, and she acts like one) is teething. If you don』t watch her, she』ll chew anything, including her sister, the cat. There are plenty of chew toys around the house. Whenever she starts gnawing on anything illegal, just divert her with one of those. She generally settles right down to a good hour-long chew. Then you』ll see her wandering around whimpering with the remains of the toy in her mouth. She gets really frustrated because what she wants is to bury the thing. She』ll try to dig a hole between the cushions of the couch. Finding that unsatisfactory, she』ll wander some more, discontent, until you solve her problem for her. I usually show her the laundry basket, moving a few clothes so she can bury her toy beneath them. I do sound like a parent, don』t I? You have to understand, my own son is practically grown up.
Regina』s food is the Puppy Chow in the utility room, where the other pet food is stored. Give her a bowl once in the morning and once in the evening. No more than that, no matter how much she begs. Beagles are notorious overeaters, according to her breeder, and I don』t want her to lose her girlish figure. She can share Rex (the King』s) water, but be sure it』s changed daily. She needs to go out several times a day, especially last thing at night and first thing in the morning. Let her stay out for about ten minutes each time, so she can do all her business. She also needs a walk in the afternoon, after which it』s important to romp with her for awhile in the yard. The game she loves most is fetch, but be sure to make her drop the ball. She』d rather play tug of war with it. Tell her, 「Sit!」 Then, when she does, say, 「Drop it!」 Be sure to tell her 「good girl,」 and then throw the ball for her. I hope you』ll enjoy these sessions as much as I do.
Now, for the other two, Rex and Paws… (letter continues)

1.英語短篇小故事帶翻譯簡單
A wolf was almost dead with hunger. A house-dog saw him, and asked, "Friend, your irregular life will soon ruin you.
"Why don't you work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly?"
"I would have no objection," said the wolf, "if I could only get a place." "I will help you," said the dog. "Come with me to my master, and you shall share my work."
So the wolf and the dog went to the town together.On the way the wolf saw that there was no hair around the dog's neck.He felt quite surprised, and asked him why it was like that?
"Oh, it is nothing," said the dog. "Every night my master puts a collar around my neck and chains me up. You will soon get used to it."
"Is that the only reason?" said the wolf. "Then good-bye to you, my friend. I would rather be free."
翻譯：
一隻狼快要餓死了，一隻狗看見後問他：「你現在的無規律的生活一定會毀掉你，為什麼不像我一樣穩定地幹活並有規律地獲得食物呢?」
狼說：「如果我有個地方住，我沒有意見。」狗回答說：「跟塵余我到主人那裡去，我們一棗兄世起工作。」於是狼和狗一起回到了村子。
在路上，狼注意到狗的脖子上有一圈沒有毛，他很奇怪地問為什麼會那樣。
「噢，沒有什麼，」狗說，「我的主人每天晚上都用一條鐵鏈子拴住我，你很快就會習慣的。」「就是因為這個原因嗎?」狼說道，「那麼，再見了，我的朋友，我寧願選擇自由。」
寓意: 自由比安樂更重要。

When a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down beside him. This soon wakened the lion. He was very angry, and caught the mouse in his paws.
"Forgive me, please." cried the little mouse. "I may be able to help you someday." The lion was tickled at these words.
He thought, "How could this little mouse help me?" However he lifted up his paws and let him go.
A few days later, the lion was caught in a trap.
The hunters wanted to take him alive to the king, so they tied him to a tree, and went away to look for a wagon.
Just then the little mouse passed by, and saw the sad lion.
He went up to him, and soon gnawed away the ropes. "Was I not right?" asked the little mouse.
獅子與報恩的老鼠
獅子睡著了，有隻老鼠在他的周圍爬上爬下，很快吵醒了獅子，獅子很生氣，一把抓住了老鼠。
「饒了我吧，」老鼠請求說，「也許有一天我能幫上你的忙呢。」獅子覺得很好笑，他想：「這只小老鼠怎麼能幫上我的忙？」但他還是抬起爪子放他走了。
不久，獅子被陷阱困住了。獵人們想將活獅子獻給國王，就把他捆在一棵大樹上，然後去找馬車。
這時，老鼠路過這里，看到了絕望中的獅子。他走過去，很快啃斷了繩索，說：「我雖小，可是我也能幫上你的忙。」
寓意: 有些朋友也許平時看似微不足道，但卻有可能在我們身處困境的時候提供巨大的幫助。

一位老婦有隻貓，這只貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因為它年紀太大了。一天，老貓發現一隻老鼠，它跳過去抓這只老鼠，然而，它咬不住這只老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因為老貓咬不了它。
於是，老婦很生氣，因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓，貓說：「不要打你的老僕人，我已經為你服務了很多年，而且還願意為你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的不要這么無情，要記住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。」

A wild ass1 saw a pack-ass jogging along under a heavy load, and taunted2 him with the condition of slavery in which he lived, in these words: "What a vile3 lot is yours compared with mine! I am free as the air, and never do a stoke of work; and, as for fodder4, I have only to go to the hills and there I find far more than enough for my needs. But you! You depend on your master for food, and he makes you carry heavy loads every day and beats you unmercifully." At that moment a lion appeared on the scene, and made no attempt to molest5 the pack-ass owing to the presence of the driver, but he fell upon the wild ass, who had no one to protect him, and without more ado made a meal of him.
It is no use being your own master unless you can stand up for yourself.
一頭野驢看到一頭家驢背負這沉重的貨物一路小跑，便譏諷他過著奴隸般的生活：「和我相比，你過得多麼卑微呀!我自由自在地享受著大自然，從不下苦力，說道食物，我只需要跑到山上去，就能發現大量吃的東西。再看看你!只能依靠主人施捨吃點，他不僅每天都讓你馱重物，還無情地鞭打你。」這時，一隻獅子出現在他們的視野中，由於驢夫的出現，獅子沒有騷擾家驢，直接撲向了沒有保護者的野驢，立即吃掉了野驢。
除非能照顧好自己，否則做自己的主人一點用也沒有。
5.英語短篇小故事帶翻譯簡單
A singing-bird was confined1 in a cage which hung outside a window, and had a way of singing at night when all other birds were asleep. One night a bat came and clung2 to the bars of the cage, and asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night. "I have a very good reason for doing so," said the bird: "it was once when I was singing in the daytime that a fowler was attracted by my voice, and set his nets for me and caught me. Since then I have never sung except by night." But the bat replied, "It is no use your doing that now when you are a prisoner. If only you had done so before you were caught, you might still have been free."
Precautions3 are useless after the event.
一隻畫眉鳥被囚禁在窗外掛著的一個籠子里，當其他鳥兒都酣睡時，她卻在夜裡唱歌。有一個夜晚，蝙蝠飛過來，抓住鳥籠的.柵欄，問她為什麼白天默默無聲，卻在夜裡放聲歌唱。小鳥回答說：「我這樣做是有道理的，曾經有一次，當我在白天唱歌時，一個捕鳥人被我的歌聲吸引，就用鳥籠子捉住了我。從此我只在夜裡歌唱。」可是，蝙蝠卻說：「你現在這樣做根本沒用了，因為你已經成為階下囚。若是在被捉住之前這樣做就好了，那樣或許你依然是自由之身!」
待事情發生之後再預防，為時已晚。

Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words： 「My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.」

然後他解開那捆柴，一根根地放在他們手裡，如此一來，他們便毫不費力地折斷了。於是他就告訴他們說：「孩子們!如果你們大家團結一致，互相幫助，你們就像這捆柴一樣，不能被你們的敵人折斷;但如果你們自行分 裂，你們就將和這些散柴一般，不堪一折了。」

A self-important lion in the jungle tried to make his mastery clear to all.
He was so confident that he paid no attention to the smaller animals and went right up to a bear. He asked the bear, "Who is the king of the jungle?" The bear replied, "Of course you are."
Then the lion asked a tiger the same question. The tiger replied with some reluctance1, "Of course you are." And then he went to ask an elephant. But the elephant would not allow the lion to do so. He suddenly took hold of the lion with his long nose and bounced2 the lion against a tree, leaving him bleeding3 and badly shaken up.
When the lion finally got up, he blamed the elephant and said: "Even if you couldn't answer my question, it's not necessary for you to act so rough4."
熱帶叢林里的一個妄自菲薄的獅子試圖使所有的動物都明白它的統治地位。
它非常自信，對較小的動物不屑一顧，而是直接去問一隻黑熊：「誰是叢林里的大王呀?」 黑熊回答說：「當然是你呀。」
於是它又去問一個老虎同樣的問題。老虎有點勉強地回答說：「當然是你呀!」然後他又去問一頭大象。可是大象不買它的賬，突然用它的長鼻子把獅子抓起來向一棵樹扔過去，讓它鮮血淋漓和渾身發抖。
獅子終於爬起來時，它責怪大象說：「即使你回答不了我的問題，也用不著這么粗魯嘛。」

The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the living, on the graves of the dead! All white save the river, that marked its course by a winding black line across the landscape; and the leafless trees, that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and intricacies of their branches. What silence, too, came with the snow, and what seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and musical. No more tramping hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming of the sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.
初雪降臨，多麼美啊！它整日整夜那麼靜靜地飄著，落在山嶺上，落在草地上，落在世人的屋頂上，落在逝者的墳墓上。在一片白茫茫之中，只有河流在美麗的畫面上劃出一道彎彎曲曲的黑線；還有那葉兒落凈的樹木，映襯著鉛灰色的天空，更顯得枝丫交錯，姿態萬千。初雪飄落時，是何等的寧謐，何等的幽靜！一切聲響都趨沉寂，一切噪音都化作柔和的音樂。再也聽不見馬蹄得得，再也聽不見車輪轔轔！唯有雪橇的鈴鐺，奏出和諧的樂聲，那明快歡樂的節拍猶如孩子們心房的搏動。

Once upon a time, the animals living on the ground and those flying in the sky fought against each other. However, a bat could not take part on either side because he was timid and had no courage.
When the beasts seemed like winning, the bat went to them and said, "I would like to fight with you." They believed him.
Yet, the bat began to worry, as the birds started to move ahead. So, the bat went to them and begged, "I am on your side because I am winged, too."
They pleasantly accepted the bat. "Sure. Since you have wings, you are on our side." The fight between the birds and the beasts continued and the bat went back and forth to the winning side.
Then one day, peace was made in the woods. The birds and the beasts learned that the bat went hither and thither between them. All the animals determined to expel him. Turned away from both sides, the bat started to live in a dark cave.

第二卷
第一節短文改錯
Dear Diana,
Thank you for the lovely day we have with you. It was so kind tor you to let us bring Anne's
friend. Gina. Unfortunate, the only problem was the journey home. There had been a terrible
accident on the highway and, for a result, there was a long line of traffic for at least six mile. In
the end, we drove to a service station and waited there unless the road was clear. In the car park
Gina nearly got knocked over as a car drove out far too quickly from behind a lorry. They
finally dropped Gina off at her parents' and made our own way to home.
1．第1句have→had【解析】由後面的was可知，這兒應該用過去時態。
2. 第2句 for→of【解析】It』s kind of you為固定用法。
3. 第3句 Unfortunate→Unfortunately【解析】這兒用副詞作狀語。
4. 第4句 for→as【解析】as a result固定搭配。
5. 第4句 mile→miles【解析】mile是可數名詞，並且前面是six.
6. 第5句 unless→until【解析】這兒後面一句是一個時間狀語從句，意思是我們一直等到路通了。
7. 第6句 here→there【解析】敘述的是別的地方發生的事，所以用there.
8. 第6句 car前加a【解析】car不是特指，並且是可數名詞，所以前面要加a.
9. 第7句 they→we【解析】敘述的是我們做的事，所以用we.
10. 第7句去掉to【解析】make one』s way home中home為副詞，所以前面不用介詞to。

3、在答卷過程中還要注意卷面的整潔和書寫的美觀。
Dear Editor,
As a student reader, I am writing to talk about the English textbooks published by your house. These books have many advantages. One of them is that we can find a variety of topics, such as science, culture and history. These topics, 1 think, arc very popular with us students. What's more, along with the texts there are many beautiful and colorful pictures, which can help us understand English better. Even the students who used to dislike English have turned out to be interested in the subject. However, some of the texts have too many new words and expressions which are hard for us. Therefore, I'd like to suggest changing them into easier ones.
Best regards,
Li Hua
