【分析】
这是改编自经典寓言“狐假虎威”的完形填空题,解题时可结合故事背景和上下文语境逐一分析:
1. 第1空:根据后文“because he has nothing to eat”,没吃东西的状态对应“饥饿”,由此锁定表示饥饿的词汇。
2. 第2空:下文明确提到“says to the fox”,说明老虎抓住的是狐狸,直接对应选项。
3. 第3空:老虎张开嘴,嘴里的器官是牙齿,且“long sharp”(又长又锋利)用来形容牙齿符合逻辑。
4. 第4空:文章开头点明时间是“One morning”,且后文狐狸也提到“breakfast”,所以此处应选早餐相关词汇。
5. 第5空:狐狸被老虎抓住,正常反应是害怕,据此选择表害怕的形容词。
6. 第6空:老虎先提出问题,狐狸的行为是回答问题,因此选表示“回答”的动词。
7. 第7空:狐狸要让老虎看到其他动物害怕自己,“展示”这个动作符合语境需求。
8. 第8空:狐狸走在前面,老虎跟在后面,“走”这个动作能体现两者的位置关系。
9. 第9空:动物看到老虎会吓得跑开,“run away”是固定搭配,符合情境。
10. 第10空:老虎听信狐狸的话后,会觉得自己不是最强大的,所以快速离开,选表示“快速地”副词。
