五、完形填空。
One afternoon, a lion slept in the deepest part of the shade. After a time, a little mouse went past. She was in such a hurry that she didn't notice the sleeping lion. The little mouse woke up the lion. The lion caught the little mouse 1 his huge paw. “A thousand pardons,” begged the mouse. “It was an accident. Besides, I have small children to 2 for.”
“That’s none of my business,” said the lion. “Give me a better 3, or I will eat you.”
“Well,” answered the little mouse, “if you spare me, I may be able to return the favour. I promise to help you in any way I can.” “Ha! Ha!” laughed the lion. “I doubt you shall ever be able to help such a(n) 4 one as myself. But you have amused me so I will let you go. Now run away quickly and leave me in 5 to finish my nap.”
Some days later, the lion was tripped by a rope that had been hidden in the grass. It was a trap(陷阱)! Then a large rope net fell from a nearby tree. It 6 the lion from head to toe. The lion was so angry that he roared(吼叫). 7, the mouse that he set free passed by! She was quite afraid, 8 she walked up to the lion.
“Be still!” she shouted in her loudest voice. “All that roaring will bring the hunters down on us!”
“Do you think it’s 9?” asked the lion. “I will never be free again.” He threw back his head and roared again.
“If you stop roaring,” said the mouse, “I can help you get out of here right away.”
To the lion’s 10, the mouse was already hard at work. Soon she had bitten through several ropes. The lion pulled free of the net. He looked thankfully at the little mouse. “Thank you,” said the lion gently. “You have proven to me that those who are small and weak may prove to be strong in friendship and kindness.”

解析：
【分析】
这是一篇经典寓言主题的完形填空题，解题思路如下：第一步先通读全文，梳理清楚故事完整脉络：小老鼠不小心吵醒狮子，求饶后狮子出于戏谑放了它，后续狮子落入猎人陷阱，小老鼠兑现承诺救了狮子，印证弱小者也能给强者提供帮助的道理。第二步逐个分析空格：先结合前后文的语境逻辑，再辨析四个选项的词义，同时调用平时积累的固定短语搭配，逐一匹配最贴合故事逻辑的选项，排除语义不通、搭配错误的干扰项，最终得出全部正确答案。
【解析】
1. 句意：狮子用他巨大的爪子抓住了小老鼠。with在这里表示“用（具体的身体部位/工具）”，by多表示抽象方式，through表示“穿过/凭借抽象途径”，on表示“在……之上”，只有with符合语境，选B。
2. 此处是老鼠求饶的表述：我还有年幼的孩子要照顾。固定搭配care for意为“照顾、照料”，think for意为“为……思考”，look for意为“寻找”，ask for意为“索要”，只有care for符合语义，选C。
3. 狮子说：给我一个更好的理由，不然我就吃掉你。reason意为“理由”，result意为“结果”，advice和suggestion都意为“建议”，狮子要的是老鼠不被吃掉的合理解释，只有reason符合语境，选A。
4. 狮子大笑：我才不信你能帮到像我这么强大的角色。powerful意为“强大的”，kind意为“善良的”，weak意为“虚弱的”，active意为“活跃的”，狮子作为百兽之王自认十分强大，powerful贴合设定，选D。
5. 狮子说：赶紧跑开，让我安安宁宁睡完午觉。固定搭配in peace意为“安宁地、平静地”，in doubt意为“怀疑”，in turn意为“轮流”，in sight意为“看得见”，只有in peace符合狮子要继续睡觉的语境，选B。
6. 附近树上掉下来的大绳网从头到脚盖住了狮子。cover意为“覆盖、罩住”，move意为“移动”，drop意为“掉落”，fall意为“落下”，此处描述网把狮子完全罩住的状态，cover符合语义，选C。
7. 狮子被困住的时候，之前被他放走的老鼠刚好路过，这是非常幸运的情况。luckily意为“幸运地”，sadly意为“悲伤地”，generally意为“大体上”，actually意为“实际上”，只有luckily符合此处的情节逻辑，选A。
8. 空前表述“她非常害怕”，空后表述“她走向了狮子”，前后是明显的转折关系，but可以表转折，because表原因，so表结果，though表让步，选C。
9. 狮子咆哮着反问：你觉得你说的这些有意义吗？我永远都逃不掉了。meaningful意为“有意义的”，cheerful意为“欢快的”，wonderful意为“极好的”，beautiful意为“美丽的”，只有meaningful贴合狮子不相信老鼠能救自己的情绪，选B。
10. 固定搭配to one's surprise意为“令某人惊讶的是”，原本狮子完全不相信小老鼠能帮到自己，看到老鼠已经开始啃咬绳子十分意外，joy意为“喜悦”，fun意为“乐趣”，interest意为“兴趣”，只有surprise符合搭配和语境，选D。
