C
I am a horse, the main character in the novel.
A horse fair was an interesting place. Many people went there to sell horses. You could see many kinds of young and strong horses. There were also poor and thin horses and they were worn out because of hard work.
One day, the seller took me there. He wanted to sell me at a high price. I didn't know if I would be lucky enough to meet a master who would treat me well.
Then a man with a gentle voice came to us. He wanted to buy me at a low price, but the seller refused.
Shortly after, a tall man with a very loud voice came. He walked around me and I was afraid he would buy me. Luckily, he walked away.
After a few minutes, the man with a gentle voice came back. I was very happy to see him again.
"I'll give twenty-four pounds. Can you sell the horse to me?" he said.
"OK! Take it," said the seller. "He's a quality one and if you want him for work, he's a good choice."
Half an hour later, we left for the new home, along country roads, until we came to the city. My new home was in a narrow street. On one side of the street, there were some small, old houses. On the other, there were some stables (马厩).
We stopped in front of a house. My new master whistled (吹口哨). The door opened. A young woman, a little girl and a boy, came out. They all looked at me.
"Is he gentle, Father?" the girl asked.
"Yes, Dolly, as gentle as a cat. You can touch him."
She touched my shoulder, whispering sweetly, "Welcome, my new friend."
The gentle touch and soft voice comforted me so much! They led me into a comfortable, clean stable, with plenty of food. After a meal, I lay down, thinking "I'm going to be very happy here."

解析：
7. 题干要求解释下划线短语“worn out”的含义，可回到原文查看“There were also poor and thin horses and they were worn out because of hard work.”可知瘦弱的马是因为辛苦工作变得“疲惫不堪”。
7. 选项A“Tired”与疲惫不堪含义一致，B、C、D含义分别为惊讶、放松和感兴趣，均与语境不符，故选项A正确。
8. 题目询问最后买马人花了多少钱买这匹马，根据买马人和卖马人的对话“I'll give twenty-four pounds. Can you sell the horse to me?”和“OK! Take it”可知，买马人最终花了24英镑买下了这匹马。
9. 题目要求根据文章进行推理，选项A含义为新主人很粗鲁，与文中新主人声音温柔、对马很好不符；选项B含义为这匹马喜欢他的新家，与文中“They led me into a comfortable, clean stable, with plenty of food. After a meal, I lay down, thinking 'I'm going to be very happy here.'”一致；选项C含义为卖家会买一匹新马，文中并未提及；选项D含义为女孩怕马，与文中女孩抚摸马并欢迎它不符，故选项B正确。
10. 题目询问文章接下来会讲什么故事，可回到原文，根据文章最后一段“After a meal, I lay down, thinking 'I'm going to be very happy here.'”可知接下来可能会讲述马在新家的幸福生活，选项D含义与原文一致，选项ABC并非文章暗示接下来会讲的故事。

### 文章翻译
我是一匹马，是小说中的主角。
马市是个有趣的地方。很多人去那里卖马。你能看到很多种类的年轻健壮的马。也有瘦弱的马，它们因为繁重的劳作而疲惫不堪。
有一天，卖马的人把我带到了那里。他想把我高价卖掉。我不知道自己是否足够幸运能遇到一个会善待我的主人。
然后，一个声音温和的男人向我们走来。他想低价买下我，但卖马的人拒绝了。
不久之后，一个声音很大的高个子男人来了。他在我周围走来走去，我很害怕他会买下我。幸运的是，他走开了。
几分钟后，那个声音温和的男人回来了。再次见到他我很高兴。
“我出二十四英镑。你能把这匹马卖给我吗？”他说。
“好！把它带走吧，”卖马的人说，“它是一匹优质的马，如果你想用它干活，它是个不错的选择。”
半小时后，我们前往新家，沿着乡间小路走，直到我们来到了城市。我的新家在一条狭窄的街道上。街道的一边有一些又小又旧的房子。另一边有一些马厩。
我们在一所房子前停了下来。我的新主人吹了声口哨。门开了。一个年轻的女人、一个小女孩和一个男孩走了出来。他们都看着我。
“它温顺吗，爸爸？”女孩问道。
“是的，多莉，它像猫一样温顺。你可以摸摸它。”
她摸了摸我的肩膀，温柔地轻声说：“欢迎你，我的新朋友。”
那温柔的抚摸和柔和的声音让我感到非常安慰！他们把我领进一个舒适、干净的马厩，里面有很多食物。吃完一顿饭后，我躺下来，心想：“我在这里会很幸福的。”
