【导语】本文是一则寓言故事，讲述了蚂蚁辛勤工作为冬天做准备，而蚱蜢懒惰玩乐，最终在冬天挨饿并向蚂蚁求助。蚱蜢从中吸取教训，从此学会规划生活、为未来储备。
【详解】1．句意：其他昆虫在玩耍，并嘲笑他如此认真。
根据后文蚱蜢对蚂蚁的疑问和劝说享受阳光，可知其他昆虫不理解蚂蚁的行为，甚至嘲笑他，应用laughed at“嘲笑”。waited for“等待”、gave up“放弃”、communicated with“与……交流”均不符合语境。
2．句意：冬天还远着呢。
由前文“prepare for the cold winter”及后文“come and enjoy the sunshine”可知，蚱蜢认为冬天还很遥远，应用Winter“冬天”。Spring“春天”、Summer“夏天”、Autumn“秋天”均与故事中的时间逻辑不符。
3．句意：我需要为未来做好准备。
蚂蚁工作是为了应对未来的冬天，应用future“未来”。present“现在”、work“工作”、season“季节”均不准确。
4．句意：他感到又冷又饿。
冬天找不到食物，蚱蜢的感受应为饥饿，应用hungry“饥饿的”。sleepy“困倦的”、busy“忙碌的”、blind“失明的”均不符合。
5．句意：蚂蚁慷慨地分享了他的食物。
蚂蚁拿出食物帮助蚱蜢，应用shared“分享”。sold“卖”、imagined“想象”、cooked“烹饪”均不合理。
6．句意：我夏天努力劳动，这样冬天就能生活得好。
蚂蚁储备食物是为了在冬天过得好，应用well“好地”。long“长久地”、silently“沉默地”、alone“独自”均不准确。
7．句意：他明白了懒惰会导致麻烦，但无论出现什么挑战，努力工作能让人安全。
蚱蜢之前不工作只玩乐，说明他懒惰，应用laziness“懒惰”。carelessness“粗心”、pride“骄傲”、anger“愤怒”均不符合故事主旨。
8．句意：他明白了懒惰会导致麻烦，但无论出现什么挑战，努力工作能让人安全。
努力工作储备食物能让人在困难时期有保障，应用safe“安全的”。worried“担心的”、free“自由的”、healthy“健康的”均不如safe贴切。
9．句意：他明智地规划自己的生活，为未来储备，而不是浪费时间。
蚱蜢吸取教训后开始明智地规划，应用wisely“明智地”。cheerfully“高兴地”、easily“容易地”、bravely“勇敢地”均不准确。
10．句意：他最终意识到好习惯能对生活产生巨大影响。
make a big difference为固定短语，意为“产生巨大影响”，应用difference。plan“计划”、change“改变”、decision“决定”中，difference最恰当。
11．C 12．D 13．B 14．A 15．B 16．B 17．D 18．A 19．B 20．D
【导语】本文讲述了Jack在周四晚上早睡后做了一个奇妙的梦。梦中一只兔子带他去冒险，他们看到了弹吉他的狮子、在天空中跳舞的月亮。最后妈妈叫醒了他，他意识到这是一场梦，并迫不及待想和朋友分享这个有趣又刺激的经历。
【详解】11．句意：然后他看到了一只可爱的兔子。
根据后文“because he doesn’t have a pet rabbit at home”以及兔子对他说话的情节可知，他看到的是一只rabbit“兔子”。girl“女孩”、boy“男孩”、lion“狮子”均与后文提到的宠物兔不符。
12．句意：Jack不知道它来自哪里，因为他家里没有养宠物兔。
根据语境，Jack对突然出现的兔子感到疑惑，想知道它的来源地，where“哪里”符合语境。how“如何”、when“何时”、why“为什么”均不能准确表达询问来源地的含义。
13．句意：“你会说话吗？”Jack惊讶地问。
前文兔子说“Come on...Don’t you want to go for an adventure ”，这是语言交流，所以Jack惊讶于兔子会talk“说话”。jump“跳”、dance“跳舞”、listen“听”均不符合兔子开口说话这一令人惊讶的事实。
14．句意：“跟着我。”兔子说。
后文提到“Then the rabbit goes out of Jack’s room. Jack goes with it”，说明兔子让Jack跟随它，Follow“跟随”符合语境。Teach“教”、Stop“停止”、Drive“驾驶”均不符合带领去冒险的情境。
15．句意：当他们到达动物园时，他们看到一头狮子。
后文“doesn’t see the zoo”直接点明地点是zoo“动物园”，符合语境。house“房子”与后文“看到狮子”的情节不匹配、sky“天空”和farm“农场”均没有与狮子、动物园相关。
16．句意：“你不想随着音乐跳舞吗？”兔子问。
后文提到“Jack agrees and starts dancing with the rabbit”，说明兔子邀请他跳舞，dance to the music“随着音乐跳舞”是固定搭配，符合语境。talk about“谈论”、hold on“坚持/等一下”、play with“和……玩”均不能引出后文的跳舞动作。
17．句意：令他惊讶的是，他也看到月亮在天空中跳舞，像钻石一样闪烁。
“twinkling like a diamond”且与sky、night相关，moon“月亮”最能对应“像钻石一样闪烁在夜空中”的意象，符合语境。star“星星”数量众多不像钻石那样单独闪烁、rabbit“兔子”和lion“狮子”不能在天上起舞。
18．句意：Jack想告诉兔子关于月亮跳舞的事，但他找不到词语来形容他的惊讶。
想要描述某种感觉或景象，需要用到words“词语/语言”。bed“床”、pens“钢笔”、clothes“衣服”均与表达描述无关。
19．句意：然而，他看到妈妈站在他旁边！
前文说他在梦里找兔子、看月亮，后文突然转折回到现实看到妈妈，However“然而”表示转折，符合从梦境到现实的突变语境。So“所以”、Also“也”、Because“因为”均不能体现这种情境的转换。
20．句意：Jack笑了，想告诉妈妈关于这个梦的事，但他知道她可能不会相信他。
整个故事是Jack睡觉后发生的奇幻经历，最后被叫醒，说明这是一个dream“梦”。race“比赛”、film“电影”、place“地方”均不符合故事性质。
21．C 22．B 23．D 24．B 25．A 26．B 27．A 28．A 29．C 30．D
【导语】本文讲述国王为治愈不开心的王子，派人寻找快乐人的衬衫，最终发现真正的快乐源于内心而非外物的故事。
【详解】21．句意：但是王子似乎从不快乐。
根据上下文，此处语境为王子整天悲伤，指“王子似乎从来不开心”，应填seemed。agreed“同意”、planned“计划”、hoped“希望”与语境不符。
22．句意：他们回来时带来了他们的建议。
国王让聪明人解决王子不开心的问题，聪明人思考后给出解决的建议，应填advice。gift“礼物”、design“设计”、dream“梦想”与解决问题无关。
23．句意：把他的衬衫和王子的换一下。
文章结尾埋下伏笔：国王脱下年轻人夹克后发现他没穿衬衫，因此聪明人提出的方法是换快乐人的衬衫给王子，应填shirt。life“生命”、jacket“夹克”、heart“心”无法与结尾形成逻辑闭环。
24．句意：因为每个人都说他是快乐的。
国王去找邻国王求助，是因为大家都说邻国王很开心，对应后文邻国王说自己不开心的转折，应填happy。smart“聪明的”、lucky“幸运的”、helpful“有帮助”的不符合寻找“快乐人”的主题。
25．句意：我担心有一天我会离开这个美好的世界。
邻国王说自己不开心，因为担心总有一天会离开这个世界，应填leave。change“改变”、build“建造”、help“帮助”无法解释为何因此不快乐。
26．句意：穿过树林，发现一个年轻人坐在花园里。
此处表示从森林内部穿过，应用介词through。across“穿过”，指从物体表面穿过；over“越过”、above“在上方”均不符。
27．句意：像你这样的年轻人应该喜欢这样令人惊叹的工作。
国王邀请年轻人去王宫工作，认为这是一份极好的工作，应填amazing。relaxing“放松的”、tiring“累人的”、popular“流行的”不符合语境。
28．句意：因为我不想要任何比我拥有的更多的东西。
本句是否定句，否定句中表示“任何事物”用anything，符合年轻人知足的态度。something“某事”用于肯定句，everything“一切”、nothing“没事”均不符。
29．句意：他兴奋地说道。
国王找了很久终于找到快乐的人，看到解决问题的希望，因此是兴奋地说话，应填excitedly“兴奋地”。quickly“快地”、quietly“安静地”、sadly“悲伤地”与激动的情绪不符。
30．句意：然后他解释了他为什么那样做。
国王找到年轻人后，解释了自己为什么要请年轻人帮忙（为什么做这件事），应填why符合宾语从句的逻辑。what“什么”、when“何时”、where“何地”无法解释行为动机。
31．C 32．D 33．B 34．A 35．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了炎热干燥的夏日里，一只乌鸦因瓶口狭小喝不到水，通过向瓶内投放小石子抬高水位，最终成功喝到水的小故事，体现出乌鸦的聪明机智。
【详解】31．原文第一段第一句“On a hot and dry summer day”表明天气炎热干燥。
32．原文第一段“The mouth of the bottle is too small”直接说明瓶口很小。
33．根据第三段“The crow gets a small stone and drops it into the bottle...”，乌鸦通过不断往瓶子里投放小石子，让水位上升来喝水。
34．文章结尾“Then the clever crow can drink the water.”直接点明乌鸦十分聪明。
35．本文讲述乌鸦喝水的趣味小故事，属于故事类板块。
36．C 37．B 38．D 39．B 40．D
【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事。主要讲述了一个贫穷但快乐的小裁缝，通过打死七只苍蝇后制作腰带，在冒险中遇到巨人并用巧计赢得举石比赛，最终凭借勇敢和聪明帮助国王吓退敌人并获得奖赏的故事，传达了勇敢和聪明比体型和力量更重要的道理。
【详解】36． 根据第一段内容“He was so excited that he decided to make a belt with the words, ‘Seven at one blow!’”可知，裁缝因为一次性打死七只苍蝇感到非常兴奋和自豪，所以制作腰带是为了宣扬这件事，告诉别人他的成就。
37． 根据第二段第二句“The giant saw the tailor and laughed at his small size.”可知，巨人第一次见到裁缝时，嘲笑他的身材矮小。选项B与原文直接对应。
38． 根据第二段后半部分“The tailor used a clever way and lifted a small rock, making it look like he was lifting a huge one.”可知，裁缝并不是真的举起了大石头，而是用巧妙的方法举起小石头，却让它看起来像大石头，从而让巨人感到惊讶。
39． 根据第三段和第四段内容，国王正为坏人困扰（worried about some bad men），裁缝利用智慧和勇敢赶走了坏人（managed to make the bad men run away），解决了国王的大问题，因此国王给予了他金币和高官作为感谢。
40． 根据文章最后一句“The little tailor showed that bravery and cleverness are more important than size or strength.”可知，这个故事想要传达的道理是：勇敢和智慧比体型或力量更重要。选项D与此寓意一致。
41．A 42．B 43．C 44．D 45．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了生肖蛇起初因觉得自己不如其他动物而自卑，后来在洪水来临时凭借自己的敏锐感知引导村民避险并找到适合耕种的土地，最终为自己是十二生肖之一而感到自豪的故事。
【详解】41．第一段明确写道“‘I don’t think people like me,’ Snake thinks to himself.”，说明蛇一开始难过是因为他认为人们不喜欢自己。
42．第二段中，蛇发现河水上涨并发出巨大声响，他心想：“The water will destroy the farming land, it’s so bad.”，结合语境，洪水会对农田造成破坏。destroy的意思是“摧毁、破坏”，与Break（破坏、损坏）意思最接近。
43．第三段“He guides the people to climb to the higher ground to stay away from danger.”，说明村民爬到更高处是为了远离危险。
44．第四段“He has already got what he needs and believes that he can also be seen as a symbol of good luck.”，说明他需要的是“被视为好运的象征”，即自信和认可。
45．故事围绕蛇作为十二生肖之一展开：从自我怀疑到通过行动证明自己的价值，最终为自己是十二生肖之一而感到自豪。One of The Twelve既点明了身份，也体现了认同感。
