Ⅲ. 阅读理解
Four animals—a wildcat, a mongoose, a mouse and an owl—had made their home in a huge tree.
The mouse and the mongoose lived at the foot of the tree in two different holes. The cat lived in a large hole halfway up the tree and the owl lived in the branches.
The cat feared none of its neighbours and moved about, afraid of nothing. The owl and the mongoose were afraid of the cat and kept a safe distance from it. The mouse was extremely afraid of all three neighbours.
One day the cat was caught in a trap laid by a hunter. Its three neighbours watched with joy as it tried extremely hard to get out of the net in which it had been trapped. They knew it was a hopeless task. Soon the hunter would come and they would never see their enemy forever. The mouse's joy, however, was short-lived because even as it watched the cat, it found that the mongoose was moving towards it. Looking up, it saw that the owl too was getting ready to move down. The mouse understood that it was in great danger and that the only one who could save it was its enemy, the cat.
It jumped onto the net in which the cat was caught and began biting at it. Within a short time it had made a hole big enough for the cat to come out. Seeing the cat come out, the owl and the mongoose escaped.
The mouse ran away too. It knew it could not expect any thanks from the cat, but in saving it, it had saved its own life.
【解题导语】 野猫吃猫头鹰和猫鼬，三者都吃老鼠。野猫是猫头鹰和猫鼬的敌人，反而成了老鼠的“朋友”，救了老鼠的命。
1．The mouse lived in extreme fear every day because ________. A．it lived at the foot of the tree B．hunters set traps everywhere
C．all its three neighbours might eat it at any time D．its food might be taken away by its neighbours
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句、第四段中猫鼬和猫头鹰对老鼠的虎视眈眈以及最后一段中老鼠将野猫放出来后自己也逃离了可知，这三个邻居都对老鼠有生命威胁，因此它每天都生活在极度恐慌之中。
2．Which of the four neighbours had the most power over the other three? A．The wildcat.
B．The mouse.
C．The mongoose. D．The owl.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，野猫无所畏惧，四处乱逛；猫头鹰和猫鼬害怕野猫；老鼠害怕前三者。由此可知，在这四个邻居中，野猫最强势。
3．The mouse bit at the net to save the cat because ________. A．they were good friends B．they both hated the hunters
C．the mouse was too kind to see the cat die D．the other two neighbours were to attack it
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第四段最后三句可知，野猫被困住之后，猫鼬和猫头鹰没有了天敌的威胁，于是准备攻击老鼠。老鼠意识到如果没有了野猫，自己面临的威胁更大，所以才救了野猫。
4．From the passage we can learn that the mouse is ________. A．kind C．clever
B．brave D．stupid
解析：选C 推理判断题。老鼠救了猫来保全自己，但也不寄希望于猫会感谢自己，也逃跑了。由此可推知，老鼠是聪明的。
