Ⅲ.阅读理解(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
An elephant and a crocodile were once standing beside a river. They were disputing which was the better animal.
“Look at my strength,” said the elephant. “I can pull up a tree, roots and all, with my trunk.”
“Ah! But your skin is not nearly so thick as mine,” replied the crocodile. “No knife or tooth can cut through it.”
Just as they were coming to blows, a lion happened to pass.
“My dear friends!” said the lion.“Let me know the cause of your disagreement.”
“Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal ” cried both at once.
“Certainly,” said the lion, pointing across the river. “Do you see the soldier's metal hat on that wall ”
“Yes!” they replied.
“Well, then,” continued the lion, “go and get it, and bring it to me, and I shall be able then to decide between you.”
Upon hearing this, off they started. The crocodile reached the opposite side of the river first, and was soon standing beside the wall.
Here he waited till the elephant came up. The elephant raised his long trunk, and took down the hat quite easily.
They then made their way together back again across the river. The elephant was trying to keep up with the fast-moving crocodile in the water and became careless. When he was forced to turn sharply to avoid a floating tree branch, the elephant dropped the hat and it fell to the river bottom. The crocodile noticed the accident, so down he dived, and brought it up in his huge mouth. They then returned, and the crocodile laid the metal hat at the lion's feet.
The King took it up, and turning to the elephant, said, “Because of your size and trunk, you were able to reach the hat on the wall, but having lost it, you were unable to get it back. And you,” said the lion to the crocodile, “although unable to reach the hat, were able to dive for it and save it. You are both wise and able in your own ways. One is no better than the other.”
(　　)21.The underlined word “disputing” in Paragraph 1 means 　　　　.
A.playing B.quarrelling C.complaining D.deciding
(　　)22.What did the crocodile think was best about himself
A.His big mouth. B.His strong skin.
C.His swimming skills. D.His dangerous teeth.
(　　)23.How did the lion deal with the animals' disagreement
A.He ordered them to fight.
B.He made a quick decision.
C.He suggested a competition.
D.He asked them to describe themselves.
(　　)24.What caused the elephant to drop the hat
A.The hat got wet in the river.
B.He hit a floating tree branch.
C.He was trying to swim too fast.
D.He wanted to fight the crocodile.
(　　)25.How were the elephant and the crocodile able to complete their task
A.By working together. B.By planning carefully.
C.By sharing their ideas. D.By listening to the lion.
Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,按要求完成26~30题。
Once upon a time, a hippo(河马) lived in a river next to a big tree.
One day, a bird came and nested(筑巢) in the tree. The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy(羡慕) that he couldn't think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn't born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.
Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree, and start singing. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn't have wings, nor claws to climb with.
Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing to the ground. Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree, and began singing.
Unfortunately, the hippo can't sing, either. All that came from his mouth were terrible noises, and when other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.
He was so ashamed by this. He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He used all his strength to raise the tree back up again, and look after it until it completely recovered(康复).
From this experience, the hippo knew it's wrong to do something against his nature.
