解析:
【分析】
做完形填空首先要通读全文,理清故事的整体脉络:这是一则寓言故事,讲述青蛙不满懒惰的朋友老鼠从不主动拜访自己,设计陷阱把老鼠拖入水中,没想到最终陷阱也害了自己的经历。解题时优先结合固定搭配排除错误选项,再通过上下文的前后提示、逻辑关系逐一确定答案,遇到不确定的选项可以先标记,通读后续内容后再回头验证,确保选项符合故事逻辑。
【解析】
1. 选B。spend time with sb是固定搭配,意为“和某人共度时光”,主语是人;A选项take作“花费”讲时通常用it作形式主语,C选项pay一般搭配金钱表示“支付”,D选项cost作“花费”讲时主语是物品,均不符合用法。
2. 选B。根据前文“老鼠从不主动拜访青蛙,每次都是青蛙去看他”的描述,可知青蛙对朋友感到生气,angry符合语境;interested感兴趣的、afraid害怕的、excited兴奋的均不符合逻辑。
3. 选D。stop doing sth是固定用法,意为“停止正在做的事”,这里指青蛙决定不再和老鼠玩耍;stop to do sth意为“停下来去做另一件事”,不符合语境,因此选playing。
4. 选A。绳子一共只有两端,one...the other...是固定搭配,指代两者中的“一个……另一个……”;another指代三者及以上的另一个,others后面不能接名词,other后通常接可数名词复数,均不符合要求。
5. 选A。结合后文青蛙直接把老鼠拖下水的情节,可知青蛙绑绳子的时候没有告诉老鼠,without意为“没有”,符合语境。
6. 选B。青蛙的动作是跳进河里,jump into the river是符合青蛙行为的常用搭配,climb爬、run跑、fly飞均不符合青蛙入水的动作逻辑。
7. 选C。前文明确提到青蛙把绳子的一端绑在了老鼠的尾巴上,因此绳子拉动的是老鼠的尾巴tail。
8. 选A。老鼠掉进河里,它不会游泳,swim符合常识和语境。
9. 选C。它尽全力呼救,但是失败了,前后是转折关系,用but连接。
10. 选C。say to oneself是固定搭配,意为“自言自语”,符合青蛙暗自嘀咕的语境。
11. 选B。根据“high up(在高处)”的提示,可知是高空中的大鸟看到了水里的老鼠,in the sky符合语境。
12. 选C。大鸟要抓老鼠当自己的晚餐,说明它很饿,hungry符合逻辑。
13. 选B。青蛙之前在水里,突然发现自己也到了天上,suddenly“突然地”符合情节转折的状态。
14. 选A。此时青蛙被绳子连着一起被鸟抓走,想要逃脱已经太晚了,get away意为“逃脱”,符合语境;get off下车、get on上车、get into进入均不符合语义。
15. 选D。青蛙给朋友设陷阱,最终也给自己设了陷阱,指代青蛙自己用反身代词himself。
