【語篇解讀】

有一天牧羊人發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只一直跟隨著他的狼，起初牧羊人對這只狼時刻保持警惕，后來由于這只狼一直沒有攻擊過羊群，因此牧羊人逐漸不再擔(dān)憂。一次牧羊人離開了羊群，這只狼殺死了大部分羊，最后牧羊人追悔莫及。這個故事提醒我們，當(dāng)事情進行得太順利的時候，更要格外小心。

【答案詳析】

1.Awhile表示伴隨狀態(tài)，牧羊人觀察羊群吃草時也會偶爾打個盹兒，同時根據(jù)第二段第四句“He kept a strict watch over its movement.”也可推測出此處正確答案應(yīng)為A項。

2.C通過前一句介紹羊群一直在吃草，可推測出此處表示等羊群吃飽后，牧羊人再帶領(lǐng)它們回家，所以C項為正確答案。

3.A根據(jù)下文“He kept a strict watch over its movement.”可推測，起初牧羊人想和這只狼打架?！癶ave a fight with...”（與……打架）是固定搭配。所以A項為正確答案。

4.D通過此處的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系連詞but可判斷出，盡管牧羊人一直在嚴密監(jiān)視狼的一舉一動，但是狼卻什么也沒做，因此D項為正確答案。

5.B通過之前對狼的描寫，可判斷出狼很安靜地跟在牧羊人和羊群后面，并保持著一段距離，因此B項為正確答案。

6.C根據(jù)第一段第一句“Early every morning…took his sheep out into the fields.”可知，狼應(yīng)該是每天早晨在fields附近等著他們，所以C項為正確答案。

7.D根據(jù)之前的描述，這只狼一直未采取任何行動抓羊，因此牧羊人對它的擔(dān)憂越來越少?！發(fā)ook after”意為“照顧”；“wait for”意為“等候”；“think of”意為“想起”；“worry about”意為“擔(dān)憂”，因此D項為正確答案。

8.B固定搭配“l(fā)ook upon...as”（看作……）。根據(jù)上文“Leaving the

sheep in front of the wolf, he left.”可知，牧羊人已經(jīng)開始把狼看作自己羊

群的保鏢了，因此他放心離開了，B項為正確答案。

9.C根據(jù)下一句“The dead sheep were everywhere.”可知狼把大部分的羊殺死了，因此C項為正確答案。

10.A通讀全文，結(jié)合下文“I put my trust in a wolf!”可知，牧羊人因為

信任狼而導(dǎo)致自己的羊被狼吃掉，因此牧羊人后悔地認為這是自己

的錯，因此A項為正確答案。

【難句分析】

After the sheep were full, he would round them up and walk back home.

【譯文】等羊吃飽后，他將把它們集攏起來，走回家去。

【分析】after引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句；round up“趕攏（牲口）；集攏（分散的人或物）”，賓語them是代詞，應(yīng)放在副詞up之前。
