　　學而思老師點評

　　本篇是一個寓言故事，說的是一只牧羊犬，因為天冷，就睡在牧羊人給羊吃的干草上。結果，羊吃不著草，感到非常生氣，他們認為狗太自私，自己又不能吃草，還不讓能吃草的吃。

　　答案簡析

　　1.B。從下文可知天是在下雪。

　　2.A。上文說天在下著大雪，所以地上應該被覆蓋著“厚厚的”雪。

　　3.C�？赡苡型瑢W會選go to the hill，但比較climb up the hill，后者更符合常理。意為“在這種天氣下爬上山是很危險的。”

　　4.B。根據常理，羊在那兒也很難找到草。

　　5.D。天冷，牧羊人就想呆在溫暖的房間里。英語里一般不用hot room。

　　6.C。后面是一個完整的句子，所以不可以用in order to或so as to。so that意為“以便”，后面得跟一個完整的句子。

　　7.A。全句意為“牧羊人把干草放在圍欄里以便羊在餓的時候能吃”。

　　8.B。躺在軟草上，用soft最恰當。

　　9.C。羊都很害怕狗。“三者以上的都”只有用all。

　　10.A。沒有一只羊能接近它。

　　11.D。最終也只有最強壯的羊敢上前去。小的、弱的哪有這個膽量?

　　12.C。狗大聲叫，是想警告羊。絕不是去問候它。

　　13.D。羊只好趕緊離開，其他副詞都不妥當。

　　14.A。不敢去吃草，只好私下里很氣憤地談論。

　　15.D。本句可能有同學會選let，但注意后面有to eat ，沒有let sb. to do sth的說法。，但是有allow sb to do sth.，意為“但還不允許能吃的去吃(草)。
