28、be5presented the school with 100 computers.语篇解读：大家都听说过“城门失火，殃及池鱼”的典故吧？生活中的我们绝不能“事不关己，高高挂起”，因为最终可能会伤及我们自己！1解析：选D根据下文可知，此处指老鼠非常想知道包里面有什么食物。contain“包含，容纳”，符合语境。2解析：选C由空后的“that it was a mousetrap (捕鼠器)”和下文内容可推出此处指它惊讶地发现包里是个捕鼠器。3解析：选A联系空后老鼠说的话和下文可知，它这是在“警告”院里所有的动物。4解析：选B听到老鼠说的话，鸡应该会抬起头和它说话。raise ones hea
29、d“抬头”。5解析：选C联系空前的“I can tell you this trap is a great concern for you”可知，鸡认为老鼠会担心这只捕鼠器，而捕鼠器根本不会干扰自己的生活。be bothered with“烦恼，担忧”。6解析：选D根据猪说的其他话可知，它认为捕鼠器和自己没有关系，对于老鼠的好意警告，并不领情。I am sorry.but这是一个固定句型。7解析：选D上文中鸡说捕鼠器和它无关，现在猪也这么说，因此用either，表示“也”，用于否定句中。8解析：选A联系后面的“but not the one that concerns me”可知，牛认为这似乎
30、是老鼠的难题，而不是自己的。9解析：选B由上文和本空前的“with its head down”可推断出，因为所有的动物都不关心这件事，所以老鼠垂头丧气地返回了屋子。frightened“害怕的”，depressed“沮丧的”，satisfied“满意的”，encouraged“受到鼓励的”。10解析：选C句意：这时老鼠知道自己只能独自面对那个捕鼠器了。pity“同情”，package“包裹”，trap“捕捉器”，wall“墙”。11解析：选A由下一句中的“rushed to see what was caught”可知，那天晚上，那个捕鼠器夹住了什么东西，此处用catching。12解析：选

32、d“给(人或动物)食物”。18解析：选B由下一句可知，农夫的妻子最终还是死了，由此判断出她的伤情没有好转。19解析：选D由空格后的“to feed all of them”可知，许多亲戚朋友来参加她的葬礼，于是农夫就把牛杀了来招待他们。20解析：选C这个故事给我们的启示：当我们中的任何人遇到麻烦(in trouble)时，我们其他人也会面临危险。.语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了几个国家可以参观欣赏的事件及其具体信息。1解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一个表格可知Young Scene Concert的时间为Nov.1520，故B项正确。2解析：选C细节理解题。根据笫二个表格中的内容可知，D
