【语篇解读】

有一天牧羊人发现了一只一直跟随着他的狼，起初牧羊人对这只狼时刻保持警惕，后来由于这只狼一直没有攻击过羊群，因此牧羊人逐渐不再担忧。一次牧羊人离开了羊群，这只狼杀死了大部分羊，最后牧羊人追悔莫及。这个故事提醒我们，当事情进行得太顺利的时候，更要格外小心。

【答案详析】

1.Awhile表示伴随状态，牧羊人观察羊群吃草时也会偶尔打个盹儿，同时根据第二段第四句“He kept a strict watch over its movement.”也可推测出此处正确答案应为A项。

2.C通过前一句介绍羊群一直在吃草，可推测出此处表示等羊群吃饱后，牧羊人再带领它们回家，所以C项为正确答案。

3.A根据下文“He kept a strict watch over its movement.”可推测，起初牧羊人想和这只狼打架。“have a fight with...”（与……打架）是固定搭配。所以A项为正确答案。

4.D通过此处的转折关系连词but可判断出，尽管牧羊人一直在严密监视狼的一举一动，但是狼却什么也没做，因此D项为正确答案。

5.B通过之前对狼的描写，可判断出狼很安静地跟在牧羊人和羊群后面，并保持着一段距离，因此B项为正确答案。

6.C根据第一段第一句“Early every morning…took his sheep out into the fields.”可知，狼应该是每天早晨在fields附近等着他们，所以C项为正确答案。

7.D根据之前的描述，这只狼一直未采取任何行动抓羊，因此牧羊人对它的担忧越来越少。“look after”意为“照顾”；“wait for”意为“等候”；“think of”意为“想起”；“worry about”意为“担忧”，因此D项为正确答案。

8.B固定搭配“look upon...as”（看作……）。根据上文“Leaving the

sheep in front of the wolf, he left.”可知，牧羊人已经开始把狼看作自己羊

群的保镖了，因此他放心离开了，B项为正确答案。

9.C根据下一句“The dead sheep were everywhere.”可知狼把大部分的羊杀死了，因此C项为正确答案。

10.A通读全文，结合下文“I put my trust in a wolf!”可知，牧羊人因为

信任狼而导致自己的羊被狼吃掉，因此牧羊人后悔地认为这是自己

的错，因此A项为正确答案。

【难句分析】

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

【译文】等羊吃饱后，他将把它们集拢起来，走回家去。

【分析】after引导时间状语从句；round up“赶拢（牲口）；集拢（分散的人或物）”，宾语them是代词，应放在副词up之前。
