试题分析：这篇短文讲述了一个故事，狮子谎骗其他的动物说自己快死了，让它们去他的洞里听他最后的遗愿，其实是想要吃掉它们。狐狸看出了狮子的骗局，它没有去洞里。

【1】A词义猜测题。根据下句话So he asks all the animals to come and listen to his last wishes，狮子让所有的动物来听它的最后遗愿，我们可以猜到on his dead bed这个短语的意思是快死了。故选A。

【2】D推理判断题。根据短文的最后狐狸说的话可知，狐狸看到很多动物都进到了洞里，单数没有出来，所以狐狸说那些动物如果不出来，它就不会进去。由此可见，狐狸猜到进到洞里的动物都被狮子吃掉了，故应选D。
