下面是几则寓言小故事：

1. An ant went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, and being carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point of drowning. A dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a bird catcher came and stood under the tree, aiming at the dove. The ant, perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain the bird catcher shouted, and the noise made the dove take wing.

2.Two men were travelling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and pretended to be dead as much as he could. The bear soon left him, for he will not touch a dead body. When he disappeared, the other traveler descended from the tree, and asked his friend what it was the bear had whispered in his ear. ―He gave me this advice, his companion replied. ―Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger.

3. A prince had some monkeys trained to dance. Being naturally good at learning, they showed themselves excellent pupils, and in their rich clothes and masks, they danced as well as any of the courtiers. Their performance was often repeated with great applause, till on one occasion a courtier, bent on mischief, took from his pocket a handful of nuts and threw them upon the stage. The monkeys at the sight of the nuts forgot their dancing and became (as indeed they were) monkeys instead of actors. Pulling off their masks and tearing their robes, they fought with one another for the nuts. The dancing spectacle thus came to an end in the laughter and ridicule of the audience.

4. A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he noticed something shining in the straw. "Ho! Ho!" said he, "that’s for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. It turned out to be a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard. ―You may be a treasure, signed the cock, ―to man, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn.

5. An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice. He ordered his servants to bring in a bunch of sticks, and said to his eldest son: "Break it." The son tried hard, but with all his efforts was unable to break the bundle. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. ―Untie it, said the father, ―and each of you take a stick. When they had done so, he called out to them: ―Now, break, and each stick was easily broken.

试题解析：考察信息匹配题。考察对寓言主旨大意的理解，首先要读懂寓言的故事情节，接着从故事情节中读懂更深层的寓意。可以适当使用排除法进行选择。

1. 考察主旨大意题。这一段讲了一个善有善报的故事，一只蚂蚁到河边喝水解渴，不小心落入水中，在生死关头，鸽子从树上扔下一片树叶，蚂蚁得救了。就在此时，一只捕鸟人悄悄接近了鸽子，蚂蚁意识到鸽子的危险，刺痛了捕鸟人的脚，那人痛的叫喊了起来，惊飞了鸽子，鸽子也因此逃脱了厄运。由此可知，鸽子的善良也救了自己。故选D。意为：善有善报。

2. 考察主旨大意题。两个朋友一起旅行，突然一只熊出现准备攻击他们，其中一人立刻抛下了朋友跑到了树上，另一人则躺在地上装死，因为熊不会碰死人，于是熊走了，这时树上的朋友下来询问熊对他说了什么，装死的人说，不要和在危险关头抛弃你的朋友一起旅行。故选C。意为：患难见真情。

3. 考察主旨大意题。一个国王驯养了一群会跳舞的猴子，这些猴子表现非常棒，因此锦衣玉食，收到了各种掌声。一次偶然的表演中，一个大臣在这些猴子跳舞时扔下了一把坚果。这些猴子为了抢夺坚果，不惜互相争斗。最后这场表演变成了一个笑话。故选A。意为：事情往往不是你看见的那个样子。

4. 考察主旨大意题。一只公鸡正昂首阔步走在庭院里，忽然看见稻草中什么东西闪闪发光，于是迅速从稻草中把它刨了出来，那是一颗不知什么时候遗落的珍珠，公鸡于是说道：对有些人而言那是珍宝，对我而言，我宁愿它是一颗麦粒。这则寓言意在表明珍贵的东西之所以珍贵，是拥有它的人懂得它的价值。故选F。意为：只有懂得价值的人才会珍惜宝物。

5. 一个老汉在弥留之际，想告诉他的儿子们一些遗言。于是召集了他的儿子们，让仆人拿来一束棒子，对大儿子说，弄断它，大儿子试了试失败了，其他儿子也一一试过，却都失败了。于是老汉让儿子没人拿一根木棒，这样就能轻易掰断它了。这则寓言告诉我们团结合作的力量是不可估量的。故选E。意为：团结就是力量。
