2.Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.However,he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters,such as Cinderella and Snow White.They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies.
The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today.It started off with the girl mourning her mother's death and going to her tomb three times a day.In addition,there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice,nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.
The stepsisters were cruel:they always threw Cinderella's food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor,hence(因此)her name.
In the original story,the king's ball actually lasted for three days.With the help of the birds,the girl,beautifully dressed,danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her.However,she broke away from him to rush back home each night.On the last night,the prince placed soothing sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape,a shoe got stuck on it.
Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant:when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe,the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe.The daughter did as told.So the prince took her away to be his bride.But when they passed the tomb of Cinderella's mother,the birds called out to the prince,
"Turn and peep,there's blood in the shoe;
the shoe is too small,the true bride waits for you."
Realizing he had been tricked,the prince returned the daughter to her mother.The other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe,with the same result.Only Cinderella's foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her.The story ends with the wedding day:as Cinderella's two stepsisters followed her,pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king's riches,two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes.Because of their wickedness and falsehood,they had to spend the rest of their days blind.
The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version.Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.

28.What dose the underlined word"They"in the first paragraph refer to?B
A.Such wonderful things.
B.Other well-loved characters.
C.Old fables.
D.Cartoon movies.
29.How did Cinderella get her name?C
A.The Birds came up with it.
B.It was given by Disney.
C.It came from the word"ash".
D.She got it from her mother.
30.The moral of the original story is thatA.
A.a wicked person cannot escape punishment.
B.a devoted person certainly deserves respect.
C.a well-behaved child earns a great reward.
D.a dishonest child cannot get mother love.
31.What does the author think of the Disney version?A
A.Excellent.
B.Ordinary 
C.Dull.
D.Ridiculous.

分析 这是一篇说明文.这篇文章主要讲了迪斯尼创造了许多很有趣的角色,但是有一些深受喜爱的角色不能归功于迪斯尼,例如灰姑娘.灰姑娘的原始版本与迪斯尼中的灰姑娘很不同,作者认为迪斯尼版本的灰姑娘非常好.

解答 28:B.猜测词义题:前一句提到其他一些深受喜爱的角色不能归功于迪斯尼.所以"they"指的是其他一些深受喜爱的角色,故选B.
29:C 细节理解题:根据 the stepsisters were cruel:they always threw Cinderella's food into the ashes of the fire,and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor,hence her name.可知Cinderella的名词来源于灰土,故选C.
30:A 细节理解题:根据第六自然段最后一句话Because of their wickedness and falsehood,they had to spend the rest of their days blind.可知最初这个故事的寓意是邪恶的人不能逃脱惩罚,故选A.
31:A.推理判断题:根据全文最后一句话The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version.Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.可知,作者认为迪斯尼版本的灰姑娘非常好,故选A.

17.Mrs.Packletide intended to shoot a tiger.Not that the desire to kill had suddenly come to her,or that she felt she would leave India safer with one wild beast less.It was because Loona Bimberton had recently taken a plane to the forest and killed a tiger,and the newspapers showed photographs of Loona Bimberton with a tiger-skin on.In a world supposed to be moved by hunger and by love,Mrs.Packletide's movements were largely governed by dislike of Loona Bimberton.
     Circumstances proved favorable.Mrs.Packletide had offered a thousand rupees (印度卢比) for the opportunity of shooting a tiger without risk or effort,and it happened that an old tiger was frequently coming to a neighboring village at night.He was so old that he couldn't kill animals in the wild and just satisfied his appetite to the smaller household animals.The villagers were eager to earn the thousand rupees; children were posted night and day in the jungle to watch the tiger,and the cheap goats were left about to keep him from going elsewhere.The one great fear was that he should die of old age before the day of Mrs.Packletide's shoot.
    The great night arrived.A platform had been built in a tree,on which sat Mrs.Packletide and her paid companion,Miss Mebbin.A goat with a loud bleat (咩咩叫) was tied down at the correct distance.With an accurate gun,they waited for the coming of the tiger.
"I suppose we are in some danger?"said Miss Mebbin.
    She was not actually nervous about the wild beast,but she was unwilling to perform a bit more service than she had been paid for.
"It's a very old tiger.It couldn't spring up here even if it wanted to."said Mrs.Packletide.
    Their conversation was cut short by the appearance of the old tiger.He saw the goat,and lay on the earth for a short rest before attacking.
      The gun fired very loudly,and the great yellow beast jumped to one side and then rolled over in the stillness of death.In a moment a crowd of excited villagers appeared on the scene,and their shouting carried the glad news to the village.
    It was Miss Mebbin who found that the goat was dying from a bullet-wound,while no wound could be found on the tiger.Evidently the wrong animal had been hit,and the tiger had died of heart-failure,caused by the sudden loud noise of the gun.Mrs.Packletide was annoyed at the discovery; but anyway,she owned a dead tiger,and the villagers,anxious for their thous and rupees,gladly accepted the fiction that she had shot the tiger.And Miss Mebbin was a paid companion.Therefore Mrs.Packletide faced the cameras with a light heart,and her pictures appeared on the newspapers of England and America.As for Loona Bimberton,she refused to look at a newspaper for weeks,and was in a depressed emotion for quite some time.
    Mrs.Packletide's tiger-skin was inspected and admired by the neighbors,and Mrs.Packletide went to the Costume Ball in the character of Diana (狩猎女神).
"How amused everyone would be if they knew what really happened,"said Miss Mebbin a few days after the ball.
"What do you mean?"asked Mrs.Packletide quickly.
"How you shot the goat and frightened the tiger to death,"said Miss Mebbin,with her unpleasant laugh.
"No one would believe it,"said Mrs.Packletide,her face changing color rapidly.
"Loona Bimberton would,"said Miss Mebbin.
    Mrs.Packletide's face settled on greenish white."You surely wouldn't give me away?"she asked.
"I've seen a weekend cottage near Dorking,"said Miss Mebbin,"six hundred and eighty.Quite a bargain,only I don't happen to have the money."
    Miss Mebbin possessed the pretty weekend cottage.Mrs.Packletide lost interest in animal-hunting.
"The extra expenses are so heavy,"she said to inquiring friends.
