【3】C

【4】A

【解析】

一天Nasreddin发现一只公牛在他的菜园偷吃蔬菜，他追出去，但是并没有抓到牛。之后，他在街上看到运货车上的两只牛特别像偷吃蔬菜的牛，因此他狠狠的殴打了两只牛。牛的主人想知道为什么打他的牛，Nasreddin认为牛知道为什么打他们。

【1】句意：Nasreddin立刻拿起棍子，跑出去追赶公牛，但是他太老了并没有抓到它。

his为形容词性物主代词，修饰名词，并且此处名词作宾语。备选词汇中stick表示“棍子”，符合句意。故选D。

【2】句意：……他看到或者运货车上有两者白色公牛，非常像吃了他的蔬菜的那只。

此句是which引导的定语从句，此空作从句的谓语，备选词汇中looked like表示“看起来像”，符合句意。故选B。

【3】句意：由于他们分不出哪个更像吃蔬菜的的公牛，他打了他们两个。

根据“As neither of them looked more like the ox that had eaten his vegetables than the other…”可知两只公牛分不出哪个更像吃他菜的牛，因此他两个都打了。“两者都”用both表示。故选C。

【4】句意：当他看到Nasreddin正在对他动物做的事，他跑出来喊道……

此空为谓语动词，结合句意可知，有人殴打自己的动物，主人心情很着急，因此跑出来质问。ran小时“跑”。故选A。
