Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
B
Even though I just had lunch not long ago, I was felling hungry again. I went to the kitchen to look for something to eat. That was when I discovered the pudding in the fridge. It was made from milk, sugar, eggs and fruits, and it looked so yummy. I noticed that there was only one left.
I was putting the pudding on a plate when my brother came into the kitchen. He found the pudding and asked for it. "It's mine! I was the only one who found it!" I shouted. "You are my elder brother. You should give it to me!" said he. Then he started pulling the plate towards himself and I did the same.
Suddenly, the plate moved to one side and the pudding slipped out of the plate. It landed on the floor and turned into a yellow mess. My brother and I both looked at each other, feeling amazed and disappointed at the same time. It was such a waste!
To my surprise, Ollie, our pet dog, walked over to the mess on the floor. It began to lap up the pudding happily. Within minutes, the mess on the floor was gone. Ollie licked * its lips when it was done.
After watching Ollie finishing the whole pudding by itself, we realized how foolish we had been. If both of us had shared the pudding, we would both have got to eat half of it. It was because of our greed* that we ended up with nothing. That day, my brother and I learnt a good lesson.

【解析】文章大意：本文主要讲我和哥哥在厨房里争布丁吃，结果把布丁掉在地上被家里的狗吃了，这是我们明白了不要太贪婪。
（1）细节理解题， Even though I just had lunch not long ago, I was felling hungry again. I went to the kitchen to look for something to eat. 意思是我感觉到饿了，然后去厨房找食物，在厨房找到了布丁，故选D。
（2）词义猜测题。题意：第四自然段中有下划线的“lap up”最哪一个含义最接近？A. share分享；B. move移动，搬动；C. eat吃；D. pull拉。本句指狗开始高兴地吃那块点心。可以推测出其含义是：吃。故选C。
