    Once upon a time, a hippo lived in a river next to a big tree.

One day, a bird came and nested in the tree. The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy(羡慕) that he couldn’t think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn’t born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.

Finallythe hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree, and start singing. Howeverwhen he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings, nor claws to climb with.

Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing on the ground. Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree, and began singing.

Unfortunately, hippos can't sing, either. All that came from his mouth were terrible noises, and when the other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.

He was so ashamed by this. He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He used all his strength to raise the tree back up again, and look after it until it completely recovered.

1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.D 【解析】 短文主语介绍了有一头河马因为羡慕妒忌岸边树上的鸟儿会唱歌,所以他从河里爬到树上唱歌。因为无法上树,他推到了大树,开始在树上唱歌,但是受到其他动物的取笑,最后他认识到自己的错误,于是把大树扶起来,开始了快乐的生活。 1.推理判断题,根据The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy (羡慕),可知鸟的歌声让河马充满了如此多的嫉妒,言外之意是鸟儿唱歌很好听,让河马很嫉妒。故选D。 2.细节理解题,根据“Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing on the ground.意识到他再也爬不上树了,他气冲冲地撞了那棵树,直到它倒在地上。”故选B。 3.细节理解题,首先是“a bird came and nested in the tree. 一只鸟飞来,在树上筑巢。”,其次是“the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer. 这只鸟多次告诉他,他是如此的幸运,因为他是如此之大,如此优秀的游泳运动员。”,然后是“However,when he tried to climb the tree,it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings, nor claws to climb with.然而,当他试图爬树时,很明显河马没有翅膀,也没有用来爬树的爪子。”,接着是“they all came around to make fun of the hippo. 它们都围过来取笑河马。”,最后是“He used all his strength to raise the tree back up again他用尽所有的力气把树重新抬高”,故选A。 4.推理判断题,根据He was so ashamed by this.可知他为这件事而感到羞愧,所以他不再嫉妒鸟儿的歌声,故选C。 5.最佳标题,通过阅读文章可知,这篇短文主要介绍的就是河马学习唱歌的事情.所以这篇短文的题目是The hippo that wished to sing想唱歌的河马,故选D。
