这个故事讲述的是一对老鼠夫妇有一个美丽的女儿，他们想给女儿找一个世界上最强壮的丈夫。他们问了太阳、云、风、墙，最后竟然了解到在别人眼里，老鼠是最强壮的，所以最后他们给女儿找了一个最好的老鼠丈夫。

1.

句意：他们有一个美丽的女儿，他们非常喜欢她。

考查代词辨析及语境。him他，人称代词宾格；you你，你们；her她。根据句意可知，该空代指的是“老鼠的女儿”，作loved的宾语，应该用her。故选C。

2.

句意：老鼠和他的妻子决定为他们的女儿找一个世界上最强壮的丈夫。

考查动词短语辨析及语境。look for寻找；look after照顾；look up查阅。根据文意和短文最后“the mouse and his wife found a best mouse husband for their daughter.”可知，老鼠夫妇决定给女儿找一个最强壮的丈夫。故选A。

3.

句意：他们以为世界上最强大的人就是太阳，所以就急忙跑到太阳那里，让太阳和他们的女儿结婚。

考查名词辨析及语境。the Moon月亮；the Sun太阳；the Earth地球。根据空后“…so they went to the Sun in a hurry and asked the Sun to marry their daughter.”他们去找太阳，让太阳和他们的女儿结婚，因此这里说的世界上最强大的是太阳。故选B。

4.

句意：但是太阳微笑着说：“云比我强大得多。”

考查连词辨析及语境。Although虽然，尽管；But但是；Or或者，否则。根据空前后的语境可知，老鼠夫妇觉得太阳是最强大的，但太阳觉得云比他更强大，前后为转折关系，故选B。

5.

句意：当云遮住我的时候，我就完全失去了力量。

考查连词辨析及语境。When当……时候；Where在……地方；What什么。根据句意可知，这里表示“当……时候”，用When引导时间状语从句，符合语境，故选A。

6.

句意：当风吹得很大的时候，我被推开了。

考查动词辨析及语境。pushing推；pulling拉，拽；blowing吹。根据句意可知，这里说的是“风……”，应该是吹，故选C。

7.

句意：有一堵墙比我强大得多。

考查形容词辨析及语境。weaker更虚弱的；bigger更大的；stronger更强壮的。根据下句话“I can not push him away no matter how hard I may blow”可知，风觉得他吹不动墙，所以他认为墙更加强壮。故选C。

8.

句意：他们承诺将把他们大部分的财富给墙。

考查动词辨析及语境。promised承诺，答应；prevented阻止；protected保护。根据空后“…they would give the Wall most of their wealth.”可知，老鼠夫妇知道墙是最强壮的，所以答应给他大部分的财富，A选项符合语境，故选A。
