Question

Once Mr King had a cat, and he loved it very much. He called it “Sky”, because he thought “Sky” was the strongest name in the world.

One day he had a meal at a restaurant with his cat. He met his old friend. He told him about his lovely cat and its name. His friend said, “How foolish you are! Sky is not the strongest thing in the world. My cat is called ‘Cloud’ because cloud is stronger than sky.” After hearing this, Mr King called his cat “Wind” because he thought wind was stronger than cloud.

After a few days he suddenly（突然）thought that “Wall” was stronger than wind. And “Mouse（老鼠）” was stronger than wall. So he went to his friend to ask for an idea. His friend said, “Don’t you think ‘Cat’ is stronger than mouse？” “Yes, but...”

The man thought and thought and then decided his cat’s name had better be “Cat” because a mouse was always afraid of a cat. Don’t you think Mr King is very silly（傻的）or funny？

试题分析：故事讲述一个人一而再，再而三给他的猫起名子，改名字的故事。

1.1】B 由第一段的首句“从前金先生有一只猫。他非常喜欢它。”可知此处选B。

2.2】A 由第一段中的“He called it ‘sky’...”可知答案为A。

3.3】D 由第四段的段意“这个男人想呀想呀，然后决定他的猫的名字最好是‘cat’”可知答案为D。

4.4】D 由第四段中的“because a mouse was always afraid of a cat因为老鼠总是害怕猫”可知答案为D。
