Once my mother told me a story.

At the same time, a lion wakes from his dream.

這篇文章通過媽媽講羚羊和獅子的例子，告訴我生活充滿挑戰(zhàn)，必須努力學(xué)習(xí)才能不落后于其他學(xué)生。剛開始我還不是很明白，等我長大了才知道，人的一生必須有競爭，這樣才能提高自己。

【1】句意：我必須能跑得比最快的獅子快，否則我會被殺的。

考查形容詞及語境的理解。A. biggest最大的；B. fastest最快的；C. strongest最強(qiáng)壯的；D. wildest最狂野的。根據(jù)句意羚羊要比最快的獅子跑得要快，才能不被殺掉，“最快的”為the fastest，故選B。

【2】句意：所以，幾乎在同一時間，羚羊和獅子站起來，向日出的太陽跑去。

考查動詞及語境的理解。A. rising升起；B. falling落下；C. shining照耀；D. burning燃燒。根據(jù)句意指朝著升起的太陽跑去，“升起的太陽”為the rising sun，故選A。

【3】句意：無論你是羚羊還是獅子，當(dāng)太陽升起時，你必須繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。

考查情態(tài)動詞及語境的理解。A. may可以；B. can能；C. should應(yīng)該；D. must必須。根據(jù)句意強(qiáng)調(diào)每一天“必須前進(jìn)”，“必須”為must，故選D。

【6】句意：人生必須有競爭，才能提高。

考查動詞及語境的理解。A. change改變；B. improve提高；C. accept接受；D. manage設(shè)法完成。本句指人們經(jīng)過競爭才會有提高，“提高”為improve，故選B。

【7】句意：每次我看到孩子們玩游戲，聽到他們的笑聲，我都希望我能再回到那個年齡。

考查動詞及語境的理解。A. wished希望；B. realized意識到；C. preferred更喜歡；D. believed相信。這里表示不大可能實現(xiàn)的愿望，是虛擬語氣的用法，四個選項中只有wish有此用法，故選A。

【8】句意：然而，我想起了父母的話：“為了有一個美好的未來，你必須努力工作�！庇谑俏夷闷鸸P，又開始努力學(xué)習(xí)。
