试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述了很久以前的一个很远的小村庄里，有一个以“千镜屋”而著名的地方。一只快乐的狗去这个地方，发现了一千只快乐的狗，决定经常来这里。另一只，非常伤心的狗来到这里，发现了一千只伤心的狗，他决定再也不来这里了。

1.A. travel 旅行 B. trip 短途旅行 C. visit 参观访问 D. ride 骑自行车。从下文可知，此处应是pay a visit固定词组，意为：参观。故选C

2.四个选项都是到达的意思，没有说到达某地，此处arrive 后省略介词at或in.故选A。

3.A. across 从表面穿过； B. at 在；C. through 从中间穿过； D. past 从旁边经过。此处是穿过洞，是从中间穿过。故选C。

4.考查名词及语境的理解。A. could 能（过去式）； B. can 能； C. possible 可能的； D. would will的过去式。整个故事是过去时态，所以要用过去式。可知故选A。

5.A. him 他（宾格）; B. his 他的; C. it 它; D. he 他（主格）;

his指他的微笑，所以用名词性物主代词。故选B。

6.A. terrible 可怕的，讨厌的；B. bad 坏的，差的； C. wonderful 极好的； D. strange 奇怪的。根据下文I will come back and visit it often.可知这是一个极好的地方。故选C。

7.the other 两个中的另一个； B. other其他的； C. others 其他的（人或物）；D. another 另一个。因为这里是泛指不确定数量的另一个。故选D。

8.A. either 也，放在否定句尾；B. too 也，放在句尾。 C. also也，放在句中。D. neither两个中的任何一个也不。因为这里是肯定句，又是在句末。故选B。

9.考查固定短语，to one’s surprise…令某人吃惊的是，用来修饰整个句子。故选C。

10.我将从不回来再参观它了。考查固定短语，come back.根据句意故选C。

考点：故事类短文。
