Question

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn，they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to let the mice inside the hole come out．A while later they indeed saw mice running out，one after another．Then，everyone thought that all the mice had escaped．But just as they began to clean up，they saw two mice squeezing out at the mouth of the hole．With some efforts，the mice finally got out．However，it was strange that after they came out of the hole，they did not run away immediately．Instead，one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole．It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other．

Everyone was puzzled，so they stepped nearer to take a look．They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything，and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape．After seeing what happened，everyone was speechless and lost in thought．During the meal time，the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice．

One serious American official said："I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard．"The others thought for a while and said："That was why!"A smart French said："I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife．"Again the others thought for a while，and all felt it made sense．A Japanese said："I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son．"Once again the others thought for a while，and felt this was more reasonable．So they expressed agreement another time．

At that moment，one Chinese asked："Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship？"Suddenly，the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless．The American official，the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame，and did not dare to answer．

In fact，the true love is not built on friendship，loyalty or blood relationship．Instead，it is based on no relationship．

【解析】

这篇文章通过两个老鼠之间的故事告诉了我们真爱的意义。

1.考查细节题。根据文章the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to run away．可知，这两个老鼠中的一个老鼠没有立即跑掉，是为了帮助另外一个盲老鼠。故选C。

2.考查词义猜测题。根据上文One serious American official said："I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard．"The others thought for a while and said："That was why!"A smart French said："I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife．"可知：一位严肃的美国官员说："我认为这两只老鼠之间的关系是国王和卫兵的关系．"其他人想了一会儿说："这就是为什么！"一个聪明的法国人说："我认为这两只老鼠的关系是，丈夫和妻子．"结合下文A Japanese said："I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son．"Once again the others thought for a while，and felt this was more reasonable．可知：日本人说："我认为这两只老鼠之间的关系是母子关系．"其他的人再一次想一会儿，觉得这是比较合理的．由此可以推断出：make sense意思为有道理，说得通"。故选A。

3.考查细节理解题，根据Suddenly，the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless．The American official，the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame，and did not dare to answer．可知，他们害羞的低下了头是因为觉得自己刚才表达的观点不好。故选D。

4.考查细节题．从文章第三段中可知，每个人对这两个老鼠的关系都有着不同的想法。

故选B。

5.考查主旨大意题，结合短文最后一段In fact，the true love is not built on friendship，loyalty or blood relationship．Instead，it is based on no relationship．可知：事实上，真爱不是建立在友谊、忠诚或血缘关系之上的，而是建立在没有关系的基础上，由此可以推断出：这篇文章通过两个老鼠之间的故事告诉了我们真爱的意义。故选A。
