Question

    One morning, Thomas was woken from a deep sleep by a loud roaring(咆哮) noise. It sounded like a wild animal walking around under his bedroom window.

Thomas rushed over to the window. His eyes bulged(凸出) like basketballs ─  There, in the middle of the backyard, was a lion! “Amazing!” cried Thomas.

Suddenly, a giraffe poked(戳) its head through the window. It munched(大声咀嚼) the leaves from a plant by Thomas’s bed. Next, Thomas saw an elephant walk past the swimming pool and squirt(喷出) water all over Dad’s car. “Cool!” cheered Thomas. “Now I don’t have to wash Dad’s car today.”

Thomas grabbed his camera and rushed down the stairs. “ Dad, Dad, you were right!” he shouted.

“The backyard has become a jungle(丛林). Come and see! It’s amazing!” Thomas rushed outside and started taking photos of the animals.

Dad poked his head outside to see what happened. “Oh, my god!” he cried, spilling(溢出) his coffee as a rhinoceros(犀牛) ran past him. “No, no… this can’t be happening,” he cried. “It’s a disaster!”

“Don’t worry, Dad,” said Thomas. “It’s only spilled coffee. We can clean it up later.”

“Thomas, this is your fault(过错). If you mowed(割) the lawns, we wouldn’t be stuck(困在) in the middle of a jungle!” Dad shouted.

Thomas shrugged his shoulders(耸肩). “In fact, Dad, I think it’s really cool. Think of all the money we’ll save on trips to the zoo.”

Thomas’s father left angrily, while Thomas got a group of chimpanzees(黑猩猩) to pose for a photo.

【解析】

本文讲述了托马斯在狮子的吼声中醒来，一只长颈鹿头从窗户伸进房间吃树叶，接下来，托马斯看见大象走过游泳池，喷出水在爸爸的车，这样他不用洗车。托马斯冲了出去，开始给动物们拍照。他很开心，但是他爸爸很生气，因为很多动物弄出了一些“灾难”，他抱怨托马斯懒惰，如果他积极修剪草坪，那么就不会成这样。
