Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well－loved characters, (寓言) into cartoon movies.nal Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with the girl mourning her mother's death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.
The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella's food into the ashes of the fire, and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence (因此) her name.l story, the king's ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed something sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.
Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked (邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But, when they passed the tomb of Cinderella's mother, the birds called out to the prince, “Turn and peep, there's blood within the shoe; The shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.? Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother; othe other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderella's foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella's two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king's riches, two birds flew by and plucked (啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.

答案与解析 本文是一篇记叙文主要讲述了主人O'Donovan通过网络寻找Buster，使其免于被屠宰的故事体现了主人对小狗的热爱之情。 根据上文可知此处表示两辆车多年的文件和照片都在洪水中受损。故destroy意为“破坏损坏”符合语境。故A项正确。injure意为“受伤”；hurt意为“伤害”；expose意为“揭露暴露”均不符合语境。 根据本句句首的副词“Still”“但不过”可知上文说到有些东西被毁了而此处与之相反家人和狗还安全。故safe正确。 根据上文可知她家的take sth. home“将……带回家”正确。take away意为“拿走带走”；take out意为“取出拿出”；take up意为“占据开始从事”均不符合语境。 根据语境可知此处是指小狗被拴在电话线杆上。故tie“用带(或绳子等)系住”符合语境。此处“left tied to a telephone pole”是过去分词短语作伴随状语修饰puppy。 句意为：然而一个月后当建筑Buster飞快穿过前门跑了。根据下文可知此处表示转折故however“然而”正确。注意B项but后不能用逗号；therefore意为“因此所以”；nevertheless作“尽管如此然而”之意时通常表示即使做出完全的让步也没有任何影响或者说也不是决定因素如：There was no news；nevertheless一点消息也没有但她仍抱着希望。故B、C、D三项均不符合语境。 根据上文可知小狗从开着的run off意为“跑掉”符合语境。故C项正确。die down意为“逐渐消失”；show up意为“出现露面”； rush in意为“跑进冲进”。 根据上下文可知所有的寻找都没有任何结果。in vain意为“徒劳地白费地”符合语境。in place意为“适当地在合适的位置”；by design意为“故意地”；by chance意为“偶然意外地”。 句意为：几个星期后从朋友那儿得到一个信息告诉她去看看Facebook页面……此处用telling...作为后置定语修饰a text。 根据下文可知网站上登出了一些动物的照片这些动物第二天要被屠宰了。故animals正确。 当她浏览网站时不出所料里面有Buster。sure enough意为“果真果然”为固定短语符合语境。故D项正确。 由上下文语境可知预计8个小时后第二天清晨小狗就要被屠宰了。故hours符合语境。 close相呼应故open正确。 此处句意为：在他们做这件事前(屠杀动物前)我怎么能找到他？根据语境可知此处用before引导时间状语从句意为“在……之前”。 根据上文可知第二天她开车带着孩子们去了动物收容所。故B项正确。 句意为：“听说Buster还在那里我如释重负”O'Donovan说。lift...off表示“将……移去抬起”符合语境。put on意为“穿上戴上上演”；go away意为“走开”；come to意为“想起共计”。 由语境可知此处指“为了证明我是小狗的主人”。prove意为“证明”符合语境。 句意为：将我带到小狗那里(然后)你就知道他是我的小狗了。take sb. to表示将说话人带离本地去另外一个地方符合语境。 该句意为：当小狗Buster认出他的主人时他吠叫着跳跃着舔O'Donovan的脸。根据上文的“To
her ownership”可推知符合语境。故D项正确。 O'Donovan激动得哭了。burst into tears意为“大哭起来”符合语境。 根据上文可知看到小狗对主人的行为工作人员不再需要任何更多的东西去证明O'Donovan是小狗的主人了因此more符合语境。
