　　A

　　Once upon a time there was a spring (弹簧) who lived safely inside a pen.Although he heard many noises coming from the outside，he lived believing that outside his world inside the pen，there was nothing good.He was content to spend his life compacting and stretching(拉长) himself again and again inside that tiny space.

　　However，one day，when the pen's owner changed the ink，there was an accident.The pen broke and the spring was flung (抛) through the air and landed in the toilet drain(排水管)，well out of sight.Terrified，the spring was flushed (冲走) through pipe after pipe，each time thinking it might be his end.During the journey，he did not dare to open his eyes out of pure fear.Nor did he stop crying.Swept away by the water，he traveled on and on，until he came to a river.When the river current lost its force，and the spring could see that things had calmed down a bit，he stopped crying and listened all around him.Hearing birdsong and wind in the trees，he felt encouraged to finally open his eyes.What the spring saw was the pure water of the river，the rich green rocks of the riverbed，and colorful fish.Now he understood that the world was much greater than the space inside the pen，and that there had always been many things outside，waiting to be enjoyed.

　　He went over to the riverbank，and found a field of flowers.There he heard weeping.He followed the sound，which took him to a lovely flower that had been bent by a rabbit，and could no longer stand up straight.The spring realized that he could help the flower，so he offered to be his support.The flower slipped through the middle of the spring.There they lived happily together.And they would always laugh when remembering how the spring used to think that all there was to life was being a fearful spring.

　　【解析】　词义猜测题。根据第一段可知，故事的主角是一个弹簧，他生活在笔管内的狭小空间里，而弹簧的作用就是伸和缩，根据画线词所在的语境“He was content to spend his life compacting and stretching(拉长) himself again and again inside that tiny space.”可知，弹簧终日都在……和拉长自己，故可知画线词的含义为“把……紧压在一起”。

　　【答案】　D

　　【规律技巧】　根据常识猜测词义

　　弹簧具有“伸”和“缩”两种特性，原文给出“拉长(stretching)”，故该词前面的单词词义应该为“缩短”。
