Zigfried’s Christmas miracle did arrive!

【解析】

文章大意：記敘文。以擬人的方式，記敘了Zigfried這只老鼠看到搬了一家新人來(lái)，圣誕過(guò)十分滿(mǎn)意，卻不知自己成了別人的圣誕禮物。

1.還是沒(méi)有人來(lái)，今天還是有希望，在圣誕節(jié)來(lái)臨前，還有奇跡的發(fā)生，carefully“小心地”； excitedly“高興地”hopefully“有希望地”；proudly“自豪地”。

2.根據(jù)后面：It needed a family“這房子需要一個(gè)家”可知，這房子空多時(shí)了。shabby“破舊的；破敗的；破爛的”；noisy“嘈雜的；喧鬧的”；messy“凌亂的，散亂的”；empty“空的，空虛的，空洞的”。

3.根據(jù)本句后面的：He realized that he hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday.“他意識(shí)到從昨天他沒(méi)有吃任何東西�！笨芍�，肚子餓了，故選C。

4.肚子餓了，他從窗臺(tái)上跳了起來(lái)，從他的家抓起一個(gè)口袋，到農(nóng)民邁克家去。同時(shí)下文有提示：···38  as he filled his bag with wheat.

5.麥克的房子對(duì)這只小老鼠來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)好地方，直到農(nóng)民農(nóng)民娶了妻子，這個(gè)女人有一只貓。although“盡管；雖然”；until“到…為止，在…以前”；whereas“但是，然而”unless“除非”。

6.麥克的妻子養(yǎng)一只貓，貓是老鼠的天敵。故當(dāng)Zigfried聽(tīng)到這就顫抖。

7.所以當(dāng)他潛入房間時(shí)，他環(huán)顧四周，小心翼翼。break“打破；折斷”；march“前進(jìn)，行軍”；pace“踱步，走來(lái)走去”；steal“偷，偷偷地行動(dòng)，秘密、不顯明地行動(dòng)”。

8.由于對(duì)貓的害怕，當(dāng)Zigfried裝小麥時(shí)都十分不安。curious“好奇的, 好求知的”； nervous“不安的”pitiful“令人憐憫的，使人同情的”；sensible“明智的，合乎情理的”。

9.它感覺(jué)到他的耳邊灼熱的呼吸。貓來(lái)了。

10.貓來(lái)了，它的心跳加速。strongly“強(qiáng)烈地，堅(jiān)強(qiáng)地”； irregularly“不規(guī)則地”；slowly“緩慢地，慢吞吞地”；wildly“瘋狂地，失去控制地”。

11.貓來(lái)了，來(lái)不及想，跑，慶幸的是，逃出了貓的爪子。escape“逃脫”；seize“抓住”；rub“擦，摩擦”；scratch“擦，刮”。

12.第二天下午，Zigfried聽(tīng)到一些好消息：一個(gè)新家要搬到這個(gè)空房子了。

13.Zigfried的奶奶也會(huì)在平安夜來(lái)與它一起慶祝。celebrate“慶祝；歌頌”； communicate“交流”；compete“競(jìng)賽，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)”；compromise“妥協(xié)”。

14.不久，一輛車(chē)出現(xiàn)在公路上，come across“偶遇，偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)”；come from“來(lái)自某處；出生于”； come off“成功，達(dá)到效果”； come up“出現(xiàn)”。

15.空房子搬了人家，故又恢復(fù)了活力。alive“活潑的，有生氣的”；loose“松的，寬的”；open“敞開(kāi)的，開(kāi)著的”；still“不動(dòng)的，靜止的”。

16.空房子搬了人家，故又恢復(fù)了活力，所以它享受著這每一分鐘。

17.但當(dāng)它聽(tīng)一聽(tīng)到孩子們的討論時(shí)，它的微笑僵在臉上了，中間表轉(zhuǎn)折。故用However。

18.當(dāng)他帶著滿(mǎn)意的微笑喝著熱巧克力時(shí)，故用satisfied“滿(mǎn)意的”。

19.它聽(tīng)到了孩子們的討論，可得到什么樣的圣誕禮物時(shí)。Introduction“介紹”；discussion“討論”comment“評(píng)論”；debate“爭(zhēng)論”。

20.什么？一只老鼠？笑容僵在臉上了。同時(shí)前面有提示：···with a  48  smile ····
