A fox one day fell into a deep well and could find no means of escape. A thirsty goat came to the same well, and seeing the fox, inquired if the water was good. Concealing his sad situation under a merry guise, the fox sang high praise of the water, saying it was excellent beyond measure, and encouraging him to descend. The goat, mindful only of his thirst, thoughtlessly jumped down, but just as he drank, the fox informed him of the difficulty they were both in and suggested a scheme for their common escape. "If," said he, "you will place your forefeet upon the wall and bend your head, I will run up your back and escape, and will help you out afterwards." The goat readily assented and the fox leaped upon his back. Steadying himself with the goat’s horns, he safely reached the mouth of the well and made off as fast as he could. When the goat blamed him for breaking his promise, he turned around and cried out, "You foolish old fellow! If you had as many brains in your head as you have hairs in your beard, you would never have gone down before you had inspected the way up, nor have exposed yourself to dangers from which you had no means of escape."
16. How did the fox come out of the well?
17. Why did the fox sing high praise of the water?
18. What does the story try to tell us?
选项 A、He jumped to the mouth of the well from the goat’s back.
B、He came out by pulling the horn of the goat.
C、He climbed to the mouth of the well by himself.
D、He swam out of the well when the water was rising.
答案 A
解析 短文提到，狐狸跳上了山羊的背。利用山羊角站稳，然后安然地到了井口，并迅速地逃离。可见狐狸是从山羊背上跳出井口的，故A正确。山羊不是在井外，狐狸抓住山羊角也不可能爬出井，B不对；C、D很容易排除。对于故事性短文，可以先大体浏览一遍题目，看题目可能问到什么内容，然后认真听故事，尽量把听到的信息在脑海里转化为画面，最后再根据问题答题。对故事情节想象得越清楚，解题就越容易。
