塞翁失马
中国北疆住着一个姓塞的老人,他养了许多马。
一天,他的其中一匹马走失了,人们听说这件事,跑来安慰他。
塞翁说：
“没准会带来什么福气呢。
”
过了几个月,丢失的马不仅自己回了家,还带回一匹匈奴的骏马。
所有人都来祝贺塞翁。
塞翁反而说：
“这或许会带来不幸呢。
”
因为塞翁很富有,并且养马养得很好,所以他的儿子也十分喜爱骑马。
但没想到有一次骑马时,他的儿子从马上掉了下来,摔断了腿。
人们于是又去安慰塞翁。
塞翁却说：
“也许这次又会带来好运呢。
”
一年以后,匈奴袭扰边境。
塞翁的儿子因为腿断了便没有被征入当兵队伍之中,而其他很多当兵的青年都战死在了沙场,塞翁的儿子因此保住了性命。
因此我们经常听到谚语“塞翁失马,焉知非福”。

参考答案：
◆完形填空
【主旨大意】本文介绍了狡猾的狐狸和聪明的兔子的故事。
1.A考查动词辨析。
由文章的最后一句话“tocatchforfoodand.”可知选A。
2.B考查副词辨析。
根据这句话的前一部分“Notwantingtherabbittodiscoverhim”可知狐狸肯定是轻手轻脚，因此选quietly，表示“轻轻地”。
故选B。
3.C考查动词短语辨析。
lookdown向下看；lookup向上看；turnaround转身。
文中提到“狐狸踩到一些干枯的树叶”，根据常识可知兔子应是恐惧地转过身看，因此选turnedaround。
故选C。
4.C考查名词辨析。
根据上下文可知此处表达的是“有点儿恼火失去了自己的一顿饭”，此处与上文的“hismeal”相一致。
故选C。
5.C考查形容词辨析。
根据句意以及前面的“youscaredme”可知应填afraid。
故选C。
6.B考查名词辨析。
根据上文可知，狐狸骗兔子说会帮助他挖洞，也就是帮助兔子的工作，因此此处应该填work“工作”。
故选B。
7.C考查名词辨析。
此处与第一段中的“Hewentdowntothelaketo…”呼应，所以选lake。
8.A考查形容词辨析。
根据下文可知
