Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】E

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

試題分析：Parbati從小就生活在森林里，她的父親是一名馴象師，所以Parbati很小的時候就敢騎在大象身上，馴服大象，人們叫她大象公主。后來Parbati去了城市里的一個寄宿學(xué)校，但是她不喜歡那里的生活，還想回到森林里去。

【1】B句意：大象醒過來了，很生氣，所有的狗為了安全都跑回到村子里。根據(jù)文意可知，狗叫聲把大象吵醒了，大象很生氣，所以狗趕緊逃跑，是為了安全，safety是一個名詞，放在介詞for的后面做賓語。

【2】E句意：然后有人建議給Parbati，大象公主打電話求助。call 是一個動詞，給某人打電話。句中suggest的意思是建議，后面跟動名詞形式做賓語，故選E。

【3】C句意：在Parbati會走路之前，他就教她騎在大象上。walk 走路，是一個動詞。根據(jù)句意可知，Parbati的爸爸是馴象師，他在Parbati很小的時候，就教她騎在大象身上�？涨懊娴腸ould是情態(tài)動詞，后面跟動詞原形，故選C。

【4】D句意：Parbati并不總是住在森林里。always 總是，是一個副詞。根據(jù)下文的意思可知，Parbati后來去了一個寄宿學(xué)校，所以她并不總是在森林里。故選D。
