At the same time, a lion wakes from his dream.

這篇文章通過媽媽講羚羊和獅子的例子，告訴我生活充滿挑戰(zhàn)，必須努力學(xué)習(xí)才能不落后于其他學(xué)生。剛開始我還不是很明白，等我長大了才知道，人的一生必須有競爭，這樣才能提高自己。

【1】句意：我必須能跑得比最快的獅子快，否則我會被殺的。

考查動詞及語境的理解。A. rising升起；B. falling落下；C. shining照耀；D. burning燃燒。根據(jù)句意指朝著升起的太陽跑去，“升起的太陽”為the rising sun，故選A。

考查情態(tài)動詞及語境的理解。A. may可以；B. can能；C. should應(yīng)該；D. must必須。根據(jù)句意強調(diào)每一天“必須前進”，“必須”為must，故選D。

【7】句意：每次我看到孩子們玩游戲，聽到他們的笑聲，我都希望我能再回到那個年齡。

考查動詞及語境的理解。A. wished希望；B. realized意識到；C. preferred更喜歡；D. believed相信。這里表示不大可能實現(xiàn)的愿望，是虛擬語氣的用法，四個選項中只有wish有此用法，故選A。
