填空题 {{B}}第二节 短文理解 1{{/B}}
阅读下面短文，从[A](Right)、[B](wrong)、[C](Doesn't Say)三个判断中选择一个正确选项。
There was once a man who had a parrot (鹦鹉), a bird that could learn what people say. Tile parrot was very different. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his hometown, Ketunnel. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say Ketunnel, but the bird just didn't say it. Day after day, the man became angry. "You stupid (笨) bird. Why can't you learn to say that one word? Say Ketunnel or I will kill you." But the parrot would not say it. Finally, the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. "You are even more stupid than the chickens." In the chicken house, there were four old chickens, waiting to be killed for Sunday's dinner. The next morning, when the man opened the door of the chicken house, he was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens. The parrot was shouting at the fourth, "Say Ketunnel, or I'll kill you."
单选题 The bird didn't say "Ketunnel" before the man.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[名师解析] 由文章第一段第五句“the man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say Ketunnel, but the bird just didn't say it”可知本题“鹦鹉不能在那个男的面前说出‘Ketunel’一词”正确。所以选择A。
单选题 "Ketunnel" is the name of the man.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[名师解析] 由第四句“他不会说他家乡的名字，Ketunnel (He could not say the name of his hometown, Ketunnel)”可见本题“Ketunnel是那个男的名字”错误。答案应选B。
单选题 The man was always very kind to the bird.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[名师解析] 文中鹦鹉不会说Ketunnel一词，男的想要杀了他，可见本题“男的一直对鹦鹉很好”错误。所以应选B。
单选题 Three chickens have died because of the bird.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[名师解析] 文章最后三只鸡都死了，鹦鹉对着第四只鸡叫“说Ketunnel，否则我杀了你”，可见前三只鸡均由鹦鹉杀死。所以本题“三只鸡因为鸟而死”正确。答案应为A。
单选题 The bird actually could say "Ketunnel".
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[名师解析] 由最后一句鹦鹉所说的“say Ketunnel, or I'll kill you”可知鹦鹉其实会说 Ketunnel这个词。所以本题正确，选择A。
