【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 本题测试动词含义。通过一则伊索寓言入手，作者鼓励读者在阅读的时候想想自己的团队，看看寓言《肚子和其成员》是如何言之有理的。stand“站立”，continue“继续”，work“起作用”，apply“申请”。这里强调寓言的普适性，因此用stand比work更合适。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 本题测试动词的特定用法。happen to do“碰巧做”，occur to“突然意识到”(常用it做形式主语)，reach to“达到”，refer to“指向”。本句的意思是“有一天，身体器官们突然意识到，他们干了所有的活儿，而肚子却将独占食物”。因此本题选occur是最合适的。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 本题测试上下文语义。The Belly不工作还吃掉了所有的食物，这在其他身体器官看来是非常不公平的事情。因此unfair是正确答案。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 本题测试语义。该句的意思是“身体器官进行了大罢工，直到肚子承担合理的工作量后再复工”，review“复习，检查”，duty“义务”，sense“感觉”，share“份额”。这里强调肚子需要承担一定的工作份额，因此share是正确答案。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 本题测试语义。该句的意思是“身体器官停止工作几日，不再让肚子进食”。control“控制”，contact“接触”，feed“喂养”，please“使愉悦”。根据题干，本题正确答案为C。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 本题测试逻辑关系。on the contrary“相反的”，in fact“事实上”，as a result“结果是”，after all“毕竟”。空格前讲到手和牙齿都停止了工作，空格后则是腿越来越劳累，手也动不了。前后形成因果关系，因此空格处应该填入as a result。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 本题测试语义。题干的意思是：这个寓言的寓意在于，一些团队成员未必比其他成员贡献的价值小。need“需求”，value“价值”，meaning“意思”，interest“兴趣”。根据题干，本题的正确答案为value。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 本题测试从句。这里需要一个名词性从句做understand的宾语，they bring to the team中bring缺少宾语，只有what既能引导名词性从句，同时还能充当从句中的宾语。因此本题正确答案为C。
