Ⅴ.阅读理解
Four animals—a wildcat，a mongoose，a mouse and an owl—had made their home in a huge tree.
The mouse and the mongoose lived at the foot of the tree in two different holes.The cat lived in a large hole halfway up the tree and the owl lived in the branches.
The cat feared none of its neighbours and moved about，afraid of nothing.The owl and the mongoose were afraid of the cat and kept a safe distance from it.The mouse was extremely afraid of all three neighbours.
One day the cat was caught in a trap laid by a hunter.Its three neighbours watched with joy as it tried extremely hard to get out of the net in which it had been trapped.They knew it was a hopeless task.Soon the hunter would come and they would never see their enemy forever.The mouse’s joy，however，was short-lived because even as it watched the cat，it found that the mongoose was moving towards it.Looking up，it saw that the owl too was getting ready to move down.The mouse understood that it was in great danger and that the only one who could save it was its enemy，the cat.
It jumped onto the net in which the cat was caught and began biting at it.Within a short time it had made a hole big enough for the cat to come out.Seeing the cat come out，the owl and the mongoose escaped.
The mouse ran away too.It knew it could not expect any thanks from the cat，but in saving it，it had saved its own life.

24．Which of the four neighbours had the most power over the other three?

答案 A
解析细节理解题。

25．The mouse bit at the net to save the cat because .
A．they were good friends
B．they both hated the hunters

老鼠意识到如果没有了野猫，自己面临的威胁更大，所以才救了野猫。

26．From the passage we can learn that the mouse is .
