语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。乌鸦嘲笑天鹅飞得不如它快，飞行技能不如它多。但通过和天鹅比赛，乌鸦意识到:每个个体都有自己的长处和短处。主题语境属于“人与自我”范畴中“做人与做事”这一主题群。
1.C　结合常识和空后的“Do you have as many flying skills as I do?”可知,此处乌鸦问天鹅能否飞得像它一样快，故选C。
2.B　该句符合感叹句结构“How +形容词+主语+谓语！”，表示“你真笨”。故选B。
3.A　根据设空处后的competition可知，此处指天鹅问乌鸦是否敢和它比赛，故选A。
4.B　根据下文的“In the first stage... In the second stage...”可知，比赛分为两个阶段，故选B。
5.C in the end最后;at last最后;at first首先。根据空前的“The competition started.”可知，比赛开始了。所以此处表示首先，乌鸦展示了不同的飞行方式。故选C。
6.C　根据下文的“he could hardly fly and almost fell into the sea”可知，此处表示天鹅飞向大海。故选C。
7.A　根据上文中的“After flying a long distance”和下文中“he could hardly fly and almost fell into the sea”可知，乌鸦感到非常疲惫，故选A。
8.C　空前表示“你有飞行技巧”，空后表示“我有很好的耐力”，空处前后为转折关系，故选C。
9.A　结合前文天鹅的话可知，此处表示乌鸦听了天鹅说的话。故选A。
10.B　结合后文的“hung his head”和“He regretted having laughed at the swan.”可知，此处表示乌鸦后悔嘲笑天鹅，它的脸变红了，垂下了头。故选B。
