【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述獅子說自己快要死了，因此讓所有的動物都去看望他，聽他的最后遺言，貓、羊和兔子先后進(jìn)了獅子洞沒有出來，獅子出來問狐貍為什么不進(jìn)去，狐貍回答說之前的沒有出來，所以在外面等它們出來。

1.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文So he asks all the animals to come and listen to his last wishes的描述可知，這里指的是獅子快要死了。故選B。

2.判斷推理題。根據(jù)上下文的描述可知，貓、羊和兔子先后進(jìn)了獅子洞都沒有出來，狐貍知道獅子會吃掉動物的，因此沒有進(jìn)去。故選C。

3.判斷推理題。聯(lián)系上下文可知，進(jìn)去的貓、羊和兔子都沒有出來，可以推知是獅子謊稱自己病了，其實(shí)真正的目的是想要吃了它們。故選C。

4.4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)狐貍所說的話I see many animals go into your cave, but nobody comes out. Before they come out again, I will wait outside.可知，狐貍知道獅子會吃動物，因此在它們出來之前它沒有進(jìn)去，可知它非常聰明。故選D。
