【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要講述貓頭鷹聽別人說(shuō)所有的蛇都是邪惡的，所以在她對(duì)蛇不友好。一天發(fā)生了火災(zāi)，但是貓頭鷹的孩子還在樹里，她向所有的動(dòng)物求救，但是所有的動(dòng)物都拒絕了她，只有蛇去將她的孩子救了出來(lái)。從中告訴我們一個(gè)道理，即永遠(yuǎn)不要在不了解他人的情況下評(píng)價(jià)他人。

【1】句意：她對(duì)每個(gè)人都很友好，除了住在她的巢穴附近的蛇。

根據(jù)全文可知，表示她對(duì)所有的動(dòng)物都友好，除了蛇。表示蛇不包含在內(nèi)。except除了（除了的東西不包括在內(nèi)），besides除了（除了的東西包含在內(nèi)）。故選B。

【2】句意：貓頭鷹的朋友告訴她，所有的蛇都是邪惡的和危險(xiǎn)的。

根據(jù)空前and可知，空處與evil并列，所以用形容詞，表示“邪惡的和危險(xiǎn)的”。dangerous危險(xiǎn)的，故選D。

【3】句意：有一場(chǎng)大火。

根據(jù)空前a可知，空處用名詞。且根據(jù)A blanket of smoke lay over the trees and all the animals were frightened“一層煙籠罩著樹木，所有的動(dòng)物都嚇壞了”可知，表示發(fā)生了火災(zāi)。fire火，故選A。

【4】句意：但是當(dāng)貓頭鷹打算離開時(shí)，她意識(shí)到孩子被困在樹洞里。

根據(jù)The hole was so small that Owl couldn’t reach him“洞太小了，以至于貓頭鷹不能夠到他”可知，表示她的孩子被困在樹洞里。be stuck in被困在……。故選C。

【5】句意：他們太害怕了，以至于他們不能待在那里幫助她。

根據(jù)空前too以及空后to可知，空處用形容詞，即too...to...“太……以至于不能……”結(jié)構(gòu)，根據(jù)全文可知，表示森林大聲火災(zāi)，動(dòng)物們都很震驚，shocked震驚的，故選D。

【6】句意：不一會(huì)，他又出現(xiàn)了，嘴里輕輕地叼著小貓頭鷹。

根據(jù)句意可知，空處修飾動(dòng)詞carrying，所以用副詞。蛇去救貓頭鷹，所以他輕輕地叼著貓頭鷹。gently輕輕地，故選B。

【7】句意：我不應(yīng)該相信我朋友告訴我的關(guān)于你的事。

根據(jù)空前was以及空后to可知，用be adj to do sth，空處用形容詞。且根據(jù)I’m sorry可知，表示“錯(cuò)誤的”，wrong錯(cuò)誤的，故選C。

【8】句意：從那天開始，貓頭鷹在不了解他人的情況下從不判斷其他人。

根據(jù)句式可知，空處缺少謂語(yǔ)，且表示“判斷其他人”，judge判斷，且根據(jù)全文可知，用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，故選A。
