【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】A

【4】C

【解析】

文章大意：文章主要講的是貓頭鷹對每個人都很好，除了住在她窩附近的蛇，因為她的朋友告訴她蛇都是危險且邪惡的。

【1】句意：貓頭鷹對每個人都很好，除了住在她窩附近的蛇。

根據所給空前面的句子“Owl was kind to everyone”和后面的“the Snake who lived near her nest”可知，應該是除了，except意為“除了”，是排除在外的；besides意為“除了……還”，是包括在內的，由語境可知，應該是排除在外的，故選B。

【2】句意：貓頭鷹的朋友告訴她所有的蛇都是邪惡和危險的。

根據所給空前面的“were evil and”可知，應該填的是形容詞作表語，dangerous意為“危險的”是形容詞，故選D。

【3】句意：有一場火災。

根據所給空前面的“a”可知，應該填的是可數名詞單數，由前文“A blanket of smoke”可知，應該是火，fire意為“火”，故選A。

【4】句意：她意識到小貓頭鷹被卡在樹的洞里。

根據所給空前面的“was”和后面的“in a hole inside their tree”可知，應該填的是動詞的過去分詞，和be動詞構成被動語態(tài)，由“in a hole”可知，應該是被卡在洞里，stuck意為“卡住”，是stick的過去分詞，故選C。
