rtheducks.D.EugiewasworriedthatArnoldmightdrown答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。从Eugie的动作和语言“Eugieloweredhiseyelids,‘You’ddrownbeforeyougotit,thelegsofyoursaresoweak.’Hesaidcontemptuously.”可知，Eugie认为Arnold无法偷到鸭子，他可能会淹死，因为他的腿有问题。Eugie的语气轻蔑高傲，故可推断，Eugie总是嘲笑Arnold。故答案为A。3.WhydidEugieliestill?A.Arnoldshothimintentionally.B.Arnoldkilledhimaccidengtally.C.Hepretendedtobeunconscious.D.Hewasreadytoshootsomeducks.答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节推理题。结合第六段“...Hisriflecaughtonthewireandhepulledatit.Theairwasrockedbythesoundoftheshot.Feelingfoolish,heliftedhisface...”可知，Arnold的枪缠到了电线上，在他准备去拉枪的时候，空气被枪击的声音震动了，他觉得他真是笨；又及第七段“...Eugieseemedtobeclimbingtheearth,asiftheearthranupanddown,andwhenhefoundhecouldn’tscaleithelaystill.”可推知，Eugie的动作是中弹后的动作，他感到大地在摇晃，原来是Arnold无意中开枪击中了Eugie，他已经死去，静静地躺着。故答案为B。4.Itcanbeinferredfromthepassagethat.A.therelationshipbetweenArnoldandEugiewasnotsogood.B.ArnoldfollowedEugieapproachingthelaketostealducks.4\nC.theywerecrouchingforwardtostealthewheat.D.EugiewasalwaystakingcareofArnold.答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。结合第四段“Eugieloweredhiseyelids,‘You’ddrownbeforeyougotit,thelegsofyoursaresoweak.’Hesaidcontemptuously”和后文的第六段“Feelingfoolish,heliftedhisface,baringittoanexpectedshowerofdersisionfromhisbrother.”可知，Eugie总是嘲笑Arnold.他们的关系应该不好。故A选项正确。由第一段第一句话“ArnoldfollowedEugiedowntheslope...”可知，B选项是文章提到的细节，无需推理。由第二段Eugie说.“Ifyouhityourduck,youwantmetogoinafterit?”可推断，他们去偷鸭子，不是麦子。由前面的分析知，Eugie总是嘲笑Arnold，不会照顾Arnold。综合上述分析，B、C、D均不选。4
