【解析】

本文介紹了紐鎮(zhèn)以前有很多老鼠，政府答應(yīng)人們給每一個死老鼠付錢。然后把死老鼠埋到一個坑里。今天，紐鎮(zhèn)變得干凈了。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Sometimes a great number of them knocked down a man or woman walking home at night.可知，在紐鎮(zhèn)，在晚上，老鼠會撞倒在路上步行的人，故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Then the Government promised to pay some money for each dead rat.和The Government officer thought that people were stealing dead rats from the pile.可知，很多人從大堆上偷老鼠，是因為政府答應(yīng)為死老鼠付錢，因此有人偷死老鼠，是為了賺錢，故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)The Government officer thought that people were stealing dead rats from the pile. He ordered his men to dig a deep hole and put the rats in it. Soon there were no more rats, and the Government did not pay any more money.可知，那個官員和他的人挖了一個洞，把老鼠放進(jìn)去，是為了防止人們偷老鼠，因此除去了城市里的老鼠。故選D。

【4】標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)Today Newtown is a very clean place. Many years ago, however, there were millions of rats(老鼠) in Newtown.可知，本文介紹了紐鎮(zhèn)以前有很多老鼠，現(xiàn)在變得干凈了，因此標(biāo)題應(yīng)為“紐鎮(zhèn)如何變得干凈了”。故選A。

認(rèn)真閱讀題干，根據(jù)題干要求，在文中尋找答案所在的語句或段落，進(jìn)行分析理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和概括歸納，選出正確的選項。例如小題2，根據(jù)Then the Government promised to pay some money for each dead rat.和The Government officer thought that people were stealing dead rats from the pile.可知，很多人從大堆上偷老鼠，是因為政府答應(yīng)為死老鼠付錢，因此這些人偷死老鼠，是為了賺錢，故選B。
