Lion was awakened from sleep by a mouse running over his face.
Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the mouse piteouslyentreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground.
The mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a lion."
Little friends may prove great friends.
一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去，将它从梦中吵醒。
狮子生气地跳起来，捉住老鼠，要弄死它。老鼠哀求说：“只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命，我将来一定会报答你的大恩。”狮子便笑着放了它。
后来狮子被几个猎人捉住，用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。
老鼠听出是狮子的吼声，走来用牙齿咬断绳索，释放了牠，并大声说：“你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙，而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了，就算是小老鼠，也能向狮子效劳的。”
强者不会永远是强者，强者也会有需要弱者帮助的时候。

Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."
从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的.家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢?你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”
乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑!快跑!猫来了!”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。
过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”

①雨是从云层降落的水滴.雨滴有大有小：瓢泼大雨的雨滴直径一般有3—4毫米，最大可达7毫米，而毛毛细雨的雨滴直径则在0.5毫米以下。
②为了测定雨滴的大小，人们设计出许多方法，比如雷达观测法、光学雨量计法、摄影法、面粉球法和色斑法等。
③雷达观测法和光学雨量计法可实时、大面积地观测包括雨滴粒径及其分布在内的降雨基本特性，一般只应用于天然降雨的观测。摄影法是用摄影机拍摄出正在下落的雨滴的相片，然后在显微镜下测量出该雨滴的粒径，非常适用于实验室内观测模拟降雨。面粉球法是将雨滴收集在盛有面粉的`容器中，雨滴与面粉接触后，每个雨滴就产生一个小小的湿面球，烘干后称重，测出每个雨滴的大小。色斑法是通过测量雨滴在相同材料上形成的色斑大小推知相应的雨滴粒径，是历史悠久、应用最广泛的一种测量方法。
④也许有人会问，计量雨滴的大小有必要吗?当然有必要啦!
⑤下大雨时，雨滴击溅可能破坏土壤结构，造成土壤表层空隙减少或者堵塞，形成“板结‘，雨滴过大，还会打伤幼苗。因此，观测雨滴是研究天然降雨和人工模拟降雨特征及设计人工降雨装置的一项重要工作。
⑥下大雨时，不少电视频道也会开始“下雨”，影像变得模糊不清，移动电话也会出现杂音变大的情况，这是雨滴对电磁波的散射衰减作用造成的。雨滴大小不同，散射衰减作用也不同，所以测量雨滴的大小就成了解决这个通讯传输难题的前提条件。
(选文有改动
1.请简要概括本文说明的主要内容。(3分
2.文章第④段能否去掉?为什么?(3分
3.文章第⑥段加着重号的词语有什么表达效果?(2分
4.农田喷灌时，要把水滴直径控制在3毫米以下。这是为什么?请从文中找出根据。(3分
参考答案：
1.计量雨滴的方法与必要性(目的、作用、意义。
2.不能。因为它起承上启下(过渡的作用，去掉后上下文联系不紧密。
3.形象生动地说明了大雨对电磁波的散射衰减作用。
4.因为水滴直径超过3毫米，水滴击溅可能破坏土壤结构，造成土壤表层空隙减少或者堵塞，形成“板结”，还会打伤幼苗。
