【解析】

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述猫头鹰听别人说所有的蛇都是邪恶的，所以在她对蛇不友好。一天发生了火灾，但是猫头鹰的孩子还在树里，她向所有的动物求救，但是所有的动物都拒绝了她，只有蛇去将她的孩子救了出来。从中告诉我们一个道理，即永远不要在不了解他人的情况下评价他人。

【1】句意：她对每个人都很友好，除了住在她的巢穴附近的蛇。

根据全文可知，表示她对所有的动物都友好，除了蛇。表示蛇不包含在内。except除了（除了的东西不包括在内），besides除了（除了的东西包含在内）。故选B。

【2】句意：猫头鹰的朋友告诉她，所有的蛇都是邪恶的和危险的。

根据空前and可知，空处与evil并列，所以用形容词，表示“邪恶的和危险的”。dangerous危险的，故选D。

【3】句意：有一场大火。

根据空前a可知，空处用名词。且根据A blanket of smoke lay over the trees and all the animals were frightened“一层烟笼罩着树木，所有的动物都吓坏了”可知，表示发生了火灾。fire火，故选A。

【4】句意：但是当猫头鹰打算离开时，她意识到孩子被困在树洞里。

根据The hole was so small that Owl couldn’t reach him“洞太小了，以至于猫头鹰不能够到他”可知，表示她的孩子被困在树洞里。be stuck in被困在……。故选C。

【5】句意：他们太害怕了，以至于他们不能待在那里帮助她。

根据空前too以及空后to可知，空处用形容词，即too...to...“太……以至于不能……”结构，根据全文可知，表示森林大声火灾，动物们都很震惊，shocked震惊的，故选D。

【6】句意：不一会，他又出现了，嘴里轻轻地叼着小猫头鹰。

根据句意可知，空处修饰动词carrying，所以用副词。蛇去救猫头鹰，所以他轻轻地叼着猫头鹰。gently轻轻地，故选B。

【7】句意：我不应该相信我朋友告诉我的关于你的事。

根据空前was以及空后to可知，用be adj to do sth，空处用形容词。且根据I’m sorry可知，表示“错误的”，wrong错误的，故选C。

【8】句意：从那天开始，猫头鹰在不了解他人的情况下从不判断其他人。

根据句式可知，空处缺少谓语，且表示“判断其他人”，judge判断，且根据全文可知，用一般过去时，故选A。
