Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after 31 thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head 32 his walking stick．McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a 33 person, he had been 34 to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often．
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a 35 collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays 36 .
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our37 ,” said Laurence．She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant 38 bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks．“We'd be 39 there happily reading our newspapers, when 40 so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd 41 with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the 42 of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too 43. “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake．The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.” 44 , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet 45．Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast．“I couldn't 46 him．He was up there in a flash．It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police．He has also promised to change his 47 from now on．And what of James McKay? 48 he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”．“49 the most exciting birthday 50 !” said the cheerful old man．“The best since my adolescence I'd say!”

试题分析：解题导语：一位八十岁的退休老人在他过生日那天因用拐杖打一个三十岁男子的头部而被判入狱，起因是他无法忍受对方长期以来因侍弄植物和养鱼而每天把水淋到他家的阳台上，甚至淋透了夫妇两人的衣服。事后，一大群支持者为他庆祝生日，老人感到无比幸福。
1.八十岁的 James McKay 在监狱中度过了星期六的夜晚，由此可知他“打”了三十岁的 Keith Smith 的头。 答案：A
2.这位老人“用”拐棍打了对方的头。此处表示的是用某种工具，所以用 with。 答案：B
3.James McKay 平常是一个非常“安静的”人，做出这种举动实属忍无可忍。 答案：C
4.他经常被弄湿，再也无法忍受，才有了上述暴力行为。此处 drive 意为“驱使”。 答案：C
5.根据第三段中的内容可知 Keith Smith 不仅是一个痴迷的园艺家，还喜欢养“鱼”。 答案：B
6.每天 Keith Smith 家阳台上的水都会流到 James McKay家的阳台上，而且经常流到夫妇两个人的身上。此处的反身代词themselves 指的是 James McKay 夫妇两人。 答案：D
7.联系上下文可知 James McKay 夫妇几乎不敢去“阳台”。下一句中的 balcony 也是线索提示。 答案：B
8.她补充说特别困扰他们的不是对方因给植物浇水而把水流到了他们的阳台上。本句是强调句型，被强调部分是主语“the waterfalling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant。” 答案：C
9.他们正高兴地“坐”着读报纸时，突然被从上面阳台上流下的水淋湿了。 答案：A
10.他们当时正高兴地看报，完全没有想到会有大量的水流下来，所以是“突然”发生的事情。 答案：D
11.他们全身都湿透了，仿佛是穿着衣服洗了一次“淋浴”。 答案：C
12.根据本段中间部分的内容可知从上面流下的是 KeithSmith 清洗鱼缸的水，所以他们无法去掉鱼的“气味”。 答案：D
13.星期六晚上简直太“过分”了。此处的 much 表示的是程度。 答案：D
14.James McKay 没有把那些蜡烛吹灭，“相反”，发生了另外一件意想不到的事情。 答案：A
15.Keith Smith 在上面清洗其中一只比较大的鱼缸，所以夫妇两人和蛋糕都湿透了。wet through 表示“湿透”。 答案：C
16.根据后面两句中的内容可知 Laurene 无法阻止自己的丈夫。 答案：A
17.Keith Smith 不想让事态进一步扩大，他也承诺从今以后改变自己的“行为方式”。 答案：D
18.当他离开警察局的时候，一大群支持者为他唱生日快乐歌。此处 as表示“当……时候”。while虽然也可以表示“当……时候”，但是需要与延续性动词连用。 答案：D
19.根据下一句中的内容可知老人当时无比高兴，认为“肯定”是有生以来最令人兴奋的生日。 答案：D
20.此处 ever 表示“曾经”，表示这是他曾经度过的最美好的生日。 答案：C
