Question

　　My daughter has been crazy about raising a pet for a long time.

　　Last spring I bought two newly-hatched chickens for her. She got 1 and took good care of them. 2 , a few days later, both chickens died. She burst into tears from 3 . I helped her 4 the two chickens under a tree behind our house. I thought it would be the 5 of her ideas.

　　 6 , I was wrong. Children are children 7 . The failure hasn't 8 my daughter in any way. She still tried to keep a small animal or even a snail.

　　One day last winter, I noticed under the eaves (屋檐) of the house a family of sparrows, My daughter and I could 9 the sparrows as our “pets”, but we didn't.

　　So I told her to 10 the grains on the window-sill. A few ninutes later, the sparrows came to land on the window-sill 11 and pecked at the rice. Sunddenly my daughter asked me,“Mum, can we catch and 12 the sparrows, and let them live with us in the room? How 13 it is for them to live outside!”

　　“Oh, my dear, I do not think it is a good idea. You know,” I explained to her,”the sparrow is a bird who loves 14 . No one can keep them in a cage. If they are caught, they will 15 quickly. They are 16 to live outside. Moreover, they have warm nest under the eaves.”

　　From then on, we have set up a kind of 17 with the sparrow family. We feed them frequently and 18 them as pet birds. However, we do not need to 19 them. We 20 seeing these little birds flying and jumping among branches, leaves and flowers in the spring mornings.

Answer 1

答案：B;C;C;A;A;D;C;A;C;D;A;B;C;A;D;C;C;C;B;A
解析：

1．excited“感到兴奋”． 　　2．用“很不幸”才恰当． 　　3．from在此表示原因．心爱的小鸡死了，应该是因为“悲痛”而哭． 　　4．“埋葬”． 　　5．“不再有这种想法了”． 　　6．However转折连词，意为“然而，但是”． 　　7．after all表示说话人提醒对方注意，“毕竟”、“不要忘记”． 　　8．upset在此意思是“打乱”、“改变”． 　　9．catch捕捉，抓住． 　　10．scatter“撒”． 　　11．“一个接一个地”． 　　12．cage作动词用，“用笼子养起来．” 　　13．这句话揭示了孩子天真、善良的本性． 　　14．喜欢自由自在的生活． 　　15．starve“吃不着东西而饿死”，用在此处不恰当，而用die妥当． 　　16．这一句同上一句形成对比．用A项与现实不符，因为野生的鸟并不很安全的． 　　17．“建立了某种友谊”．而用D项“建立了某种关系”则意思含混不清． 　　18．treat…as当做……来对待．think of…as． 　　19．possess意为“拥有”． 　　20．B、C后不应接动名词．D项后接动名词时指“（在决定做某事之前）考虑”．
