第二节　 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)

A gray African goose stood at the back of my father’s　 　truck，staring into the wide shiny bumper(保险杠)--completely attracted by the image he saw there. The goose preened(整理羽毛)，waving his long 　36 　from side to side. It was an interesting and amusing 　37 　.

　　 When I noticed that the goose was 38 　there nearly four hours later，I thought it

was　 　39 　. So I asked my father about it.

　　 “Dad，”I said. “ That old gray goose has been 　40 　behind your truck all day. Do you

have any 　41 　why?”

　　 “Oh，sure，”he answered without 　42 　.“That’s Grady. He lost his ‘wife’ a year ago，and he’s 　43 　without her. For nearly a month he searched the farm for her everyday. Then one day，as he 　44 　the shiny bumper，he caught sight of his reflection in it. I guess he thinks he’s 　45 　her. So every day he comes to be with her.”

　　 Each and every morning，the geese wait 　46 　at the door of their protective shed

for my father to 　47 　them so they can wander around the farm. When Grady is turned

to loose，he leaves the others， 48 　instead to be with “ his wife. ” Eagerly,　 he rushes to

　49 　my father’s truck is parked and stares into the truck’s shiny silver bumper and 　50 　cackles(叫)away，perhaps telling her the events that 　51 　while they were apart.

　　 “Isn’t it a bit strange that Grady 　52 　at the bumper all day long? ” I asked.

　 　“ 　53 　if that’s where he thinks his companion is，”my father replied. “He's　 54　 　to her. ”

I was interested in the obvious affection this goose had once 　55 　his mate，an affection so strong that he was determined to hang on to some appearance of it after her parting.
