试题分析:这篇短文主要讲述的是作者小时候发生的一件难忘的事。文章讲述,作者住在南卡罗莱纳的一个森林边缘,每天早上都能够听到悦耳的鸟鸣。于是捕捉到了一只小鸟并细心的饲养在笼子里,希望它能够给自己带来美妙的音乐。第二天,小鸟的妈妈叼来了食物落在了鸟笼上,给小鸟喂食。这让作者很高兴。可是,第二天早上,小鸟死了。一个恰巧在森林里的科学家告诉作者,雌鸟发现小鸟在笼子里,会给它带来有毒的食物,它认为鸟儿宁可死也不要呆在笼子里。从那时起,作者再也不养鸟,它们有权利在天空翱翔。
【1】A考查动词及语境理解。put:放置,cut:切、砍,draw:画,pull:拖。根据语境可知,这里指的是在作者身上发生的事情让作者再也不把鸟儿关在笼子里。结合选项可知应选A。
【2】B考查名词及语境理解。river:河流,forest:森林,city:城市,sea:海洋。根据语境可知,这里指的是作者住在南卡罗莱纳的一个森林边缘。结合选项可知应选B。
【3】A考查比较级及语境理解。more beautiful:更美妙的,less terrible:不可怕的,worse:更糟糕的,more beautifully:更美妙地。根据语境可知,这里修饰的是名词sound,指的是没有任何声音能够比这鸟儿的声音更美妙的了。故应选A。
【4】C考查连词及语境理解。but:但是,表示转折;or:或者,表示选择;and:而且,表示并列;though:虽然,表示让步。根据语境可知,这里指的是作者把鸟儿饲养在笼子里,而且这样作者才可以拥有自己的歌唱家。故应选C。
【5】D考查形容词及语境理解。lucky:幸运的,silent:沉默的,kind:善良的,frightened:害怕的。根据下文“fluttered about the cage”可知,这里指的是鸟儿因为害怕而在笼子里乱飞。结合选项可知应选D。
【6】B考查反身代词及语境理解。yourself:你自己,myself:我自己,herself:她自己,himself:他自己。根据语境可知,这里指的是作者因为鸟儿安静下来了而暗自高兴。动作的执行者为主语本身,故应选B。
