【20】A

【解析】【1】由文中第三段“Inky was a gentle cat”可知Inky是一只小猫的名字，所以此处应是“取名”之意，故选“named”。

【2】由于Glen Kruger在一个非常大的农场里长大，因此只能把猫当作(as)自己的玩伴。

【3】Glen Kruger的听力损伤当然是因为农场中的机器设备所发出的噪音(noise)所致。sound指一切声响；alarm“警报声”；voice指人的声音。

【4】由前文可知Glen Kruger以猫为伴，所以此处应为animals。

【5】share...with“与……共享”。Inky与其他五只小猫共居一室。

【6】但2009年1月的一天夜里Inky所做的事情把Inky与其他普通小猫区别开来。

【7】由下文Inky所做的事情可知Inky不是一只普通(ordinary)小猫，familiar“熟悉的”；lovely“可爱的”；outstanding“杰出的”。

【8】在睡觉前要把炉子关闭，shut off“关闭(炉子、煤气、自来水等)”；shut out“不让……进入”；shut down“停工；关闭(商店，工厂等)”；shut up“关闭(房门等)；使……闭嘴”。

【9】爬楼梯只能用climb。

【10】在关灯的过程中，Kruger从楼梯上滑下来，背部撞(hit)在一个旧架子上，bend“弯曲”；shake“晃动”；pull“拉”。

【11】从楼梯上摔下来，当然是躺(lie)在血泊中。

【12】由于流血过多，Kruger感觉自己(himself)快要休克了。

【13】Kruger大声呼救，但是(but)他的妻子正在房子另一端的一间卧室里睡觉。

【14】后来(Then) Kruger发现了Inky正在楼梯顶端注视着自己。

【15】得到主人的命令且情况危急，这只聪明的小猫自然会跑(run)向女主人的卧室。

【16】男主人躺在血泊中，生命垂危，于是Inky疯狂地(madly)抓门，直到女主人把门打开，rapidly“快地；迅速地”；suddenly“突然地”；urgently“紧急地”。

【17】由文中第四段“Kruger had gone down to the basement to...”可知答案为B。

【18】Kruger从楼梯上摔下来，肯定是躺在楼梯下(at the bottom of)。in the middle of“在……中央”；at the top of“在……顶端”；in the front of“在……前部”。

【19】Kruger住进了医院，当然是在医院里康复(recover)了。regret“后悔”；rest与relax意思相近，都有“休息，放松”之意。

【20】Inky救了男主人一命，Kruger心存感激，自此以后，Inky从未(never)离开男主人半步。
