(1) 由前后句可知，一些孩子们可以整夜沿街散步，而且在外面过夜(stay out)。(2) 由下文可知，这样做的目的是保护、拯救(save)海鸟。(3)home to... 意为“是……的家，故土”。(4)young 是名词，这里指幼鸟。(5) 因为是幼鸟，所以翅膀发育不全(undeveloped)。(6) 刚出生的幼鸟来自大西洋北部，在那里(there)学会游泳和捕鱼。(7) 与第5空相对照，some..., others...，另一部分鸟可能会迷路。(8) 不知不觉地朝着城里的方向走去(find oneself doing)。(9) 由上下句知，一旦海鸟走在路面上，会出现很多麻烦事(in trouble)。(10) 因为翅膀不硬，所以不能起飞(take off)到海边。(11) 它们成为猫和其他动物的一顿美味(meal)。(12) 由下文可知，人们帮助(help)这些鸟不受伤。(13)carrying the boxes and lights 拿着盒子和灯。(14) 花整个夜晚来追鸟、逮鸟。(15) 由上文第13空可知：抓住鸟，把它们放在盒子里。(16) 考查动词短语“放飞，释放(set sb./sth. free)”。(17) 这些鸟将生活在海边直到两岁。(18) 然后又回到悬崖边去筑巢。(19) 考查情态动词。will表示倾向性，“总是、意愿”，与always相对应。(20) 对于孩子们来说，最好的时间便是放飞了这些海鸟了。 |
