1. 动词辨析。A.helping帮助；B.visiting拜访；C. tending试图；D.seeking寻找。据文意小男孩是到农场拜访他的祖父母，故选B。

2. he could never hit the target可知小男孩得到弹弓后在树林里练习，故选A。

3. 形容词辨析。A.anxious着急的；B.tired疲劳的；C.pleased高兴的；D.discouraged泄气的。据上文小男孩没有射中过目标，应该是感到有一些垂头丧气，故选D。

4. 动词辨析。A.caught抓住；B.injured受伤；C.killed杀死；D.seized抓住。据下文he hid the dead duck in the woodpile可知，鸭子死了，故选C。

5. 名词辨析。A.surprise惊讶；B.disappointment失望；C.anger生气；D.horror恐惧。据文意小男孩失手射死了鸭子，还把它藏了起来可知他当时应该很害怕，不想让人知道，故选D。

6. 逻辑考察。A.only仅仅；B.so as只要；C.in order为了；D.expecting期望。藏起来之后，结果发现姐姐Sally把整个过程都看见了。only to do 表示意想不到的结果，故选A。

7. 连词辨析。姐姐看到整个过程，正常思维会是去告状，结果姐姐并没有说什么，所以前后是转折关系，用but连接，故选D。

8. 介词辨析。A.At在……；B.After在……之后；C.Before在……之前；D.When当……时。后面写到“Sally, let’s wash the dishes.”要去洗碗，那就得知应该是吃完饭后，所以用After，故选B。

10.。A.called叫；B.whispered低声说；C.nodded点头；D.signed打手势。据文意姐姐提醒Johnny别忘了鸭子的事，那这时应该是以很低的声音偷偷说给Johnny， 故选B。

11. 逻辑考察。据文意爷爷去钓鱼，就问孩子们去不去，故选A。

12. 动词辨析。A.sighed叹气；B.agreed同意；C.objected反对；D.smiled微笑。虽然奶奶说做饭需要Sally帮忙，根据下文Well, that’s 5 because Johnny told me he wanted to help.可知Sally知道Johnny会帮忙，所以她是笑着说的。故选D。

13. 习语用法。A.easy容易的；B.all right好的；C.fine好；D.impossible不可能。针对上文奶奶说的“I’m sorry but I need Sally to help make supper.”以及后句 because Johnny told me he wanted to help.可知Sally故意笑着说，“没关系” (that’s all right），故选B。

14. 动词辨析。A.Searching搜寻；B.Hiding藏；C.Remembering记得； D.Regretting后悔。上文提到“Remember, the duck?”说明这时Johnny想起了鸭子的事，只能留下来不能去钓鱼了，故选C。

15.名词辨析。A.homework作业；B.housework家务；C.farm work农活；D.cooking做饭。 从上文提到的两件事一个是洗碗另一个是做饭，这都属于家务活，故选B。

17.。A.sat坐；B.went去；C.lay躺；D.knelt跪。这儿Johnny向奶奶承认了自己把鸭子射死的事实，他的奶奶跪着给他拥抱安慰他，故选D。

18. 动词辨析。A.know知道；B.heard听见；C.saw看见；D.understand理解。奶奶听了Johnny说出真相后表示自己当时就在窗前，所以也看到了整个过程，跟前文56个空处相照应，故选C。

19. 动词辨析。A.missed错过；B.forgave原谅；C.congratulated祝贺； D.punished惩罚。奶奶为什么不揭穿Johnny是因为爱他，等着他承认错误宽恕他，故选B。
