阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A priest(牧师) had a cat that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The priest persuaded, offered warm milk, et The kitty would not come down. The tree was not strong enough to climb, so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitty. He did so, checking his progress in the car frequently, then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent enough for him to reach the kitty. But as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke.
The tree went “boing!” and the kitty at once sailed through the air —out of sight. The priest felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they’d seen his kitty. Nobody had seen a lost kitty.
So, he prayed, “God, I just give this kitty to your keeping,” and went on about his business.
Several days later he was at the grocery store, meeting one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Now this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?”
She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if God gives you a cat, you can keep it.” She told the priest, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. You won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and landed right in front of her.”
【小题1】The priest drove his car to bend the tree in order to ________.
A. get his kitty down from the tree
B. persuade his kitty to come down
  offer the kitty some warm milk

A. was happy he didn’t have to care for the kitty
B. hoped his neighbors would look after his cat
  thought his kitty might be lost or killed
D. didn’t want to see his kitty any more
【小题3】 Why was the priest amazed when he saw the woman had bought much cat food?
A. Because he couldn’t imagine she had her own cat.
B. Because the woman was his church member.
  Because he thought she would live on cat food.
D. Because he knew clearly she didn’t like a cat.
【小题4】Which may be the best title of this passage?
A. A flying cat                           B. A lucky girl

Wings of Angel
I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”. Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not   36 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder (脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much   37  than others.
I hated going to school and I hated people   38  at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing straight and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the   39  and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).
My friends found me   40  because I didn’t let others get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life   41  Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school — a spot where no one would   42  me. That’s when I first heard her voice.
“Hi. Can I sit down?”
I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.
“What are you looking at?” she asked.
“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No idea.”
“I bet they’re playing games and making friends. Don’t you think so?”
That was how our   43  started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche (处境) — until it was sunset.
Then suddenly, she saw my   44 . She just stared.
My heart sank. What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would   45  me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know   46  your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be sentenced. I begged in my heart for her to   47 , but she just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answered   48 .
She bent and whispered in my ears.
“Your back is hunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”
I was   49 . I looked into her eyes and her kindness touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to   50  myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were 【小题1】 .The rivers were long gone back into the 【小题2】 .If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true 【小题3】 of sharing and 【小题4】 the only miracle I had seen with my own eyes.
I was in the kitchen making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. Minutes after he 【小题5】 into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.
I went back to make sandwiches, 【小题6】 that what he had been doing was completed. Moments later, 【小题7】 ,he was once again toward the woods. This 【小题8】 went on for an hour—walked 【小题9】 to the woods, and ran back to the house.
【小题10】 I couldn’t take it any longer, so I went out of the house quietly and 【小题11】 him on his journey. As I leaned into spy on him. I saw the most 【小题12】 sight. Several large deer were in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. And I saw a tiny young deer lying on the ground 【小题13】 suffering from dehydrateion (脱水) and heat exhaustion, lifting its head with 【小题14】 effort to drink up the water in my beautiful boy’s 【小题15】 .
When the water was 【小题16】 ,Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap that we had 【小题17】 .Billy opened it all the way up and a small trickle(细流) began to creep out. When he stood up and began to 【小题18】 ,I was there in front of him. His little eyes were just filled with tears.
“I’m not 【小题19】 ,”was all he said.
As the tears that rolled down his face began to hit the ground,they were suddenly 【小题20】 by other drops…more drops…and more.
All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like one little boy saved deer.
