Being a veterinarian(兽医), I had to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their boy Shane, loved Belker very much.
I examined Belker and found him 【1】 (die) of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do 【2】 for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia(安乐死) procedure in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought 【3】 would be good for six-year-old Shane to watch. They felt Shane might learn something.
The next day, Belker’s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting(拍) the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood 【4】 was happening. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped 【5】 (peaceful) away.
The little boy seemed to accept it without any difficulty. We sat together after Belker’s death, 【6】 (wonder) why animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, having listened quietly, said, “I know 【7】 .”
【8】 (surprise), we all turned to him. What he said next amazed me. It has changed my life.
He said, “People are born so that they can learn how to live 【9】 good life—like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?”
The six-year-old boy continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, 【10】 they don’t have to stay as long.”

试题分析:文章讲述了一家人都爱的一条狗由于得病被注射安乐死,小主人目睹一切后想到为什么狗的寿命比人类短,这句话改变了作者的人生。
【1】dying.考查动词形式。句中him和动词die是主动关系,此处是动词-ing形式作宾补,故填dying。
【2】anything.考查代词。此处指我们无能为力。句子是否定句用anything,故填anything。
【3】it.考查代词。此处是it作形式主语,句中真正的主语是不定式to watch,故填it。
【4】what.考查宾语从句。句中understood后是宾语从句,指我想知道他是否明白是怎么回事,指发生什么,故填what。
【5】peacefully.考查副词。此处修饰动词短语slip away用副词,故填peacefully。
【6】wondering.考查动词形式。句中动词wonder的主语和句子的主语一致,都是We。此处作状语,根据与主语是主动关系,故用动词-ing形式,故填wondering。
【7】why.考查副词。我们探讨为什么动物比人类寿命短,Shane说他知道原因。根据句意填why。
【8】Surprised.考查形容词。此处指我们很吃惊,形容词单独作状语,故填Surprised。
【9】a.考查冠词。句中life是可数名词单数,此处指一种好的生活,故填a。
【10】so.考查连词。男孩认为狗已经知道怎样去做了,所以就不必活那么长时间了。此处表“因此”,故填so。
