Early one morning, I was fast asleep and my cat Tink woke me up, which had never happened before. It was totally 1 : she slept downstairs and never came into the 2 .

I woke up my partner Russ 5 and we jumped out of bed. 6 we painfully got through the thick smoke, I was still trying to 7 exactly what was going on, and the danger only really 8 me when I went out onto the landing.

I made a 9 to the firefighters, who told us to leave the house right away. We had no 10 though it was painful to leave our belongings behind. And we 11 Tink had slipped out of the house, too.

Within minutes, six fire engines arrived. 12 our house was covered with water until the firefighters were 13 that the fire was out. However, our assumption that Tink was safe began to 14 by now. We believed that she had 15 to escape, but there was no 16 of her. Russ told a firefighter and he went back into our house to 17 her.

Finally Tink appeared with him, completely weak and draped(使松垮地垂下) over his arm. We thought she was dead 38 she wasn’t breathing and her tongue was hanging out. I felt 19 . Then the firefighter put an oxygen mask on her and 20 she took a breath and coughed. She was alive!

【解析】

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者清晨睡梦中被猫弄醒，从火灾中逃生的故事。

【1】根据上文中的＂which had never happened before＂及下文中的＂she slept downstairs and never came into...＂可知，此处指的是这完全不是她的作风，她在楼下睡，从来都不会进到卧室(bedroom)里来。uncharacteristic＂不典型的，不表示(某人或某物的)特性的＂；unnecessary＂不必要的，多余的＂；acceptable＂可接受的，令人满意的＂。

【2】参见上题解析。上文中的＂I was fast asleep and my cat Tink woke me up＂是提示。

【3】根据下文中的＂because I’d been out late the night before＂可知，作者前一天晚上外出到很晚，所以感觉到很疲惫(tired)。annoyed＂恼怒的，生气的＂；confused＂困惑的，糊涂的＂；discouraged＂灰心的，丧气的＂。

【4】根据下文中的＂White smoke spread across the room＂可知，此处指但是作者很快就意识到(realized)出了问题。remember＂记得，记起＂；admit＂承认，准许进入＂；suspect＂怀疑，猜疑＂。

【5】根据上文中的＂White smoke spread across the room＂及下文中的＂we jumped out of bed＂可知，此处指的应是作者惊慌地(in a panic)叫醒Russ，他们从床上跳了下来。

【6】当(As)他们费力地穿过浓烟时，作者仍然在试图弄明白(figure out)到底发生了什么。

【7】参见上题解析。leave out＂遗漏，不包括＂；give out＂公布，宣布＂；work out＂算出，解决＂。

【8】根据语境可知，此处指的应是当作者出去站在楼梯平台上时，才猛然意识到当时的情况是很危险的。 hit＂使突然想起，使突然意识到＂；surround＂包围，围住＂；threaten＂威胁＂；frighten＂使害怕＂。

【9】根据语境及常识可知，屋子着火了，肯定是要给消防员打电话求助的，故此处应选call。make a call 是固定搭配，表示＂打电话＂。

【10】房子着火，情况比较危急，消防员告诉他们马上离开房子，故此处指的应是＂尽管把我们所有的财物留下很痛苦，但是我们别无选择(choice)＂。

【11】根据下文中的＂our assumption that Tink was safe＂及＂We believed that she had...＂可知，他们认为Tink也溜到房子外面去了。declare＂宣布＂；conclude＂断定，推断出＂；assume＂假定，认为＂；pretend＂假装＂。

【12】很快(Soon)，作者的房子就被水覆盖了，直到消防员确定(satisfied)火已经熄灭了。

【13】参见上题解析。satisfied＂确信的，满意的＂；pleased＂高兴的＂；proud＂自豪的＂。

【14】然而，到这会儿他们的Tink很安全的假设开始逐渐消失(fade)了。

【15】作者和Russ认为她已经成功地(managed)逃出去了，但是外面没有任何她来过的迹象(sign)。

【16】 参见上题解析。

【17】消防员回到屋子去搜寻(search for)她。

【18】 根据下文的＂she wasn’t breathing and her tongue was hanging out＂可知，此处表示他们以为她死了，因为她没有了呼吸而且她的舌头伸出来了。空处前后是因果关系，前面是果，后面是因，故选because。

【19】根据前面提到的他们以为猫死了的内容及常识可知，此处表示作者感到很伤心。touched＂感动的＂；disappointed＂失望的＂；heartbroken＂极度伤心的，悲伤的＂；ashamed＂惭愧的，羞愧的＂。

【20】此处与前面的＂We thought she was dead＂ ＂she wasn’t breathing... hanging out＂形成对比，表示随后，消防员把一个氧气罩戴在她的头上，让人难以置信的是(unbelievably)，猫又有了呼吸，她活了过来。
