2. 答案C 根据下文的“both chickens died”可知,unfortunately“不幸地”符合语境。naturally“自然而然地”;suddenly“突然地”;finally“最后”。
3. 答案C 因为它们的死,她突然大哭起来(burst into tears)。break“打破”;happen“发生”;turn“转变”。
4. 答案A 由“under a tree behind our house”可知,作者帮她把死掉的小鸡埋在了房子后的一棵树下。bury“埋葬”;put“放”;dig“挖”;set“设置”。
5. 答案A 结合上下文可知,作者认为小鸡死后,女儿就不会再养其他小动物了,故此处指“她的想法结束了”,符合语境。end“结束”;beginning“开始”;wish“希望”;reality“现实”。
6. 答案A 根据下文的“She still tried to keep a small animal or even a snail(蜗牛).”可知,之前的经历并没有让她沮丧(upset),女儿仍然想养小动物。encourage“鼓励”;help“帮助”;impress“使印象深刻”。
7. 答案B 去年冬天的一天,作者注意到(noticed)屋檐下有麻雀一家。stare“凝视”;sense“感觉到”;glare“瞪”。
8. 答案C 结合句意可知,要想把麻雀作为宠物,首先得抓住它们,且下文的“Mum,can we catch and cage the sparrows”也有暗示,catch是原词复现。look“看”;act“行动”;catch“抓”;feed“喂”。
9. 答案D 根据上下文,作者是一个善良温柔的人,故此处用“放(put)”更能体现出这一点。throw“扔”;pour“倾倒”;pile“堆”。
