【解析】

试题分析：短文讲述的是安卓夫人有一只小猫，一天晚上她的猫找不到了，她通过各种方式找猫的故事。

1.be found 句意：一天晚上，猫找不到了。从语境可以推测填find，找猫，用被动语态，故填be found。

2.2】shouted 句意：她到处找并且喊着她的名字，但是没有找到。表示大声喊叫，用shout，前句looked是一般过去时，并列的shout也用过去式，填shouted。

3.3】have kept 句意：我养她一年了。从语境可以推测出填keep，表示过去开始的动作一直延续到现在，用现在完成时。故填have kept。

4.4】talks 句意：我的猫很聪明而且她说话了。猫聪明，故推测出会说话，三人称单数主语，故填talks。

5.5】to call 句意：你为什么不把电话放下？可能她现在在尽力给你打电话了。根据语境，疲倦的警察听说猫会说话，敷衍女士，叫她放下电话，等猫打电话。尽力做某事try to do sth 故，填to call。
