Question

    In June, 2013, I started my work at the animal shelter's Adoption (领养) Department. Over the years, more than 50000 animals have _______ the doors of the shelter (收容所). Sometimes there are _______ animals, who touch me so deeply that I could never forget them. Tabby was such an animal.

Tabby was an ancient Cooker Spaniel, probably 14 years old. What's more, she was blind and deaf. Tabby's chances of adoption seemed small. We all thought that Tabby would live out the rest of her life at the _______.

One day a woman named Loretta came to the shelter. Her son, Gary, was interested in Tabby! What could a young child possibly see in a 14-year-old dog who was both blind and deaf? Most boys would want a dog who could grow with them and _______ through grassy fields on summer days. Tabby would _______ be able to do that. But after meeting her, Loretta and Gary decided that she was the right dog for their family. They adopted Tabby!

If Tabby′s story simply ended with her ________ adoption, it would still have been something very special indeed. ________, it was what happened after her adoption that people might think to be "magic". Gary had seizures (癫痫).Since Gary and Tabby met, they have been friends. They became so "in tune" with one another that Tabby began to tell Gray's seizures ________ they appeared, giving his family a(n) _______ that one was about to strike (到达). What's more, Gary seemed to be having fewer and fewer seizures since Tabby arrived.

【解析】

文章讲述的是作者在一家动物收容所工作，在这里收养了很多只动物，有些动物非常的特殊，他们的故事深深地触动了作者，短文主要讲述了关于Tabby的故事。

1.句意：多年来，超过5万只动物通过了收容所的大门。

broken打破；passed经过；locked锁门；根据句意理解可知，作者是在收容所工作，那么就会有很多动物通过收容所的大门，故选B。

2.句意：有时有一些特别的动物。

strange奇怪的；special特殊的；active积极的；根据句意理解及后文it would still have been something very special indeed.这仍然是一件非常特别的事情。可知这里指的是有一个特别的动物，故选B。

3.句意：我们都以为泰比会在庇护所度过余生。

hospital医院；farm农场；shelter收容所；根据句意理解及前文I started my work at the animal shelter's Adoption (领养) Department.我在动物收容所收养部开始工作。可知这里表达的是“在收容所度过余生”，故选C。

4.句意：大多数男孩都希望有一只狗能和他们一起生长，在夏天的时候和他们一起在草地上跑的小狗。

run跑；get得到；break打破；根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“在草地上跑来跑去”，所以这里应该用run，故选A。

5.句意：泰比永远也做不到。

often经常；exactly准确地；never从不；根据句意理解及前文Tabby was an ancient Cooker Spaniel, probably 14 years old. What’s more, she was blind and deaf.可知Tabby又老又瞎，所以它永远也做不到这些，故选C。

6.句意：如果泰比的故事仅仅以她的成功收养而结束。

successful成功的；normal正常的；sad伤心的；根据句意理解及前文But after meeting her, Loretta and Gary decided that she was the right dog for their family. They adopted Tabby!可知，Loretta and Gary收养了Tabby，所以这里表达的应该是“成功的”，英语是successful，故选A。

7.句意：然而，正是在她被领养后发生的事情，人们认为才是“神奇的”。

However然而；Moreover而且；Perhaps或许；根据句意理解可知，it would still have been something very special indeed.与it was what happened after her adoption that people might think to be “magic”.两句之间是转折关系，所以应该用however，故选A。

8.句意：他们变得如此合拍，以至于在Gary发作癫痫之前，Tabby会告诉他，给他的家人一个警告，他要发作了。

unless除非；before在……之前；since自……以来；根据句意理解及后句one was about to strike (到达). 可知，这里表达的是“在……之前”，故选B。

9.句意：在Gary发作癫痫之前，Tabby会告诉他，给他的家人一个警告，他要发作了。

explanation解释；warning警告；suggestion建议；根据句意理解及前句They became so “in tune” with one another that Tabby began to tell Gray’s seizures ____8____ they appeared可知，这里表达的是“警告，预兆”，故选B。

10.句意：没人能解释泰比是怎么做到的。

when什么时候；why为什么；how怎么样；根据句意理解可知，文章讲述的是Tabby是一只又聋，又瞎，又老的狗，但是他却知道Gary什么时候发作癫痫，人们都不知道是怎么回事，所以这里应该用how，故选C。
