这是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了大约10岁时，看到一只老鼠在客厅地板上跑，随后作者的四个妹妹和爸爸都加入了打老鼠的战斗序列，当老鼠被父亲逼到绝境时，作者和四个妹妹又阻止爸爸伤害老鼠，并请求爸爸把老鼠放了，最终老鼠被放掉。爸爸第二天又买了捕鼠器。

1.考查介词短语辨析。A. at the top of my lung表达错误; B. at the top of my voices表达错误; C. at the top of my lungs 声嘶力竭; D. at the top of the voice以最大的音量。句意：我的四个小妹妹听到我声嘶力竭地尖叫，也和我一起站在沙发上。我的爸爸发现我们正站在沙发上，喊叫着，指着老鼠。由前文可知，作者大约十岁，所以看到一只老鼠，一定是很害怕，一定是声嘶力竭的尖叫。at the top of my lungs “声嘶力竭”故C选项切题。

2.考查关系副词辨析。句意：我的四个小妹妹听到我声嘶力竭地尖叫，也和我一起站在沙发上。我的爸爸发现我们正站在沙发上，喊叫着，指着老鼠。分析句子可知，couch为先行词在定语从句中作地点状语，所以关系副词为where。故D选项切题。

3.考查名词辨析。A.a trap陷阱; B.a broom扫帚; C.a stick枝条; D.a stool凳子。句意：爸爸抓起一把扫帚，到处追着那只老鼠。由下文“ He pulled the broom away...”可知，爸爸放下扫帚。所以，判断爸爸刚开始时抓起的是一把扫帚。故B选项切题。

4.考查动词辨析。A.cheering欢呼; B.urging催促; C.encouraging鼓励; D. calling打电话。句意：我们紧追不舍地跟着他，并给爸爸加油“抓住它，爸爸”。cheers sb on“为某人加油”。符合句意。故A选项切题。

5.考查动词辨析。A.caught抓; B. cornered将 ... 逼入困境 ; C.beaten敲打；D. killed杀死。句意：最后，老鼠被逼入了绝境，但是当爸爸要用扫帚打它的时候，老鼠发出了一声尖叫。由下文可知，作者和她的妹妹们乞求父亲把老鼠放了，最终老鼠被放了，所以判断出老鼠是先被逼到了绝境，才会有下文作者和妹妹们乞求放掉老鼠。故B选项切题

6.考查动词短语辨析。A.left out戒掉; B.let out发出，释放; C. sent out散发 ; D. shouted out大声喊出。句意：最后，老鼠被逼入了绝境，但是当爸爸要用扫帚打它的时候，老鼠发出了一声尖叫。由squeal“尖叫声”可知，应该是发出尖叫声。B选项切题。

7.考查数词辨析。A.five五; B. four四; C. three三; D. six六。句意：我们五个人都向我们的爸爸扑了过去。由前文“My four younger sisters heard me...”可知，我的四个妹妹加上作者五个人都扑向了爸爸。故A选项切题。

8.考查动词短语辨析。A.pulled down拉倒; B. pulled away驶离; C.pulled at用力拉; D.pulled off脱掉。句意：我们拉住了爸爸的胳膊和腿，“别伤害他。让它走！”这里表示五个孩子阻止爸爸伤害小老鼠，所以拉住了爸爸的胳膊和腿。故C选项切题。

9.考查介词短语辨析。A. in surprise惊讶地; B. in disappointment失望地; C.with pleasure高兴地;D. in defeat失败。句意：爸爸惊讶地低下头。由前文可知，父亲看到自己的孩子被老鼠吓到，发出了声嘶力竭地尖叫，所以才拿起扫帚打老鼠，当老鼠被逼到绝境了，孩子们又要求放了老鼠，所以父亲感到惊讶。故A选项切题。

10.考查动词短语辨析。A.looked at看一看; B.saw看见; C.regard认为; D. heard听见。句意：我的父亲看着我们，因为我们已经变成了小傻瓜。look at强调看的动作，这里表示父亲或者是很生气或者是很不满意。故A选项切题。
