题文
One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety. In fact, this uninvited guest was a bird--- a(n) __1__, to be more precise(精确地).
“What’s that?” I asked when I first heard the thump(重击声). “It sounds like Joe is outside playing basketball,” my wife, Anita, said. She paused and __2__ more devotedly. “It’s coming from the __3__.” she said. “Maybe it’s one of the little __4__”.
We rushed out the door. Jonathan, our youngest, was easy to make __5__. “If he’s making holes in the wall again…” I said as I searched there. No children at all. But there was that __6_ again, coming from right up there.
And that’s when I __7__ the sparrow. It was flying __8__ just inches below the ceiling. It was clearly trying to __9__, but couldn’t see that the way out wasn’t up, but down and out through the open _10__. So the bird continued beating its wings and hitting its head against the __11__.
“Poor thing,” Anita said. “It must be __12__.”
“Well, maybe it’s because of me,” I said as I moved toward it. I tried to show the bird how to glide (滑翔) down a few feet so it could get outside, __13__ that only seemed to frighten it more.
“Why don’t we just __14__?” Anita suggested. “I’m sure he’ll __15__ eventually.”
So we went back into the house, where we continued to hear the ongoing struggle. Then suddenly, it was __16__. We looked into the garage, and our uninvited guest was __17__.
“See?” Anita said. “I told you he would make it.”
“Yeah,” I said. “But how many knocks on the head did it __18__ him?”
I’ve thought about that little sparrow through the years. Just like that sparrow, we often meet situations we don’t know how to __19__. Born to go upward, we don’t __20__ consider the possibility that something good might happen if we stop flapping(拍打) around and just glide down a little bit.

解析
文章讲述的是一只被困在车库里的麻雀,刚开始由于习惯思维的关系找不到出口,最终飞出了车库,让作者联想到了人的相同情况,有时候改变一下思路,改变一下思维方式,很多问题可能就会马上解决。小题1:上下文。根据42空可知,是一只麻雀
小题2:上下文。根据上一句,it sounds like Joe is ...是作者的妻子听到了响声,所以此处是更专心地听。
小题3:上下文。根据51空后面,we looked into the garage可知,声音是发自车库的。
小题4:上下文。根据下一段40空,可知他们原以为使他们的孩子发出的声音
小题5:上下文。根据 “If he's making holes in the wall again"可知,他们的孩子会制造麻烦。
小题6:上下文,根据第二段和此处的again可知,指的是上文提到的响声
小题7:动词辨析。意为我发现了那个麻雀。根据后文可知,作者让麻雀自己飞走,所以不能选D, A回忆,B意识到,不符合句意
小题8:上下文。麻雀飞不出去,所以是很焦急的。
小题9:同上
小题10:文章理解。麻雀要想飞出车库只能从门那出去,别的讲不通
小题11:上下文。 根据43空后面的below the ceiling可知
小题12:文章理解。因为麻雀飞不出去,所以麻雀会感到害怕,恐惧。
小题13:意为我试图告诉它如何低飞一点,这样就可以出去了,但是它看起来更害怕了。
小题14:上下文。很据下一段so we went back into the house,可知,他们回到了屋子里,离开了车库
小题15:上下文,根据52空后面,I told you he would make it 可知,make it 成功。
小题16:句意理解。根据后文可知麻雀飞出去了,所以没有了原来的响声,变得安静了
小题17:同51,麻雀飞走了
小题18:cost 以……为代价。 意为它飞出去是以多少次的(头部)撞击为代价?
小题19:词组 deal with 处理
小题20:意为,天生就知道向上,我们甚至都不考虑向下的可能性。
