C. Answer the questions.
Mrs White bought a parrot from a pet shop. But she wanted to give the parrot back to the shop the next day.
“He doesn’t talk,” she told the shopkeeper.
“Parrots love looking at themselves in a mirror,” the keeper said. She bought a mirror and put it in the cage.
The day after the next, she came back again, saying that the parrot still didn’t talk.
“How about a ladder? Parrots love hopping on a ladder,” the shopkeeper suggested. She bought a wooden ladder. But again she was back at the pet shop.
“Does your parrot have a swing? No? Well, if he starts swinging, he’ll talk a lot,” the shopkeeper said. Mrs White then bought a swing and fixed it inside the cage.

Finally, she walked into the shop. She cried sadly, “The parrot has died.”
The shopkeeper felt surprised. “I’m sorry to hear that. Tell me if he had ever said something before he died,” he asked.
“Yes,” Mrs White answered, “he asked me in a low voice, ‘5’”
1. What pet did Mrs White want to keep?
2. Why did she give the parrot back to the pet shop the next day?
3. The mirror and ladder didn’t help the parrot talk, did they?
4. How did the shopkeeper feel to know the parrot had died?
5. What did the parrot probably(可能) say before he died?

先通读短文梳理故事脉络:怀特夫人买了鹦鹉,因鹦鹉不说话,按店主建议先后购买镜子、梯子、秋千,均未让鹦鹉说话,最终鹦鹉死亡。针对每个问题,回到原文定位对应信息:1题问想养的宠物,从原文首句提取;2题问归还鹦鹉的原因,从原文第二段找;3题是反义疑问句,需结合原文实际情况回答;4题问店主感受,从原文直接提取;5题需结合怀特夫人只买玩具未买食物的细节,合理推测鹦鹉的话。

5. 结合全文,怀特夫人仅给鹦鹉买了镜子、梯子、秋千,未买食物,鹦鹉最终死亡,合理推测鹦鹉可能问与食物相关的内容,故答案为Does the shop sell any (bird) food? /I am too hungry. /I haven't eaten anything for days. (Any reasonable answer is acceptable.)
