四、完形填空。〔人与自我——日常生活〕
Last month, I took my son Tom to see his grandparents in the countryside. His grandpa took him out to the yard to play. He looked around excitedly. He was interested in 1.
At lunch, Tom told me, “Dad, I saw a hen flying. 2!”
“Impossible!” I said without thinking. “How can a hen fly?”
“Dad, the 3 ran after the hen in the yard. Unluckily, the hen ran 4 to a corner. When she found there was no way out, she suddenly flapped(拍打) her wings and flew 5 to the roof. The hen ran away. Dad, I didn’t know hens could fly. How can 6 fly?” my child asked. I thought for a while and said, “Maybe because of 7. The hen loves her own life and that helps her fly!” Tom nodded. He seemed 8.
Last weekend, we visited Tom’s 9 again. This time I heard Tom shouting from the yard. “Dad! The dog is running after the hen again! Come and see!” I ran out of the house. The hen was running after a group of chicks, the dog followed them closely. Then the hen 10 stopped and turned around — she 11 her wings and clucked(咯咯叫) at the dog.
I ran over and got between the dog and the hen, 12 at the dog to drive it away. “Dad, 13 didn’t the hen fly away? She knows she can’t 14 the dog,” Tom asked. I thought for a while and said, “Maybe because of love. It is true that she might get hurt 15 she loves her babies more than anything else in the world.”
Tom thought for a long time and nodded. He seemed to understand.

【分析】
首先通读全文梳理故事主线：本文讲述了作者两次带儿子Tom去乡下看望祖父母，两次目睹母鸡被狗追赶的不同反应，最终引出关于生命本能与母爱的感悟。解题时第一步先把握整体叙事逻辑，第二步逐空结合上下文的前后呼应线索、词义辨析、固定搭配和语法规则逐一排除错误选项：1. 前文提到Tom兴奋地四处张望，说明他对乡下的所有事物都充满好奇，对应选合适的不定代词；2. 看到原本不会飞的母鸡飞起来，第一感受是惊奇，匹配对应形容词；3. 后文第二次场景明确提到狗追母鸡，前后呼应直接选出动物；4. 要表达母鸡一路被逼到角落的含义，匹配对应短语；5. 屋顶在高处，母鸡是向上飞上去，选对应方向副词；6. 空格在特殊疑问句中作主语，指代母鸡，选对应的主格人称代词；7. 后文明确提示母鸡热爱自己的生命，对应核心关键词love；8. 考察seem的固定用法，搭配不定式；9. 开头就点明第一次是去看祖父母，第二次是再次拜访同一对象；10. 母鸡原本在跑，之后转身停下，是突发的动作，选对应副词；11. 母鸡面对狗做出抬翅膀的动作，辨析几个动词短语的含义选出正确项；12. 要把狗赶走，对应的动作是对着狗大喊，匹配动作；13. Tom疑惑母鸡之前会飞这次却不飞，是询问原因，选疑问词why；14. 母鸡知道自己打不过狗，匹配对应动词；15. 前后句是转折关系：它可能受伤，但它更爱自己的孩子，选转折连词。
【解析】
1. 选C。前文提到Tom兴奋地四处打量乡下的院子，说明他对所有事物都感兴趣，everything表示“一切事物”；something某些事物，anything任何事物（多用于否定/疑问句），nothing没什么，均不符合语境。
2. 选B。Tom看到母鸡飞起来，觉得非常不可思议、令人惊奇，amazing意为“令人惊奇的”；dangerous危险的，perfect完美的，wonderful极好的，都不符合刚看到反常场景的第一感受。
3. 选A。后文第二次场景明确提到“The dog is running after the hen again”，前后呼应，说明第一次追母鸡的也是狗。
4. 选C。all the way是固定搭配，意为“一路上，自始至终”，这里指母鸡一路被逼到了角落；in the way挡路，in this way用这种方式，by the way顺便说一下，均不符合语义。
5. 选A。屋顶在高处，母鸡是向上飞落到屋顶上，up表示“向上”；fly off起飞，fly in飞进来，fly down飞下去，都不符合从地面往高处屋顶飞的逻辑。
6. 选C。空格在特殊疑问句中作主语，要用人称代词主格，指代母鸡用主格she，her是宾格/形容词性物主代词，him/he指代雄性动物，均不符合。
7. 选D。后文作者解释“The hen loves her own life”，对应这里的原因是爱，love符合语境；safety安全，trouble麻烦，luck运气，均和后文提示不匹配。
8. 选B。固定搭配seem to do sth. 意为“似乎要做某事，好像做了某事”，所以这里用不定式to understand。
9. 选C。文章开头就点明第一次是带Tom去乡下看祖父母，这里的again说明是再次拜访祖父母。
10. 选C。母鸡原本在被狗追着跑，突然停下转身，suddenly意为“突然地”，符合突发动作的语境；politely礼貌地，happily开心地，clearly清晰地，均不符合。
11. 选B。raised up意为“抬起，举起”，这里指母鸡抬起翅膀对着狗示威；hold up举起（物品），rise up起义/升起，roll up卷起，都不符合母鸡抬翅膀的动作描述。
12. 选D。固定搭配shout at sb. 意为“对着某人大喊”，这里作者对着狗大喊把它赶走；look at看，laugh at嘲笑，smile at对…微笑，都达不到驱赶狗的效果。
13. 选A。Tom疑惑之前遇到危险母鸡会飞，这次却不飞，是询问原因，用疑问词why“为什么”。
14. 选B。Tom知道母鸡的战斗力不足以和狗对抗，fight意为“打架，对抗”，符合语境。
15. 选D。前后句逻辑是转折：它可能会受伤，但是它爱自己的孩子胜过世界上的一切，转折连词but符合逻辑。
