四、(2025·南京阶段练习)完形填空。
When Nathan Winograd said that he was leaving his job as a lawyer(律师)to manage an animal shelter(动物收容所), his father looked at him for a long time. Then he said, “What do dogs and cats need a 1. for?”
He shouldn't have been so 2. . Winograd has been helping sick or 3. animals since he was a boy. Walking home after school when he was 16, he found a 4. walking slowly in the street. He named it Guido, and later, when Winograd and his family moved east, Guido came along with them.
The move meant giving up a big house, eight weeks' vacation and an office with a beautiful view, and 5. to an area known for its cold winters. His wife, Jennifer, also an animal lover, was all for it. 6. they, with two children, plus two dogs, Guido and a group of other cats Winograd had saved, drove across the country.
Now they try their best to let people see the animals. News in local newspapers and on TV and the Internet carries photos of possible pets. Adoption(收养)centres are 7. seven days a week, including evenings, so people who work have time to get there. Inside, they put the 8. cats and dogs in the back and put the older, less lovely animals up front. And they are glad to find that this way works.
“And guess 9. ?” he says. “People often fall in love with the ones they first see and take them.”
Today Winograd is helping to 10. thousands, even millions of animals. Winograd believes that every change brings us closer to a better world for animals.

【分析】
做完形填空首先要通读全文，把握文章核心主旨：本文讲述了前律师Nathan Winograd放弃优渥的工作，转行经营动物收容所、救助流浪动物的故事。解题时不要孤立看单个句子选答案，要依托上下文给出的身份提示、前后呼应的细节、逻辑关系线索逐一排除错误选项：首先抓住开头提到的Nathan原本的律师身份，对应第一空的线索；再结合后文提到的他从小救助动物、举家搬迁、收容所运营规则等细节，找到对应空的提示信息，比如第8空后文出现的older，直接对应前文要填的反义词，还有固定口语搭配guess what这类常识点，就能顺理成章选出所有正确答案。
【解析】
1. 前文明确提到Nathan原本的职业是律师，父亲听到他辞掉律师工作去管理动物收容所，发出疑问“猫狗需要律师做什么？”，选C.lawyer，其余选项访客、科学家、医生均不符合前文给出的身份线索。
2. 后文介绍Winograd从小就一直帮助动物，说明他父亲本不该对他的选择如此惊讶，选D.surprised，其余选项兴奋、生气、难过均不符合语境逻辑。
3. 他从少年时期就帮助生病或者无家可归的动物，救助的对象是处境困难的动物，选B.homeless，其余选项昂贵的、可爱的、好看的都不属于需要救助的动物属性。
4. 后文第二段明确提到“Guido and a group of other cats Winograd had saved”，说明Guido是他早年救下的猫，对应16岁那年他在街上遇到的是一只猫，选B.cat。
5. 这次搬家意味着放弃大房子、八周假期和景观办公室，搬到以寒冬闻名的区域，move to是固定搭配表示“搬到某地”，选D.moving，其余选项引领、转向、旅行均不符合语义。
6. 前文提到妻子本身也是动物爱好者，完全支持他的决定，和后文“他们带着两个孩子、两只狗、Guido和其他救下的猫横穿国家”是因果顺承关系，选D.So。
7. 后文提到这样上班的人也有时间前往收养中心，说明收养中心一周七天都开放，包含晚间时段，选D.open，其余选项免费、满员、关闭均不符合语境。
8. 后文提到“把年纪更大、没那么可爱的动物放在前面”，前后形成反义对应，说明是把年轻的猫狗放在后面，选C.young。
9. 口语常用固定搭配guess what，意思是“你猜怎么着”，用来引出下文的内容，选B.what。
10. 全文都围绕Winograd救助动物的事迹展开，此处表示他如今正帮助拯救成千上万甚至数百万的动物，选A.save。
