Friday 完形填空
澳大利亚斗牛犬乔托虽与主人最初期待的宠物类型不同，但凭借对滑板的热爱和自身毅力，在主人的帮助下成为优秀的滑板犬。即便因健康问题失去了一只眼睛，它也没有放弃，如今正冲击两项吉尼斯世界纪录。
1. D 由前句 Now, this one-eyed dog is trying to chase two Guinness World Records. 可知，乔托在冲击吉尼斯世界纪录。100 m sprint 的核心是“速度最快”。
2. A 句意为“格雷格和丹尼在 70 岁时，本想养一只温顺安静的宠物”。when 意为“当……的时候”，符合语境。
3. C 由句首的 But 可知，乔托的性格和 calm（温顺安静的）相反。active 意为“活泼好动的”，符合语境。
4. D 结合语境可知，此处应是“乔托第一次看到人们滑滑板”。saw 是 see 的过去式，意为“看见”，符合语境。heard（听见）、cleaned（清理）、made（制作）均不符合语境。
5. A buy sth for sb 是固定搭配，意为“为某人买某物”。
6. D 由前句“乔托立刻跳了上去，但是直接冲进了排水沟”以及本句中 kid’s skateboards aren’t built for dogs’ paws 可知，这对夫妇意识到“儿童滑板不适合狗狗的爪子”。realise 意为“意识到”，符合语境。
7. A 前句提到儿童滑板不合适狗狗的爪子，所以格雷格做了一块新的适合乔托的滑板。new 意为“新的”，符合语境。
8. C 句意为“它还在 TikTok 上拥有 70 000 多名粉丝”。have 意为“有”，符合语境。
9. B 由第一段第二句 Now, this one-eyed dog... 以及本句中 had a health problem 可知，此处指乔托生病后失去了一只眼睛。lose 意为“失去”，符合语境。
10. C 由 His skateboarding is as good as before, and maybe even 可知，此处表示递进，故填 better，指它失去一只眼睛后，它的滑板技术和以前一样棒，甚至可能更好了。
难句分析
His skateboarding is as good as before, and maybe even better. 它的滑板技术和以前一样棒，甚至更好了。
as good as 是 as... as 结构，中间接形容词或副词原形，意为“和……一样……”。maybe even better 意为“甚至可能更好”。

【分析】
做完形填空时，首先通读全文把握主旨（一只叫Giotto的狗狗成为滑板犬冲击吉尼斯世界纪录的励志故事）；再逐空分析，结合上下文提示词、词义辨析、固定搭配、逻辑关系（如转折、时间）确定答案，注意前后文呼应，比如前文的“Guinness World Records”“one-eyed dog”等提示，以及转折词“but”、固定搭配“buy sth for sb”等的运用。
【解析】
1. D：由前文“chase two Guinness World Records”可知，冲击纪录的核心是速度，100米冲刺需选“fastest（最快的）”，符合语境。
2. A：句意为“格雷格和丹尼在70岁时想养一只安静的宠物”，when表示“当……的时候”，符合时间语境。
3. C：由句首“but”可知，此处与前文“calm（安静的）”形成转折，active（活泼的）符合狗狗的性格特点。
4. D：结合语境，此处指Giotto第一次“看到”人们滑滑板，saw（see的过去式）符合语义，heard（听见）、cleaned（清理）、made（制作）均不符合。
5. A：固定搭配“buy sth for sb”意为“为某人买某物”，此处指为Giotto买滑板，故选for。
6. D：由前文Giotto冲进排水沟可知，夫妇“意识到”儿童滑板不适合狗爪，realised（意识到）符合语境。
7. A：因儿童滑板不合适，格雷格做了一块“新的”适合Giotto的滑板，new符合语义。
8. C：句意为“它在TikTok上拥有7万多粉丝”，had（拥有）符合语境，其他选项不符合。
9. B：由前文“one-eyed dog”和“health problem”可知，此处指Giotto生病后“失去”了一只眼睛，lost符合。
10. C：由“as good as before（和以前一样好）”和“even（甚至）”可知，此处表递进，better（更好的）符合语义。
