阅读下面的短文，从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
My story began on one morning in a late autumn at a forest path's turn. As a teenager, I saw a fox(狐狸) for the first time. I had never been so close to a wild 1. With a fast-beating heart, I bravely stepped toward it. “Hey, fox!” I tried to 2 her, but she didn't move. My voice was so quiet that it felt like talking to 3. She stayed very still—very beautiful. I went back to that place many times. 4, she came again. This time, less scared(恐惧的), I greeted her louder. She ran away fast, making me want a 5 meeting—hoping then to bring her home. So I tried to find it during the following three 6. But I never saw it again until the next spring. She always ran away when I came 7. I had no choice but to watch her family from a farther place. I placed 8 outside carefully and hid. She'd look at the food first, then carry it away. After several tries, I moved a little closer—she ran 9! What surprised me further was that she slowly 10 toward me step by step, so I carried her home ... but she 11 that same day. Rushing back to the hole, I tried to get her back—then 12. I was deeply touched by what I saw. She was with her babies, who were lying 13 her peacefully, with eyes half-opening, under bright sunshine. At that moment, I understood 14 she'd run away and what I should do. My selfish(自私的) wish to keep her 15. Instead, I simply brought food and quietly spent time near them. I learnt: True love means letting it be free.

【完形填空】
文章讲述作者深秋首次在林间偶遇狐狸，多次尝试接近并想将其带回家，却屡屡被拒。直到次年春天，作者发现狐狸是为了守护幼崽，才明白真爱是放手。最终作者放弃自私想法，仅默默投喂陪伴，领悟到自由的真谛。
第5题：文中提到“第一次见面”时狐狸没动，“第二次见面”时狐狸跑了，因此作者希望的是“第三次见面”能带它回家。本题考查上下文逻辑与序数词的理解，需根据前文“first time”和“this time”推断出“第三次”，故选C。
第14题：该空后文解释“她为什么会逃跑”以及“我该做什么”，因此应选择表示原因的“why”。本题考查宾语从句引导词的选择，需理解从句内容与主句的逻辑关系，故选D。

【分析】做完形填空需先通读全文把握主旨，再逐题结合上下文语境、词义辨析、逻辑关系逐一判断。第1题根据前文提到的fox（狐狸）确定是野生动物；第2题由后文“greeted her louder”可知是问候；第3题主语为I，对应反身代词myself；第4题结合“多次去才等来狐狸”的语境选“最终”；第5题根据前文“first time、this time”推断是第三次见面；第6题从深秋到次年春天是数月时间；第7题狐狸在我靠近时逃跑，故选“更近”；第8题后文提到食物，可知放置的是食物；第9题靠近后狐狸不再逃跑；第10题狐狸慢慢走过来；第11题狐狸被带回家当天逃跑；第12题冲回洞后停下看到狐狸和幼崽；第13题幼崽躺在狐狸周围；第14题明白狐狸逃跑的原因；第15题自私的愿望消失。
【解析】1. 前文提及fox（狐狸）属于野生动物，故选B（animal）；2. 后文“this time...I greeted her louder”提示此处为“问候”，故选C（greet）；3. 主语为I，talk to oneself表示自言自语，故选D（myself）；4. 前文“went back many times”，后文“she came again”体现“最终”的结果，故选B（Finally）；5. 前文出现“first time（第一次）”“this time（第二次）”，故推断希望第三次见面，选C（third）；6. 从深秋到次年春天，时间跨度为数月，故选C（months）；7. 后文“ran away”说明狐狸在我“更近”时逃跑，故选B（closer）；8. 后文“the food first”提示放置的是食物，故选A（food）；9. 靠近后狐狸“不再”逃跑，no more表示不再，故选B；10. 狐狸是陆地动物，慢慢“走”过来，故选D（walked）；11. 被带回家当天狐狸“逃跑”，故选C（ran away）；12. 冲回洞后“停下”看到狐狸和幼崽，故选C（stopped）；13. 幼崽躺在狐狸“周围”，故选A（around）；14. 此处需引导宾语从句表示“原因”，用why，故选D；15. 自私的愿望“消失”，故选C（disappeared）。
