Question

This farmhouse had been  32  too long. It needed a family. Zigfried’s  33  made a noise. He realized that he hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday. He jumped from the windowsill (窗沿), grabbed a  34  from his home, and went next door to Farmer Mike’s.
Farmer Mike’s house had been a great place for the little mouse  35  the farmer married a wife who had a cat. Zigfried  36  when he thought of it. He looked around cautiously as he 37  into the room where grain was stored and was quite  38  as he filled his bag with wheat. He was turning to leave when suddenly he  39  a hot breath about his ear. His heart beat  40  , and without thinking he started to run and luckily  41  the cat’s paws (爪子).
The next afternoon Zigfried heard some good news: a  42  family would be moving into the farmhouse soon. Zigfried’s granny would arrive on Christmas Eve to  43 with him. He hoped that the family would come before his granny came. Before long, a car came  44  the road leading to the house, with butter sandwiches, cheese and chocolate.
Zigfried’s Christmas miracle did arrive!
The house came  45  the next few days. Zigfried  46  every single hour of them.  47 , the day before Christmas when he was drinking hot chocolate with a  48  smile at the door of his home, he heard the  49 of the children of the family about what they might get for Christmas. What? A cat? The  50  froze on his face； his mouth fell wide open. After a long while, he at last found his voice: “Hey! Whose Christmas miracle is this?”

解析文章大意：記敘文。以擬人的方式，記敘了Zigfried這只老鼠看到搬了一家新人來，圣誕過十分滿意，卻不知自己成了別人的圣誕禮物。
【小題1】還是沒有人來，今天還是有希望，在圣誕節(jié)來臨前，還有奇跡的發(fā)生，carefully“小心地”； excitedly“高興地”hopefully“有希望地”；proudly“自豪地”。
【小題2】根據(jù)后面：It needed a family“這房子需要一個(gè)家”可知，這房子空多時(shí)了。shabby“破舊的；破敗的；破爛的”；noisy“嘈雜的；喧鬧的”；messy“凌亂的，散亂的”；empty“空的，空虛的，空洞的”。
【小題3】根據(jù)本句后面的：He realized that he hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday.“他意識(shí)到從昨天他沒有吃任何東西�！笨芍�，肚子餓了，故選C。
【小題4】肚子餓了，他從窗臺(tái)上跳了起來，從他的家抓起一個(gè)口袋，到農(nóng)民邁克家去。同時(shí)下文有提示：···38  as he filled his bag with wheat.
【小題5】麥克的房子對(duì)這只小老鼠來說是一個(gè)好地方，直到農(nóng)民農(nóng)民娶了妻子，這個(gè)女人有一只貓。although“盡管；雖然”；until“到…為止，在…以前”；whereas“但是，然而”unless“除非”。
【小題6】麥克的妻子養(yǎng)一只貓，貓是老鼠的天敵。故當(dāng)Zigfried聽到這就顫抖。
【小題7】所以當(dāng)他潛入房間時(shí)，他環(huán)顧四周，小心翼翼。break“打破；折斷”；march“前進(jìn)，行軍”；pace“踱步，走來走去”；steal“偷，偷偷地行動(dòng)，秘密、不顯明地行動(dòng)”。
【小題8】由于對(duì)貓的害怕，當(dāng)Zigfried裝小麥時(shí)都十分不安。curious“好奇的, 好求知的”； nervous“不安的”pitiful“令人憐憫的，使人同情的”；sensible“明智的，合乎情理的”。
【小題9】它感覺到他的耳邊灼熱的呼吸。貓來了。
【小題10】貓來了，它的心跳加速。strongly“強(qiáng)烈地，堅(jiān)強(qiáng)地”； irregularly“不規(guī)則地”；slowly“緩慢地，慢吞吞地”；wildly“瘋狂地，失去控制地”。
【小題11】貓來了，來不及想，跑，慶幸的是，逃出了貓的爪子。escape“逃脫”；seize“抓住”；rub“擦，摩擦”；scratch“擦，刮”。
【小題12】第二天下午，Zigfried聽到一些好消息：一個(gè)新家要搬到這個(gè)空房子了。
【小題13】Zigfried的奶奶也會(huì)在平安夜來與它一起慶祝。celebrate“慶祝；歌頌”； communicate“交流”；compete“競賽，競爭”；compromise“妥協(xié)”。
【小題14】不久，一輛車出現(xiàn)在公路上，come across“偶遇，偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)”；come from“來自某處；出生于”； come off“成功，達(dá)到效果”； come up“出現(xiàn)”。
【小題15】空房子搬了人家，故又恢復(fù)了活力。alive“活潑的，有生氣的”；loose“松的，寬的”；open“敞開的，開著的”；still“不動(dòng)的，靜止的”。
【小題16】空房子搬了人家，故又恢復(fù)了活力，所以它享受著這每一分鐘。
【小題17】但當(dāng)它聽一聽到孩子們的討論時(shí)，它的微笑僵在臉上了，中間表轉(zhuǎn)折。故用However。
【小題18】當(dāng)他帶著滿意的微笑喝著熱巧克力時(shí)，故用satisfied“滿意的”。
【小題19】它聽到了孩子們的討論，可得到什么樣的圣誕禮物時(shí)。Introduction“介紹”；discussion“討論”comment“評(píng)論”；debate“爭論”。
【小題20】什么？一只老鼠？笑容僵在臉上了。同時(shí)前面有提示：···with a  48  smile ····
