Question

One day, four lawyers were riding along a country road. There had been a(n)  36 , and the ground was soft. The lawyers rode  37 , talking and laughing. As they were passing through a  38 , they heard some noises in the grass.

“What’s the matter here?” asked one man.

“Oh, it’s only some old robins (知更鳥)!” said another one, “The  39  has blown them out of the nest. They are too young to  40  .”

“What a  41  ! They’ll die,” said the third one.

“Well! They’re nothing but  42  ,” said the first lawyer.

The three men looked down and saw the mother robin  43  to her mates. Then they rode on, talking and laughing as before. In a few minutes they had  44  the birds. But the fourth lawyer, whose name was Abraham Lincoln,  45  . He got down from his  46  and gently took the little ones up. They didn’t seem  47 , but chirped (唧唧叫) softly, as if they knew they were safe.

“Never  48 , my little fellows,” said Mr. Lincoln. Then he looked up to find the nest from which they had  49 . It was much higher than he could reach. But Mr. Lincoln could  50 . He put the birds softly, one by one, into their warm home.

In a few minutes, Mr. Lincoln  51  the others. He had torn his coat on the thorny (多刺的) tree. Then all three of them  52  heartily. They thought it so   53  that a strong man should take so much trouble just for some worthless young birds.

“Gentlemen,” said Mr. Lincoln, “I couldn’t have  54  tonight if I had left those helpless robins to die in the  55  grass.”

Abraham Lincoln afterwards became President of America.

1.D 上下文串聯。根據下文描述可知下雨了，鄉村的路上很軟，都是泥巴。

2..C 副詞辨析。A鎮定地B緊張地C慢慢地D頻繁地；地上很軟，都是泥巴，所以他們騎馬很慢。

3.A 上下文串聯。根據下文可知知更鳥是生活在樹上的，所以他們經過的是一片森林。故A正確。
