Joseph, I have a very (39) problem. These dead geese, they keep shrieking (尖声叫) in such a sad voice... " (40) hearing this, my father turned pale. " (41) dead geese don’t shriek," my mother cut in. “You’ll hear for yourself," replied the woman, It is impossible to (42) what I heard. My hands grew (43) and I wanted to run from the room.
Father was no less (44) than I was. He jumped away from the table. “Joseph, what shall I do?" the woman cried." (45) ? I’m a poor woman. Two geese! They (46) me a fortune!"
Father did not know what to answer. (47) face was growing sharper and more (48) . "I want to hear it again," she said. And so for the second and the third time, the shrieks were (49) . Nobody said anything. The woman asked, "Well, I didn’t (50) it, did I?"
Suddenly my mother laughed. "Did you (51) the windpipes (气管)?" my mother asked. “The windpipes? No ..." “Let me (52) ," said Mother. She took hold of one of the geese, and pulled out the windpipe. She did the same with the other one. I was surprised by my mother’s (53) . "Now, try it again.

选项
A、action
B、courage
C、strength
D、speed
答案
B
解析
考查名词辨义和上下文理解。由于前文说明那个女人、作者父亲和作者对于死鹅发出叫声一事都感到害怕,此处作者母亲却能处理此事,显然是很有“勇气”(courage),这种勇气令作者惊讶,故本题答案为[B]。其余三项填入题中都不合上下文文意:action指“行动”,strength指“力气,力量”,speed指“速度”。
