问题     My father believed that there were mysterious forces (神秘的力量) at work in the world. One day, he was lecturing me on those mysterious forces  (36)   suddenly the door opened, and a women entered,  (37)   two geese. She smiled  (38)   and looked frightened.
   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. " I was  (54)   to hear the geese shriek, but they were dead silent.   “There is always  (55)   why dead geese shriek," said my mother. "Now go home and cook them for the meal. They won’t make a sound in your pot. "
选项 A、brought
B、cost
C、wasted
D、saved
答案B
解析 考查动词辨义和上下文逻辑。空格前的主语They指代的是鹅，而空格后的宾语a fortune指“一笔钱”。由上文可知，那个女人舍不得扔掉死鹅，故选表示“花费”的动词cost最合理。其余三项都不合这一逻辑．bring指“带来，携带”；waste指“浪费”；save指“节省”。
