问题     My new pet was the most【C1】________ bird to look at, with his horrible yellow 【C2】________ pushing through the wrinkled scarlet skin typical of baby pigeons.【C3】________ his repulsive and obese appearance Larry suggested we【C4】________ him Quasimodo.
    Because of his unorthodox upbringing, and the fact【C5】________ he had no parents to teach him the facts of life, Quasimodo became【C6】________ that he was not a bird
【C7】________ and refused to fly.【C8】________ he walked everywhere. If he wanted to get on to a table, or a chair, he stood below it,【C9】________ until someone lifted him up. He was always eager to join us in【C10】________ we did, and would even try to come for walks with us. This, however, we had to stop, for either you carried him on your shoulder, which was【C11】________ an accident to your clothes, or you let him walk【C12】________ . Then you had to【C13】________ your pace to suit his,【C14】________ you get too far ahead you would hear the most frantic and【C15】________ coos.
    Quasimodo【C16】________ on sleeping in the house: nothing could【C17】________ him to sleep in the pigeon-loft I had made for him. Then Larry discovered that Quasimodo was a musical pigeon. Not only did he like music, but he【C18】________ seemed to recognize two different【C19】________ , the waltz and the military march. For a waltz he would move round and round the gramophone, bowing and twisting, while for a march, he would stamp【C20】________ the room, his voice becoming so rich that he seemed in danger of strangling himself.
【C13】
选项 A、put down
B、slow down
C、cut down
D、draw up
答案B
解析 本题考点为词义辨析。人的步速远高于鸽子，要让鸽子跟得上人的脚步，人必须减速。A选项put down意为“放下”；B选项slow down意为“减速”；C选项cut down意为“缩减”；D选项draw up意为“草拟，(使)停下来”。只有B选项符合句意。本句大意为：那么为了能让它跟上你，你只好放慢脚步来迁就它。
