二、完形填空(共 15 小题;每小题 1 分,计 15 分)
My dad had travelled many miles to visit me. Dad stayed a month and I was busy in the library those weeks. He liked to
1 my dog, Dustin. I always reminded him to lock all the doors before he left. I did not tell him that the two young men next
2 were troublemakers. They had been known to throw their mother out of the front door and steal her money.
I got home one
3 Tuesday. It worried me that my dad might feel too hot on his walk, however, no, he was
4 than usual. His eighty-year-old face shone with excitement. “You'll
5 guess what happened to me today,” he said. “It could have been unlucky, but it worked out
6. I locked myself out.”
“Oh, Dad, you should have called
7,” I said.
“I didn't take the phone with me,” he went on. “I was
8 because by the time we got home, Dustin was really thirsty. Luckily, those
9 young men from next door helped me get
10.”
I almost got up from my chair to
11 the gold and my jewelry box. Dad always left a pile of dollars and coins
12 the table in the bedroom and that door was wide open. I noticed that the
13 was still there.
“After we got in, I gave the dog a
14, then I made a pot of tea. Those young men and I sat and talked for a bit here in the kitchen.”
I later found
15 missing from my house. Dad was pleased that he had solved the problem. The remaining time of Dad's vacation went quickly. Many times I went out in the yard to watch him chatting with his new friends. The locked door wasn't the only thing opened that day.
