【解析】

本文講述了之前作者買了兩只鸚鵡，這些美麗的白色小鳥整天都在唱歌，聽起來很美。我們?yōu)樗麄儨蕚淞艘粋�大籠子，里面有玩具、鏡子、食物和水碗。因為家里有狗和貓，所以就把它們放在籠子里。有一次，喂水時，一只鸚鵡趁機飛了出來，作者明白不管籠子多好，鳥還是想飛出去。很多人都生活在自己的牢籠里。人們關閉他們的的頭腦，鎖住了心，并限制了生活。所以不要“關”住自己。

【1】句意：這些美麗的白色小鳥整天都在唱歌，聽起來很美。

sing唱歌；dance跳舞；laugh大笑；play玩；根據“which sounded beautiful”聽起來很美，故選A。

【2】句意：我們?yōu)樗麄儨蕚淞艘粋�大籠子，里面有玩具、鏡子、食物和水碗。

room房間；playground操場；pool泳池；cage籠子；根據“We couldn’t let them live freely in the house ”所以此處是買了個籠子，故選D。

【3】句意：因為我們的狗和貓。

because因為（+句子）；as a result結果；because of因為（+短語）；so that以便；根據“our dogs and cats”是名詞短語，所以用“because of”，故選C。

【4】句意：但似乎他們不知道他們是住在籠子里還是出了籠子。

care關心；see看見；know知道；question問題；根據“ two parrots also sang with excitement”鸚鵡開心地唱歌，所以此處是知道，故選C。

【5】句意：屋外各種鳥兒的歌聲充滿了空氣，兩只鸚鵡也興奮地唱著歌。

full完整；filled滿；crowded擁擠的；were是；根據“The songs of different birds outside our house ____5____ the air ”屋外各種鳥兒的歌聲 空氣，所以此處缺謂語動詞，鸚鵡文中是一般過去時，此處應該是“filled”，故選B。

【6】句意：但當我一打開門，它們中的一只飛了出來，飛向窗戶。

each每一；everyone每個人；both兩者都；one一個；根據“When my kids were young we bought them two pet parrots ”及“He crashed into the glass”所以此處是飛出來一只，故選D。

【7】句意：并把它安全地放回籠子。

quietly安靜地；safely安全地；slowly緩慢地；loudly大聲地；根據“The cats ran after him, hoping for a quick meal”貓追著他，希望能很快地吃上一頓，所以此處是安全地，故選B。

【8】句意：我為這些鸚鵡感到有些抱歉。

angry with對……生氣；afraid of對……害怕；sorry for為……感到可惜，抱歉；interested in對……感興趣；根據“I knew that no matter how comfortable their cage was, they still wanted to fly.”我知道不管籠子有多舒服，它們還是想飛，所以此處是感到可惜，抱歉。故選C。

【9】句意：它們仍然想飛。

also也；still仍然；never從不；hardly幾乎不；根據“I knew that no matter how comfortable their cage was, they ____9____ wanted to fly.”我知道不管籠子有多舒服，它們 想飛，所以此處是仍然，故選B。

【10】句意：讓自己飛!

yourself你自己；me我；them他們；themselves他們自己；根據“ Don’t just stay in your own cage then”那就別呆在自己的籠子里了，所以此處是“yourself”，故選A。

做完形填空時，首先要通讀課文，明白主旨大意，然后再做題。做完形時要記住“瞻前顧后想結果”這一原則，根據上下文以及語境做題，切忌主觀臆斷。另外，平時還要多多積累詞匯。完型填空常考名詞、動詞、形容詞和副詞等辨析。做詞義辨析題時，首先要確認四個選項的含義，然后分析語境和邏輯關系，確定答案。

本文第二題考查名詞。先確定四個詞的意思。room房間；playground操場；pool泳池；cage籠子；根據“We couldn’t let them live freely in the house ”所以此處是買了個籠子，故選D。
