I once knew a man who was rich in his love for birds, and in their love for him . He lived in a grove full of all kinds of trees. He had no wife or children in his home. He was an old man with blue and kind eyes, and a voice that the birds loved.
While he was at work in the grove, the birds came close to pick up the worms(蠕蟲) in the fresh earth he dug up. At first, they kept their distance from him, but they soon found he was a kind man, and would not hurt them, but liked to have them near him.
They knew this by his kind eyes and voice, which tell what is in the heart. So, day by day their faith in his love grew in them.
All the birds of the grove were soon his fast friends. They were on the watch for him, and would fly down from the green tree tops to greet him with their chirp(嘰嘰喳喳叫).
When he had no work to do, he took bread with him, and dropped the pieces on the ground. Down they would dart(俯衝) on his head and feet to catch them as they fell from his hand.
He showed me how they loved him, He put a piece of bread in his mouth, with one end of it out of his lips, Down they came like bees at a flower, and flew off with it piece by piece,
When they thought he slept too long in the morning, they would fly in and_____________.

【分析】這 是一篇記敘文.翻譯：我曾認識一位非常愛鳥、鳥也很喜歡他的老人，他住在有著各種各樣樹木的果樹林裡.他沒有妻子，也沒有孩子.他有著藍色的和藹的眼睛和 小鳥都喜歡的嗓音.當他在果樹林裡勞作的時候，小鳥就來吃地裡的蟲子.起初，小鳥和他保持一定距離.小鳥後來發現這位老人不傷害它們，並喜歡它們和他靠 近.小鳥通過老人的眼神和嗓音瞭解了他.慢慢地他們的信任在心中種植下來.很快這些小鳥成為了老人的親密朋友.小鳥為他守望，還會從樹上衝下來嘰嘰喳喳問 候老人.當他不幹活的時候，他就會拿著麵包去餵它們，他把麵包片含在嘴裡，一頭露在嘴外，小鳥就像蜜蜂在花朵上採蜜一樣，含著麵包片飛走了.當小鳥認為老 人睡得太長的時候，它們就會飛進來嘰嘰喳喳地叫醒他.它們跟著他去教堂，當老人唱讚美詩的時候，它們就在樹上唱它們自己的讚美詩.小鳥的信任和愛是他一生中的樂趣.
【解答】38.C 根據句子“At first，they kept their distance from him，but they soon found he was a kind man，and would not hurt them，but liked to have them near him.”可知小鳥起初對老人瞭解少，所以選C
39.D 根據句子“They knew this by his kind eyes and voice，which tell what is in the ，day by day their faith in his love grew in the
m”上下句邏輯，faith的意思應是“信任”，所以選D
40.B 根據句子“When they thought he slept too long in the morning，they would fly in and…”上下句邏輯，前面說睡覺，所以下面應是叫醒他，故選B
41.C 文中講的是他如何對待小鳥以及小鳥後來如何對他，說的是互相而不是一方，所以答案應是C.
【點評】做閱讀理解，首先瀏覽一遍題目，看清題目要求，若是理解細節，要有選擇性地在文中找出相應的段落句子或短語，認真分析理解，選出正確答案.選句子補全文章這類題，要弄清上下句意思邏輯關係，然後作答.
