D. smiled 答案与解析： 16. D 根据下文可知，作者不得不给狗实施安乐死，此处是委婉的说法。本题中A项干扰性最大，heaven不能表示此处的具体动作，而应该是人们的一种信仰或者安慰的说法。 17. B 从语境可知，作者为了给狗看病已经尽了最大努力。heal意为“治愈”。本题中C项干扰性最大，ease的意思仅仅是“减轻痛苦”，不合语境。 18.
C 从语境可以看出作者的迟疑和不忍心，作者转了一大圈才最终去了兽医那儿。 19.
A 从语境可以看出作者的痛苦，眼睛里涌上了泪水。well此处用作动词当“(水等)涌上来”讲。本题中C项干扰性大，swell表示身体某个部位因为受伤而红肿。 20. D 此处表示作者的儿子尤其喜爱狗，因此especially符合逻辑。 21. A ached“疼痛的”，此处表示作者内心的痛苦。本题中D项干扰性最大，broke往往表示伤心欲绝，语气太重。 22．C 根据常识，儿子上来迎接自己的父亲，greet sb“迎接某人；跟某人打招呼”。本题中A项干扰性最大，welcome表示比较庄重的“欢迎”。 23．B 儿子问狗在哪儿，作者给儿子解释了情况。 24．A 这是作者在给儿子慢慢解释，从文章第一段可知，狗得了重病。本题中D项干扰性较大，但dead用在此处意义太突兀。 25．D 此处是作者安慰儿子的话：狗在天堂里一定很幸福。本题中A项干扰性最大，fine表示身体好或情况好，不合逻辑。 26．B 狗到了天堂就可以尽情玩耍，没有痛苦，all the time“一直；总是”符合逻辑。本题中A项干扰性较大，now and then意为“经常”，不合逻辑。 27．C 根据常识可知，孩子很小，因此脸上带着纯真无邪的笑容，相信了作者的话。本题中A项干扰性最大，lovely“可爱的”，不是文章此处强调的意义。 28．A 从下文儿子的问话知，他相信狗到了天堂，因此指着天上问。本题中C项干扰性最大，cloud意义过于具体。 29．A 此处还是应该体会作者沉重的心情，作者艰难地点了点头，manage to do sth.多表示“克服困难做了某事”，符合语境。 30．B 此处表示妻子看了一眼作者，take a look at是固定搭配“看了一眼”，其他动词不合搭配。 31．D 此处妻子很伤心，但又不想让儿子知道，因此“轻轻地”哭了起来。 32．C 从下文可知，妻子问作者儿子在什么地方。 33．C 由语境可知，儿子在扔木棍，因此在院子里到处跑来跑去。 34．B 从文章最后可知，儿子在跟天堂里的狗玩，因此把木棍扔得很高。本题中A项干扰性最大，holding表示静态动作，不合语境。 35．D 从文章最后一句可知，儿子应该是很高兴的一种心情，因此选“微笑”符合逻辑。本题中A项干扰性最大，whisper“悄悄地说”，不合逻辑。 Ⅲ.阅读理解 Luggage
