阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

                              A

A priest(牧师) had a cat that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The priest persuaded, offered warm milk, et  The kitty would not come down. The tree was not strong enough to climb, so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitty. He did so, checking his progress in the car frequently, then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent enough for him to reach the kitty. But as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke.

The tree went “boing!” and the kitty at once sailed through the air —out of sight. The priest felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they’d seen his kitty. Nobody had seen a lost kitty.

So, he prayed, “God, I just give this kitty to your keeping,” and went on about his business.

Several days later he was at the grocery store, meeting one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Now this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?”

She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if God gives you a cat, you can keep it.” She told the priest, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. You won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and landed right in front of her.” 

The priest drove his car to bend the tree in order to ________. 

A. get his kitty down from the tree

B. persuade his kitty to come down

  offer the kitty some warm milk

D. see if the rope was strong enough

The underlined sentence probably means that the priest _______.

A. was happy he didn’t have to care for the kitty

B. hoped his neighbors would look after his cat

  thought his kitty might be lost or killed

D. didn’t want to see his kitty any more

Why was the priest amazed when he saw the woman had bought much cat food?

A. Because he couldn’t imagine she had her own cat.

B. Because the woman was his church member.

  Because he thought she would live on cat food.

D. Because he knew clearly she didn’t like a cat.

Which may be the best title of this passage?

A. A flying cat                            B. A lucky girl

  God sent her a cat                    D. An unlucky priest

       They parted as they did each year at the door, the Old Gentlemen going south, Pete north.

       An hour later, another ambulance brought the Old Gentleman to the same hospital.At first they thought it was also indigestion but later one of the nurses said, "That nice old gentleman over there—you wouldn't think that it was a case of hunger."
