1. (2020高二下·吉林期末) 完形填空

    After typhoon, I went to the disaster-stricken area to look after rescued animals. There I met Lucy, another 1.

    Lucy operates an animal 2 center. When I came to her website, I 3 a picture of Victor, a dog. I asked Lucy about Victor. She told me that she rescued Victor from a 4 man who'd thrown him around or put him into a tiny box. Victor had 5 on Lucy's lap for several hours while she assured him he was safe and 6 to find him a loving home.

    I decided to 7 Victor. I renamed him "Chase" for his 8 for chasing everything. Months later, Chase's love for people and his 9 nature led us to earn a therapy-dog certification and start a 10 program at the local 11.

    Kids read out to Chase to 12 their skills. Sometimes, even a kid who is 13 with reading will be comfortable doing so to a dog.

    One little girl jumped up and down when she saw Chase entering the library. Her joyful enthusiasm made me 14. When Chase greeted' her with a 15, she clapped and said, "Look, Mommy, he's bowing!" Chase gave her his undivided 16 while she read him a story. When her time was up, she signed up to read again.

    I'm grateful for everything about Chase that made this girl jump so 17. I hadn't 18 him to bow; he'd bowed naturally. I'd known the library visits would be about helping kids learn to read. But I hadn't realized what a 19 builder those visits would be for kids who were shy or didn't fit in. Chase was also a wonderful ambassador (形象大使) for dogs—teaching kids to be loving and 20 to animals.
