(答案→)A【小题1】C【小题1】D【小题1】D【小题1】B
解析：
【小题1】选A。由“It is too expensive”和其后的用语“that bird”推知此处表示喂养这只鸟花了不少钱。
【小题1】选C。由“get rid of it”和后文可知，Sam想要留下那只鸟。
【小题1】选D。由后文的“a small rabbit”和第三段第四句可推知，这是一只会打猎的食肉鸟。
【小题1】选D。根据“once a famous”和后面的故事可知，现在已经很少有人知道这只鸟了。
【小题1】选B。根据“flew into the sky”可知，在此时，鸟儿张开它巨大的翅膀飞向天空。
【小题1】选B。由其后的宾语“a small rabbit”和上文可知其飞回来了，而且叨着一只小兔子。
【小题1】选C。由上文可知下一步是吃了兔子。
【小题1】选A。分析前后分句的关系可知选择连词as，表示Sam照着他爷爷那样做了一遍。
【小题1】选A。由“. . . to the ground and stood still. ”可知，鸟儿一定是坠落到地上了，因为它不准备飞行。
【小题1】选C。由后文中的“laughed again”可知，此时Sam的叔叔笑了。
【小题1】选D。根据“in late afternoon when light was less. . . ”可知选择形容词strong，表示下午的光线不太强烈。
【小题1】选B。由“in late afternoon”可知，Sam和他的叔叔应该是在晚饭前出来的。
【小题1】选B。看到“the bird caught a mouse”，他的叔叔非常惊讶。
【小题1】选D。根据“We can’t eat mice”可知，此时他的叔叔想说这只鸟是没用的。
【小题1】选B。由后文可知，他的叔叔把鸟卖给别人了，所以此时选gone，表示在Sam发现鸟不见了之前。
【小题1】选A。根据“angry”可知，两个人一定是向他的叔叔大喊大叫。
【小题1】选B。根据“wanted their money back”和“I have spent it. ”可知，他的叔叔没法还钱，看起来很忧虑，因为他的叔叔已经把钱用了。
【小题1】选B。用“point”很好地形容了叔叔无助但又拼命解释的样子。
【小题1】选D。分析前后两个分句的意思，此处选择how表示Sam将会给你们展示如何让这只鸟猎捕东西。
【小题1】选C。由最后的“. . . flew away and disappeared forever. ”可知，Sam在车里取出的是鸟。
