【分析】
首先通读全文,明确文章讲述的是Jack想和花园大树上的小鸟成为朋友,在爸爸的帮助下最终成功的故事。解题时需结合每个空格前后的语境,抓住句子间的逻辑关系来匹配选项:
1. 空格前提到花园里有一棵大树,空格后说Jack喜欢坐在树下看鸟,由此可推断空格处应介绍树上有鸟,引出下文的小鸟;
2. 空格前说小鸟飞下来找食物,空格后说Jack靠近前小鸟就飞走,说明Jack看到小鸟会跑过去,这是小鸟飞走的原因;
3. 空格前爸爸说要帮Jack成为小鸟的朋友,空格后提到树屋,所以此处应是爸爸为Jack做了树屋;
4. 空格后有转折词“But”,且提到“soon they weren't”,结合下文“知道Jack没有危险”,可知空格处是说小鸟一开始害怕Jack;
5. 空格前说Jack给小鸟留食物,空格后说他们成为好朋友,所以此处应是小鸟现在喜欢和Jack在树屋玩耍,承接前文并引出结果。
【解析】
1. 第1空:前文指出花园里有一棵大树,后文描述Jack喜欢坐在树下观察小鸟,空格处需衔接大树和小鸟的关系,选项A“Some beautiful birds lived in it.”(一些漂亮的鸟住在里面)符合语境,故选A。
2. 第2空:前文提到小鸟飞下来找食物,后文说Jack靠近前小鸟就飞走,说明Jack看到小鸟会跑向它们,选项D“When Jack saw this, he always ran to the birds.”(当Jack看到这个,他总是跑向小鸟)能合理衔接前后内容,故选D。
3. 第3空:前文爸爸表示要帮Jack成为小鸟的朋友,后文提到树屋在树枝上,选项E“He spent a few days making a tree house for Jack.”(他花了几天时间给Jack做了一个树屋)符合爸爸帮助Jack的具体行为,故选E。
4. 第4空:后文有转折词“But”,且“soon they weren't”指代前文的状态,结合下文“小鸟知道Jack没有危险”,可知一开始小鸟害怕Jack,选项C“The birds were afraid of Jack at first.”(一开始小鸟害怕Jack)符合逻辑,故选C。
5. 第5空:前文说Jack给小鸟留食物,后文提到他们成为好朋友,选项F“Now the birds liked to play with Jack in his tree house.”(现在小鸟喜欢和Jack在他的树屋里玩耍)承接前文的友好行为,引出最终成为朋友的结果,故选F。
