二、完形填空（10 分）
When I was a little boy, we took care of an Alsatian dog called Paddy. He lived with a family nearby. They were nice people $\underline{\quad1\quad}$ they didn't know how to take good care of a big dog. We always $\underline{\quad2\quad}$ dogs. We were famous $\underline{\quad3\quad}$ "the dog family", so they asked us for help. Every day we'd go to see Paddy. We'd give him $\underline{\quad4\quad}$, stay with him and take him out on long walks.
We enjoyed $\underline{\quad5\quad}$ hours with Paddy. We even took him to camp with us. Paddy had the kindest eyes I'd ever seen in a dog. He showed his kindness and protective nature in his behaviour (行为).
One day, I was on a swing going higher and higher. Paddy shouted $\underline{\quad6\quad}$ the swing, trying to stop me. Other people might think Paddy was bad. But we knew he was worried about me going too $\underline{\quad7\quad}$ on a swing. He was protecting me.
Those eyes seemed to get kinder and kinder. Sometimes when he looked at us, I think he was thanking us for what we did to make his life better. And we were so $\underline{\quad8\quad}$ we found his value. He made our lives better too.
As the years went by, Paddy and I grew together $\underline{\quad9\quad}$ life's sad cycle (周期) took Paddy from us. But I'll always $\underline{\quad10\quad}$ Paddy, my close friend and protector.

解析：
【分析】
做完形填空时，首先需通读全文把握主旨（本文讲述作者一家帮助邻居照顾狗Paddy，与它建立深厚感情的故事）；接着逐题分析，结合上下文语境、逻辑关系（如转折）、固定搭配、词义辨析确定答案，重点关注空前后的提示信息，理清句间逻辑。
【解析】
1. 考查连词辨析。前句“他们是好人”与后句“不会照顾大狗”为转折关系，故选B（but）。
2. 考查动词辨析。句意：我们一直养狗。keep dogs表示“饲养狗”，bought（买）、lost（丢失）、draw（画）不符合语境，故选B（kept）。
3. 考查固定搭配。be famous as是固定短语，意为“作为……而出名”，此处指我们作为“狗之家”出名，故选C（as）。
4. 考查名词辨析。句意：我们给它食物，陪它，带它散步。给狗的应是食物，故选A（food）。
5. 考查固定搭配。spend time with sb.是固定搭配，意为“花费时间和某人在一起”，enjoy后接动名词，故选D（spending）。
6. 考查介词辨析。秋千在高处，狗在下方叫，below表示“在……下方”，故选B（below）。
7. 考查形容词辨析。根据前文“秋千越来越高”，可知狗担心我荡得太高，high表示“高的”，故选A（high）。
8. 考查形容词辨析。句意：我们很高兴发现了它的价值，它也让我们的生活更好。glad表示“高兴的”，符合语境，故选D（glad）。
9. 考查连词辨析。句意：直到生活的悲伤周期带走了它，Paddy和我一起成长。till表示“直到”，故选D（till）。
10. 考查动词辨析。句意：但我会永远记得Paddy，我的亲密朋友和保护者。remember表示“记得”，故选A（remember）。
