One day a few years ago we had an uninvited guest—a sparrow.the little bird had flown into our open garage. Then Ithe bird before I saw it.
“What’s that?”I asked when I first heard the sound.
“It’s coming from the.”my wife, Anita, said. “Maybe it’s one of the little.”
I looked into the garage. No children at all. But there was that sound again, coming from right up there. And that’sI saw the sparrow. It was flyingjust inches below the ceiling. It was clearlyto get out, but couldn’t see the way out was not up, butand and out through the garage door. So the bird continued flapping its wings and bumping its little head the ceiling.
I tried to terrify it out, but only succeeded in driving it into theopen space between the door and the ceiling. Then I tried to show the bird how to fly down a few feetit could get outside, but that only seemed toit more.
“Why don’t we just leave for a few minutes,” Anita.“I’m sure he’ll figure it out eventually.”
We went back into the house, where weto hear the ongoing struggle between the sparrow and the ceiling. Then suddenly, it wasand our uninvited guest was gone.
I’vethat little sparrow through the years, and I’ve decided that birds are not different much from people. We think we wereto fly ever upward, and we don’t even consider thethat something good might happen if we just fly down a little bit. Once we figure out that we can makewithout banging（碰）our heads against ceilings, we can usually save ourselves much.

答案：
(答案→)B
解析：
【小题1】不知怎么的，这只小鸟飞进了我们开着的车库。B.不知怎么的。
【小题2】根据下文when I first heard the sound， 可知本句的意思是“未见其鸟，先闻其鸣”。
【小题3】根据所在的句子可知， 小鸟进入了garage,所以声音应该从garage传来。
【小题4】根据下文no children at all.可知, 作者的妻子认为是期中一个孩子
【小题5】when引导表语从句。“就在那时我看到了那只麻雀。”
【小题6】anxiously不安的，焦虑的。因为被困，所以很焦虑。
【小题7】try to get out努力要出去。
【小题8】但是它看不到出去的路不在上方，而在下方。
【小题9】bump its little head against the ceiling 小脑袋撞击天花板
【小题10】门和天花板之间的空间很小。
【小题11】so that 引导目的状语从句。
【小题12】但是这样似乎使它更害怕。Frighten sb使某人害怕， 吓唬某人
【小题13】why don’t sb do 是表示建议的用语。 所以选择A。
【小题14】continue to do sth继续干某事
【小题15】根据下文our uninvited guest was gone， 所以没有声音了，很安静
【小题16】Ａ．照看Ｂ．担心 Ｃ．思考Ｄ． 提出。下文题到“鸟和人没有什么不同”，所以作者是在思考。
【小题17】be born to do 天生就是干某事的。 “我们认为我们天生就是往上飞的”
【小题18】我们甚至没有考虑这种可能性，如果我们飞的低一些，好事也可能会发生。
【小题19】make progress取得进步
【小题20】save some trouble 省去很多麻烦。
