Another secret of animals’ survival is telepathy（心灵感应）. This sense becomes atrophied（衰退） in man, but a(n)      thought-communication functions in animals. Elsa, the lioness, frequently        when George and I intended to visit her camp, even though it        180 miles from our home in Isiolo. On most          when we made our irregular visit she was waiting for us. By following the spoor（野兽的足迹），we          that she had sometimes walked 50 or 60 miles to meet us.
The same thing        when I took Elsa’s sisters to Nairobi to be flown to the Rotterdam zoo, Elsa’s zoo. Elsa stayed behind with George in Isiolo 180 miles          . He did not know when I was coming back, no person knew. But Elsa knew. On the morning of my          she sat down at the entrance and wouldn’t make any          until I arrived in the evening.
I have known this kind of thought-communication with the animal with whom I’ve lived. When Elsa died, I woke in the night, knowing what had happened, even though I was several miles away. The same thing          later with one of Pippa’s cubs.
I don’t          this sensitivity with my own kind. Feel far more in tune with what is going on when I am in the bush than when I am in London on Nairobi. We don’t know much yet about this telepathy from which gland（腺体） it comes, or how it        . But if men could awaken or      it in themselves, and then cooperate by trusting each other,        fearing and treating one another        , the world would be a far better place.

A．sensed B．aware C．feels D．concerns

A．lay B．lies C．located D．stood

A．case B．conditions C．occasions D．situations

A．discussed B．dismissed C．discovered D．distrusted

第二节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36～55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Learning experience happens to us throughout our lives. Not long ago I had one that I would like to   36 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph   37 we realized we were   38 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new (崭新) $ 20 bill. I was so   39 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 40 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 41 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I   42 I had not actually handed any money     to the cashier (收银员). I had just 43 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience(良心) opened its mouth and swallowed(吞噬) me in one big bite. I couldn't   44 over it. I just couldn't go back to the cashier and 45 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset (不安) that I 46 to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream in   47 that someone would say “Hey, Jeff, why don't you use the 48 from the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?” I was not so 49 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 50 of the “Pizza incident”, I would say to myself “Don't think bout it ”.
I have learned two things from this   51 . Maybe I was a fool for   52 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 53 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will   54 up with you.
This reflects the saying “A coward (儒夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “55” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

Their   33   was good — they wanted to bring joy to the life of a “ 34 ”boy, but it didn’t teach me any   35   skills. Soon I would go back to having no money.
Another thing is that I believed that   36   help from others was bad.
