Question

 There were still six miles to walk,and I came along as fast as I could. The night grew darker and darker，and I wished for my 1 ，because I knew that some of the bears had come out of their winter caves. I had seen their 2 when I went to town in the morning.

  Bears are hungry and cross at this time of year;you know they have been 3in their caves all winter long with nothing to eat，and that makes them thin and hungry when they wake up. I did not want to meet 4 .

  I hurried 5 as quickly as I could in the dark. By and by the stars gave a little light. It was still black as pitch(漆黑的)6 the woods were thick, 7 in the open places I could see dimly(朦胧地).I was 8 when I came into an open place where the stars gave me this faint light.

  All the time I was 9 ，as well as I could, for bears. I was listening for the sounds they make when they go 10 through the bushes.

  Then I came11 into an open place，and there，right in the middle of the road，I saw a big，black bear.

He was standing up on his hind legs,looking at me. I could see his eyes12 I could see his pig snout( 口鼻部).I could even see one of his claws, in the starlight.

  My13 stood straight up. I stopped in my tracks, and stood still. The bear did not move. There he stood, looking at me.

  I knew it would do no good to try to go around him. He would follow me into the dark woods, where he could see 14 than I could.

  I had to pass that bear,to get home. I thought that I could 15 him,he might get out of the road and let me go. So I took a deep16，and suddenly I shouted with my strength and ran at him,waving my 17 He didn't move.

At last I looked around，and I got a solid heavy branch that had been broken from a tree by the weight of 18 in the winter.

  I lifted it up in my hands,and ran straight at that bear. I swung(挥舞)my branch as 19 as I could and brought it down. Bang!On his head.

  And 20 he still stood, for he was nothing but a big,black, burned stump(树桩)！

5. B根据文章开头可知作者是"在黑暗中赶路"。along表"前去"的意思。

6. C这里where引导的是地点状语从句，表示"在树林茂密的地方，仍然漆黑一片。"

7. A上文交代作者赶路时漆黑一片，下文又说"能朦胧地看见东西了"。此处两者之间显然需要一个转折连词，所以用but最合适。
