试题分析：文章大意：极度干旱的季节，农田里的庄稼几乎就要干旱而死。在这个季节最炎热的一天，作者的儿子比利不顾炎热，一次次从家里取来水去拯救一只因干渴而即将死亡的小鹿。儿子的行为感动了作者，似乎也感动了老天，天终于下雨了，庄稼也有救了。

1.解析：从前面的the hottest days of the dry season可知，一个月没有下雨了。

2.解析：每天，我和我丈夫忙着浇地。go about 着手做，忙于某事；take over接管；try on试穿；seek out找出。

3.解析：除非我们看到下雨，否则我们就会失去一切。unless“除非”。

4.解析：从后文中儿子为小鹿送水，和小鹿一起分享水源，可以推测出用sharing。

5.解析：miracle“奇迹”；lesson“教训”；wildlife“野生动物”；virtue“美德”。从后文可知儿子用一点点的水救活了小鹿，并且天也下了雨，故是个奇迹。

6.解析：从后文的He was walking with effort可知，这里是他向树林走去。

7.解析：从后文知，这里他费力地走着，尽量身体不动。从后文可知，儿子去树林时，手里拿着水，因此走起来很小心，怕把水弄洒了。still“不动的”；silent“沉默的”；secret“秘密的”；sacred“神圣的”。

8.解析：前面说他向树林走去。这里说，几分钟后，他消失在树林里。

9.解析：前文说，儿子消失在树林里，又跑了回来，下文又说“我”去做三明治，显然认为儿子的任务已经完成。think“认为”；wonder“想知道”；worry“担心”。calculate计算。

10.解析：这里上下文构成转折关系，原以为儿子的任务完成了，没想到他又回到了树林里。故用however。

11.解析：最后我禁不住要跟着他。finally“最后，终于”。

12.解析：sign“迹象，符号”；scenery“景色”；sight“视野，视力”；scene“场面，场景”。我忍不住跟踪他并且目睹了令人惊讶的一幕。

13.解析：scream“尖叫”；rush“奔跑”；burst“爆发”。我差点尖叫着喊他离开。

14.解析：mildly“温顺地”；powerfully“强大有力地”；dangerously“危险地”；aggressively “有攻击性的”。这里指一只大鹿距他近得很危险。

15.解析：前文看出作者的担心，这里表示转折，但是当Billy跪下时那只鹿一动也没动。

16.解析：前文提到天气干旱无雨，后文也提到给小鹿喝水。这里的意思是“我看见一只小鹿躺在地上，显然是渴坏了”。

17.解析：从Billy ran back to get more.可知，这里是水喝光了。gone“没有了，喝光了”。只有当表示“丢失了”这个意思时，gone才可以相当于lost, missing。

18.解析：作者明白了一切。

19.解析：作者看到了善良的儿子挽救了一个生命。

20.解析：当我感动的眼泪落在地上时，天突然下起了雨，好像上帝感动得哭了。那场雨救了我们的农场就像一个小男孩救了另一个生命。weep哭泣；chant咏唱。
