【解析】

試題分析：文章大意：極度干旱的季節(jié)，農田里的莊稼幾乎就要干旱而死。在這個季節(jié)最炎熱的一天，作者的兒子比利不顧炎熱，一次次從家里取來水去拯救一只因干渴而即將死亡的小鹿。兒子的行為感動了作者，似乎也感動了老天，天終于下雨了，莊稼也有救了。

1.解析：從前面的the hottest days of the dry season可知，一個月沒有下雨了。

2.解析：每天，我和我丈夫忙著澆地。go about 著手做，忙于某事；take over接管；try on試穿；seek out找出。

3.解析：除非我們看到下雨，否則我們就會失去一切。unless“除非”。

4.解析：從后文中兒子為小鹿送水，和小鹿一起分享水源，可以推測出用sharing。

5.解析：miracle“奇跡”；lesson“教訓”；wildlife“野生動物”；virtue“美德”。從后文可知兒子用一點點的水救活了小鹿，并且天也下了雨，故是個奇跡。

6.解析：從后文的He was walking with effort可知，這里是他向樹林走去。

7.解析：從后文知，這里他費力地走著，盡量身體不動。從后文可知，兒子去樹林時，手里拿著水，因此走起來很小心，怕把水弄灑了。still“不動的”；silent“沉默的”；secret“秘密的”；sacred“神圣的”。

8.解析：前面說他向樹林走去。這里說，幾分鐘后，他消失在樹林里。

9.解析：前文說，兒子消失在樹林里，又跑了回來，下文又說“我”去做三明治，顯然認為兒子的任務已經完成。think“認為”；wonder“想知道”；worry“擔心”。calculate計算。

10.解析：這里上下文構成轉折關系，原以為兒子的任務完成了，沒想到他又回到了樹林里。故用however。

11.解析：最后我禁不住要跟著他。finally“最后，終于”。

12.解析：sign“跡象，符號”；scenery“景色”；sight“視野，視力”；scene“場面，場景”。我忍不住跟蹤他并且目睹了令人驚訝的一幕。

13.解析：scream“尖叫”；rush“奔跑”；burst“爆發(fā)”。我差點尖叫著喊他離開。

14.解析：mildly“溫順地”；powerfully“強大有力地”；dangerously“危險地”；aggressively “有攻擊性的”。這里指一只大鹿距他近得很危險。

15.解析：前文看出作者的擔心，這里表示轉折，但是當Billy跪下時那只鹿一動也沒動。

16.解析：前文提到天氣干旱無雨，后文也提到給小鹿喝水。這里的意思是“我看見一只小鹿躺在地上，顯然是渴壞了”。

17.解析：從Billy ran back to get more.可知，這里是水喝光了。gone“沒有了，喝光了”。只有當表示“丟失了”這個意思時，gone才可以相當于lost, missing。

18.解析：作者明白了一切。

19.解析：作者看到了善良的兒子挽救了一個生命。

20.解析：當我感動的眼淚落在地上時，天突然下起了雨，好像上帝感動得哭了。那場雨救了我們的農場就像一個小男孩救了另一個生命。weep哭泣；chant詠唱。
