阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出适当的选项补全短文。

The owner of a missing cat is asking for help. “My baby has been missing for over a month now, and I want him back so badly,” said Mrs. Brown, a 56-year-old woman. Mrs. Brown lives by herself in a trailer park near Clovis. She said that Clyde, her 7-year-old cat, didn't come home for dinner more than a month ago. 1. ______________ After Clyde missed an extra-special lunch, she called the police.

When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear, and was seven years old and completely white. 2. _____________

A bell went off. “Is Clyde your child or your pet?” the officer suspiciously asked. “Well, he’s my cat, of course,” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, you’re supposed to report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS,” said the policeman. "Well, who can I report this to?” she asked. “You can’t. You have to ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers,” replied the officer.

Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8 “x11” piece of paper on a telephone pole. 3. ____________ The billboard had a phone number on it. She called that number, and they told her they could blow up a picture of Clyde (from Mrs. Brown's family album) and put it on the billboard for all to see. 4._____________

5. ______________ Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.

A. She was really thankful for all they have done for her.

B. The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared.

C. The next morning he didn't appear for breakfast either.

D. She then told the officer that Clyde was about a foot high.

E. There was an empty billboard at the end of her street just off the interstate highway.

【回答】

1.B

解析：前文说到，the cat didn’t come home for dinner，选项中didn’t appear for breakfast either，dinner与breakfast 相关，either 表示的也是没回家的信息，所以选B。

2.D

解析：本段信息都是关注Mrs Brown向*察描述她的猫咪的情况的，then也说明是前面动作的继续，所以选择D。

3.E

解析：前后文都讲得是billboard的信息，与选项中关于billboard信息相对应。

4.B

解析：从最后一段看出猫咪还没有找到，所以选项中的猫咪还没有出现与下文内容相符。
