【小題1】D
【小題1】A解析:

【小題】and連接的應該是兩個時態相同的動詞，根據原文One day he phoned and  26  me he would be away for a week.， and前面的phone用的是過去式，因此選C.told.
【小題】根據原文，He asked me to feed the bird   27   him and said he would leave his key in my mailbox.（譯文：他請我幫他喂養他的鳥，還說他會把鑰匙放在我的信箱里），feed sth.for sb.意為“幫助某人喂養某物”，因此選項是C.
【小題】根據原文，Unfortunately, I did not remember to feed the birds   28  the night before David was going to return.，（譯文：不幸的是，直到David即將離開的前一晚我才記得要給鳥喂食），A.until表示“(用于否定句)在...以前,直到...才”，因此A為答案。
【小題】根據全文語境，得知David是位男生，所以選B. his。
【小題】根據原文，I soon found the key he gave me could unlock neither the front door   30   the back door!（譯文：很快，我便發現他留給我的鑰匙竟不能打開前門也不能打開后門）。neither...nor...是固定搭配，表示"既不……也不……"，其含義是否定的，可連接任意兩個并列的成份。因此答案為D.
【小題】keep doing sth.，表示“一直持續做某事”，答案為C，其余項均不符合題意。
【小題】根據原文，Then I noticed  32   one bedroom window was open.（譯文：然后，我注意到其中一間房間的窗戶是開著的）。此處，缺少一個引導賓語從句的引導詞，what和that都可以引導賓語從句。但是引導主語、賓語或表語從句時what在從句中要充當句子成分;而that引導主語、賓語、表語和同位語從句時不作任何成分只起語法連接作用。因此，答案為B.
【小題】根據句意得知，此處缺少一個原因狀語從句的引導詞，選項中只有because符合句意，因此答案為B.
【小題】根據語境，此處應用過去進行時，因此D.was shining符合題意。
【小題】根據原文句子，I looked down and saw   35  policeman and an old lady, 此處應填入一個不定冠詞a，因此選A.
