解析
先通读短文，了解大意：“我”父亲是英军的一位军官，“我”与妹妹随父亲一起在部队里。有一天傍晚，一只大猩猩来袭击我家，当时父亲为了不让“我”和妹妹不受惊吓，借故要我们上楼。之后，他因未来得及关上门而让大猩猩闯入了我家。再后，父亲上楼，大猩猩后面追，我闻知拿枪开门，并开枪打伤了大猩猩。最后父亲接过枪，开枪将大猩猩击毙。
1. A。类似的表达法有：one-eyed(独眼的)，three-legged(三条腿的)等(注：这是九十年代以来，高考英语完形填空题中唯一道纯语法题，从此以后这样的纯语法题再也没有在高考完形填空题中出现过)。
2. C。这里选 A,D 显然不行，选 B(night)与语境也不符,因为既然是“晚上”，父亲又怎么能通过窗子看到外面的大猩猩呢? 另外须注意的是下文(第8空之后)也出现了 evening 这样的暗示性的词。
3. B。这里若选 C,D 都显然不行。选 A(towards)的话，这是一个动态介词，表示“朝……方向”，也不行，而选 B 刚好符合语境：正由于父亲坐在窗子对面(opposite the window)，所以才能通过窗子看见外面的大猩猩。
4. D。“我”发现父亲的脸色变得苍白，这是由视觉得出的结果，所以这里选 noticed 最合语境。
5. A。这里的 still 意为“一动不动”。
6. B。父亲发现大猩猩，脸色变得苍白，此时按理我要问问父亲出了什么事；但是由于妹妹有病(sick)，所以我坐着一动不动(still)，这显然是为了不“使妹妹受惊吓”，所以选 frighten 正合语境。
7. C。联系上面的语境:为了不让妹妹受惊吓，这时父亲虽然知道大猩猩来的危险，但仍用“平静的”(calm)的声音借故要我们上楼去。
8. D。因为这是直接引语,从语境上看此处应用一般将来时态(注：此题虽有其语境因素，但也有一定的语法特征。这类题在以后的高考完形填空题中很少出现)。
9. B。此句的下文是：父亲要我们上楼去，也就是说他要与这位“朋友”单独相处(alone with)。
10. C。这里的 obeyed 意为“照办”。这从下文显然可知。
11. A。联系下文，这显然是指听到“像门被冲开的声音(heard a sound like that of a door burst in)”，因为从常识上说，“门被冲开”不可能发出像 cry, voice, shout 等之类的声音。
12. D。因为上文说：“我”和妹妹上了楼，下文又说：父亲叫“我”开门。这就说明现在父亲正在“上(up)”楼梯。
13. C。下文说：我从桌上拿起了手枪，这说明是“有危险”。
14. A。因为“我”和妹妹上楼后，把门关了起来，所以现在父亲是叫我们把门 “打开(open)”。
15. C。此题 A, B 选项易排除。但为什么选 C 而不选 D 呢？当时的情景是：父亲在楼梯上，“我”从上往下看，通过父亲的肩膀，看到其后的是一只大猩猩。这里用 over 表示“我”与父亲有一段距离；若用 from，它表示的是“我”从父亲的肩膀那儿往下看(即“我”和父亲在一起，不合语境)。
16. B。这道题其实很简单，从某种角度上来说它主要考察考生是否细心。因为前文第一句就出现了in South Africa 这样的暗示。粗心的考生此处会选有可能 A(South America)。
17. D。若选 A(aiming at), C(shooting at)这显然不合情理，因为大猩猩怎么会能“瞄准”或“射击”？选 B(marching towards)与语境也不符。
18. C。大猩猩被我打了一枪，并从楼梯上退下去。从常识上看，此时大猩猩应该是发出一个“愤怒的”(angry)的声音。
19. A，20. D。指当时父亲从我手上接过还在(still) 冒烟的枪，又开了一枪；这一枪就击毙(killed)了大猩猩。
21. B。若选 C(driven), D(forced)，显然不合上文语境：父亲对孩子说“请你们上楼到自己的房间去好吗?”若选 A (taken) 也不对，因 take指自己亲自带去。选 B(sent)正合语境要求。
22. B，
23. C，
24. A。父亲之所以强作镇静把我们叫上楼去，一方面是为了使有病的妹妹不受惊吓，另一方面则是他以为他能够赶在大猩猩进屋之前(before)把门闩(lock)好。但是，父亲未来得及，因为大猩猩太快(quick)了。
25. D。这可以从文章中的暗示得知。

Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nantette O’Neill gave an arithmetic ___1___ to our class. When the papers were ___2___ she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the ___3___ mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about ___4___ in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neill ___5___ even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to ___6___ after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs. O’Neill asked ___7___ questions, and she did not ___8___ us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the ___9___ words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to ___10___ these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t ___11___ about the other eleven boys. Speaking for ___12___ I can say: it was the most important single ___13___ of my life. Thirty years after being ___14___ to Macaulay’s words, they ___15___ seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a ___16___ to measure ourselves rather than others.
