D
A few days later, the children are in Helen's room.
"What are you doing with the bandage?" asks Roger.
"There's something wrong with Dacty's wing. My room is too small and he keeps banging his wings against the walls and furniture. He can't fly. I feel sorry for him. And he's always hungry. Can you get something for him from the kitchen?" Roger goes into the kitchen and cooks a big plate of sausages.
Helen helps Dacty down from her wardrobe. Roger puts the plate with the sausages in front of Dacty and the pterodactyl quickly eats them all up. Then he tries to fly onto the top of Helen's wardrobe, but he can't.
"Mum, we have to take Dacty to a vet. He can't fly. There's something wrong with his wing. Can you take us there?"
"All right. Put him into the big basket."
"And Mum, don't tell the vet that he is a pterodactyl," says Helen. "We don't want people to find out we've got a dinosaur in our house. There will be stories in all the newspapers."
"Okay, I won't say a word," says Mum.
When they get to the surgery, the vet looks very carefully at Dacty. "The wing isn't broken, but it needs rest. I'll put a splint on it and it'll be better soon. But what kind of bird is this? What happened to his feathers?"
"Oh, he's a special turkey from South America, and he doesn't have feathers," says Roger. "Oh, yes, of course," says the vet, but she looks a little confused.
Two weeks later, Dacty's wing is better. Helen and Roger want to see if he can fly. They wait until it's dark and they take Dacty outside into the garden in a big basket.

答案：37.D 【点拨】根据第三段中"There's something wrong with Dacty's wing. My room is too small and he keeps banging his wings against the walls and furniture."可知,达克蒂受伤的原因是没有足够的空间让他飞。故选D。
38.A 【点拨】根据第二段"'What are you doing with the bandage?' asks Roger."可知,海伦用绷带处理达克蒂的翅膀;根据第三段中"Roger goes into the kitchen and cooks a big plate of sausages."可知,罗杰给达克蒂烹饪食物;根据第四段中"Then he tries to fly onto the top of Helen's wardrobe"可知,达克蒂努力飞到衣柜的顶端;根据第六段中"Put him into the big basket."可知,海伦把达克蒂放在一个大篮子里;根据倒数第三段中"When they get to the surgery, the vet looks very carefully at Dacty."可知,兽医非常仔细地检查了达克蒂。正确顺序是e-a-d-b-c。故选A。
39.B 【点拨】根据后面的"in all the newspapers"可知,此处表达报纸上会出现达克蒂的新闻,所以"stories"指的是"关于达克蒂的新闻"。故选B。
40.B 【点拨】根据第二段"'What are you doing with the bandage?' asks Roger.",第四段中"Helen helps Dacty down from her wardrobe.",第五段中"we have to take Dacty to a vet"和第七段中"don't tell the vet that he is a pterodactyl"可知,海伦用绷带处理达克蒂的翅膀,帮助达克蒂从衣柜上下来,并请求母亲带达克蒂去看兽医,并且不告诉兽医达克蒂是翼指龙,由此推断海伦是一个细心仔细的人。故选B。
