【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇記敘文。Davies因有事出差委托作者照料他的鳥，作者完全忘了這回事，直到Davies回來的前一天晚上才記起來，鑰匙打不開門，作者被警察誤會。

1.the考查定冠詞。分析句子，birds特指Davies的鳥，故前面需要加定冠詞。

2.to考查固定搭配。The keys to the door“開這扇門的鑰匙”；介詞用to。

3.Unfortunately考查副詞。根據(jù)后文I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vernon was going to return.可知這是件不幸的事。

4.it考查代詞。此處it 代指when I arrived at his house，it 作虛擬主語，when引導的狀語從句作真正主語。

5.or考查固定搭配。Either or“要么...要么...”，用于否定句。句意“...既打不開前門，也打不開后門�！�

6.what考查連詞。分析句子成分可知，此處what作say的賓語，指代Vernon would say的內容。

7.when考察連詞。分析句子句意，“就在我準備放棄的時候，我發(fā)現(xiàn)有一扇臥室窗戶沒有完全關緊�！惫蚀鸢笧閣hen。

8.up考查固定搭配。Climb up“爬上，攀援”，前文可知作者和the bedroom window 之間有一段距離，需要爬上去。

9.was shining考查過去進行時。過去進行時表示在過去的某時間點或時間段內正在進行的一種狀態(tài)，由下文可知shine這個動作在當時正在進行，用過去進行時。

10.
