Passage 3 ?(安徽師大附中2009屆高三第二次模擬考試) ?完形填空

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp has passed. This special sign-language is frequently ? 36 ? by tramps to inform their ? 37 ? whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to ? 38 ? them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.

Quite ? 39 ? one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be ? 40 ?, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into ? 41 ?. But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a ? 42 ? in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, ? 43 ? a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began ? 44 ? a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been ? 45 ?, for the tramp’s face lit up with ? 46 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him ? 47 ? his hat but couldn’t hear his words. The ? 48 ??was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt ? 49 ? for him as he walked ? 50 ??out of the house, But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and ? 51 ??his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. ? 52 ??deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the ? 53 ??sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his ? 54 ?, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried ? 55 ?, whistling as he went along.
