Question

How do you usually get to school? Buy bus? On foot? Roby Burch, 16, a US student, gets to school a little 1---he goes by horse (馬).
Burch has been riding his white horse 4 miles to and from school 2the beginning of the semester. “Every morning, wearing my blue jacket and jeans, I’m on my way at 6 am.” Burch says, “The streets are mostly 3 at this time of morning. It’s a nice way to start the day.”
The idea was his 4. His family were enjoying their vacation on their farm this summer, “My dad just said, ‘Roby, you 5 ride your horse to school every day.’” says Burch. He thought it really was a good idea.
When they got back home, Burch asked for permission from the headmaster (校長(zhǎng)), Joe Cox, and surprisingly, he got the green light. Cox even 6 Burch to keep the horse next to the headmaster’s house. Then his dad helped Burch find the best route to school. It is along back streets and has 7cars than the others.
For the return trip every afternoon, Burch leaves school at 5:45 pm. Even now, as the days grow shorter and colder, he 8 to ride his horse. “ I will ride my horse even in the coldest weather.” he says.
Burch says the first time he sat on a horse as a four-year-old boy he was afraid. 9 now, “it’s what I do best.” It’s no surprise that he wants to be a cowboy (牛仔) when he grows up. “I love riding horses more than 10 else.” He says, “It’s really a guy thing.”

【主旨大意】本篇短文講述的是一個(gè)學(xué)生騎馬上學(xué)的事情。短文詳細(xì)敘述了這個(gè)學(xué)生選擇騎馬上學(xué)的全過(guò)程。
1. 下文句意提示該生上學(xué)的方式與上文提供的方式有點(diǎn)不同，用differently 表達(dá)。
2. 介詞since 和名詞the beginning 連用，表示“自開(kāi)學(xué)之初”。
3.形容街道擁擠用形容詞crowded表達(dá)，busy 用來(lái)修飾traffic。
4.考查上下文意義對(duì)應(yīng)。下文他父親的話(huà)提示騎馬上學(xué)這個(gè)主意來(lái)自他的父親。
5.根據(jù)他父親提建議這一語(yǔ)言環(huán)境，可知用情態(tài)動(dòng)詞should。
6.副詞even“甚至”提示空格處用動(dòng)詞allow, allow sb to do sth 意為“允許某人做某事”。
7. 因?yàn)檫x擇的是“僻靜的街道”，所以應(yīng)為“更少”，用few 修飾可數(shù)名詞，下文than 提示用比較級(jí)形式。
8. 通過(guò)even now 和下句意義，可知“他仍然繼續(xù)騎馬上學(xué)”，continue to do sth “繼續(xù)干某事”。
9.句意表示轉(zhuǎn)折，“原來(lái)他害怕，但現(xiàn)在…”，用連詞but 表達(dá)。
10.是“騎馬”這件事和其它事情相比，不是我和其他人相比。用anything else 表示“任何其它事情�！�
