Question

【題目】 Everyone likes to have fun, but not everyone has much money to spend. Here are some free or cheap ways to enjoy yourself.

Get outside

Going outside in good weather can be a lot of fun, especially if you go with a friend. H【1】 or cycle on a nearby path or in a park. If you live in a city, you can go window shopping, or you can explore an old part of town and admire (欣賞) the buildings.

Try a hobby

While you’re out and about, take pictures of things you find. Planning and taking pictures can make you see the beauty all around you. And you’ll end up with interesting photos. Photographic equipment can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. You p【2】 already own a camera or a cellphone that can take pictures. Other creative hobbies can also be done with basic (基本) m【3】. Drawing and writing require nothing more than a pencil and paper.

Find an event

Libraries often hold free public events. Stop by one to find out what’s going on. And while you’re there, borrow a book or movie for free. Museums and universities a【4】 hold free events.

If you can’t find a free event, you can volunteer at an event that requires tickets. People who organize concerts and plays need help. You could set up or take down chairs or greet visitors. Sometimes they reward (獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)) volunteers with free tickets.

Meet a friend

Relationships are often the best thing in life. Whatever you do, find someone to share it with. Invite a friend for a walk, an event or a time working on your hobby. Hosting (招待) doesn’t have to be difficult. If your friend comes in the afternoon, you don’t have to serve a meal. I【5】, you can sit and talk, play board games or card games or watch a movie.

You don’t need money to have a fun day.

【答案】

【2】probably

【3】materials

【4】also

【5】Instead

【解析】

本文主要是作者介紹了一些尋找樂(lè)趣的方法，樂(lè)趣不一定是昂貴的，有很多樂(lè)趣是不必花錢(qián)的。

【1】句意：在附近的小路或公園里徒步走或騎行。

根據(jù)句子理解及前句Going outside in good weather can be a lot of fun, especially if you go with a friend.天氣好的時(shí)候出去會(huì)很有趣，尤其是和朋友一起去的時(shí)候。可知這里應(yīng)該說(shuō)的是出去具體可以做的一些事情，而與cycle能夠并列的活動(dòng)，且是在附近能夠做的，也就是徒步走，故答案為Hike。

【2】句意：你可能已經(jīng)擁有一臺(tái)可以拍照的相機(jī)或手機(jī)。

根據(jù)句意理解及前句Photographic equipment can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be.攝影器材可能很貴，但不一定非要。以及空格后的already可知，這里表達(dá)的是“可能”，英語(yǔ)是probably，是一個(gè)副詞，在句中修飾動(dòng)詞，故答案為probably。

【3】句意：其他的創(chuàng)造性愛(ài)好也可以用基本的材料來(lái)完成。

根據(jù)句意理解及后句Drawing and writing require nothing more than a pencil and paper.可知，這里表達(dá)的是“材料”，英語(yǔ)是material，是一個(gè)可數(shù)名詞，而空格前沒(méi)有不定冠詞修飾，所以這里應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)形式，故答案為materials。

【4】句意：博物館和大學(xué)也舉辦免費(fèi)活動(dòng)。

根據(jù)句意理解及前文Libraries often hold free public events. Stop by one to find out what’s going on. And while you’re there, borrow a book or movie for free.圖書(shū)館經(jīng)常舉辦免費(fèi)的公共活動(dòng)。停下，看看發(fā)生了什么事。當(dāng)你在那里的時(shí)候，可以免費(fèi)借一本書(shū)或一部電影�？芍�這里表達(dá)的是“也”，英語(yǔ)是also/ too，而本句是一個(gè)肯定句，且空格是在句中，所以這里應(yīng)該用also，故答案為also。

【5】句意：如果你的朋友下午來(lái)，你不就不必準(zhǔn)備飯菜了。相反，你可以坐下來(lái)聊天，玩棋類(lèi)游戲或打牌或看電影。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表達(dá)的是“相反，反而”，英語(yǔ)是instead，是一個(gè)副詞，在這里修飾整個(gè)句子，故答案為Instead。
