That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend school. Usually, on holidays, Mother1me to sleep in. And I would certainly take full advantage of it. On this particular morning,2,I felt like getting up early.
I stood by my window overlooking the3, having nothing better to do. But as it turned out, I was soon to learn about something4 in life.
As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and go off, I5 an old man on a bicycle with a bucket on its6 and a basket rags and bottles on its back-carriage. He7 from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already8 washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.
Several thoughts9my mind as I watched him work. He wasn’t well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n)10 T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern11would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed12 with life. There he was, working hard at his small business,13 at passers-by and stopping to chat now and then14 elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.
There was a noticeable touch of15 in the way he seemed to be doing things—16the windscreen (擋風玻璃), then standing back to admire it; scrubbing (擦凈) the wheels and17, standing back to see what they look like after the scrub.
It was a18 to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a19if one has good health and is willing to work hard. For a while I felt20 of myself. Young as I am—just sixteen, and there was this old man who must have been usefully engaged perhaps before the sun appeared above the horizon.

一個假日的早上,作者偶然早起,發(fā)現(xiàn)了對自己的人生有益的事——一個衣著樸素,騎著一輛不入時的自行車的老者,在自食其力,而且對自己所做的事情非常自豪。這一刻,作者感覺很羞愧,因為他自己還沒有認識到過生活的真諦。
1.考查動詞辨析。 由on holidays 以及后問題到的我會充分利用這個假日可知,母親會允許(allow)我睡懶覺。
2.考查副詞辨析。 有前文“睡懶覺”以及本句“在這個特別的早上,我想早起些”可知前后為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故選C.
3.上下文語境串聯(lián)。 由下一段第一句As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and go off…可知,作者應(yīng)該是觀望下面的停車場。
4.考查形容詞辨析。 由最后一段作者得出的感悟可知,作者應(yīng)該是了解了一些有用的(uaeful)東西。
5.考查動詞辨析。 我往下看時,應(yīng)該是注意到(noticed)一個老人。
6.考查名詞辨析。 由后文提到自行車后有一筐子布條和瓶子,那么桶應(yīng)該是掛在自行車的把手(handle)上。
7.根據(jù)語境考查動詞辨析。 由后文的from one car to another可知,他應(yīng)該是從一輛車移動到(move)另一輛車。wander徘徊
8.考查動詞辨析。 由already和a dozen or more cars可知,此處指他已經(jīng)完成了(finish)了許多輛車。
9.考查動詞辨析。 當我看著他工作的時候,幾種想法在我的腦子里交替(cross)出現(xiàn)。slip滑 inspire 激勵disturb 打擾
10.考查形容詞辨析。 由前一句中he wasn’t well-dressed可知,他穿著簡單。
11.考查上下文聯(lián)系。 由本句中的the bycycle可知,現(xiàn)在的騎車人(cyclist)不想被看到騎他那樣的自行車。
12.形容詞辨析。 此句為上一句的轉(zhuǎn)折句,再結(jié)合…working hard at his small business,…stopping to chat now and then…可推知他對自己的生活是感到滿意的。
13.上下文聯(lián)系。 由后文的語境“她時不時停下來和附近去市場的老人交談”可知他應(yīng)該是向路人招手(wave)。
14.考查介詞辨析。 表示“和某人交談”用chat with…
15.考查動詞辨析。 由后文standing back to admire it;… standing back to see what they look like after the scrub.可知他擦完后還會往后站,看車子擦完后的樣子,可推知他應(yīng)該是對自己的工作感到自豪(pride)。
16.上下文串聯(lián)。 有第三段的washing and cleaning them可知,此處應(yīng)該是擦洗(clean)擋風玻璃。
17.考查副詞辨析。 由前一句then standing back to admire it可知,他再次(again)往后站欣賞車子。
18.考查名詞辨析。 由后一句At no age need one have to beg for a… 可知,這是一條教訓(lesson)。
19.考查名詞辨析。 乞討是為了求生(living)。

Family members become closer during such a trip, therefore make sure to bring every family member with you — needless to say, your pet dog as well. Enjoy the fresh air and beautiful sunshine with your pet and you will feel much closer to it.

If you have decided to take your dog on a self-driving holiday, a full and detailed preparation is needed.

When reaching the destination, dogs need comfortable and cozy places to rest, but they are sometimes banned from some hotels and restaurants. Therefore it is of great importance to make sure the place you are going is dog-friendly.

Dogs like Golden Retrievers, Schnauzers, Labradors and Cocker Spaniels are quite lively and outgoing in nature so are suitable for a trip. But some canines are not, such as those which are too young or too old.The old dog lets you know quickly about being uncomfortable with unfamiliar circumstances, while the young ones are easy to get hurt.

Many people wrongly believe that holiday trips are beneficial to animals, strengthening their ability to deal with strange environments. But experts say that it’s not as effective as they think and the ability to adapt to different environments needs to be trained into the dogs before they come across such challenges. A sudden trip can be too much of a burden for many dogs which will feel stressed and scared.Only those more naturally friendly dogs will feel happy on a trip with owners by their side.

Special attention should be paid to animal insurance because in a strange environment dogs can be easily frightened by other animals and run away. Keeping them well tied up is advisable.

Another important point that requires your attention is the possibility of attacks by other dogs in rural areas where immunity(免疫力) from disease cannot be guaranteed.

64.The underlined word “canines ” in Para.4 refers to ________.

A.destinations             B.dogs         C.  hotels and restaurants            D.people

65.People should pay special attention to animal insurance because ________.

    A.there are too many young dogs

    B.dogs have the ability to adapt to new environments

    C.  dogs are easily attacked by other dogs in rural areas

    D.dogs are easily afraid of other animals and run away in a strange place

66.The main reason why people bring their dogs on holiday is that ________.

    A.they are not safe at home    

B.they are members of the family

    C.  their dogs can learn a lot outside

    D.people can build a better relationship with them

67.What’s the best title of the passage?

    A.Bring Your Pet on Holiday            B.Take Care of Your Pet

    C.  A Special Member of the Family   D.Animal Insurance
