How do you usually get to school? Buy bus? On foot? Roby Burch, 16, a US student, gets to school a little 36__________---he goes by horse (馬).
Burch has been riding his white horse 4 miles to and from school 37 __________the 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 38__________ at this time of morning. It’s a nice way to start the day.”
The idea was his 39__________. His family were enjoying their vacation on their farm this summer, “My dad just said, ‘Roby, you 40__________ 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), Joe Cox, and surprisingly, he got the green light. Cox even 41__________ 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 42__________cars 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 43__________ 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. 44__________ 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 45 __________ else.” He says, “It’s really a guy thing.”

【小題1】A解析:

【主旨大意】本篇短文講述的是一個學生騎馬上學的事情。短文詳細敘述了這個學生選擇騎馬上學的全過程。
【小題1】 下文句意提示該生上學的方式與上文提供的方式有點不同,用differently 表達。
【小題1】 介詞since 和名詞the beginning 連用,表示“自開學之初”。
【小題1】形容街道擁擠用形容詞crowded表達,busy 用來修飾traffic。
【小題1】考查上下文意義對應。下文他父親的話提示騎馬上學這個主意來自他的父親。
【小題1】根據(jù)他父親提建議這一語言環(huán)境,可知用情態(tài)動詞should。
【小題1】副詞even“甚至”提示空格處用動詞allow, allow sb to do sth 意為“允許某人做某事”。
【小題1】 因為選擇的是“僻靜的街道”,所以應為“更少”,用few 修飾可數(shù)名詞,下文than 提示用比較級形式。
【小題1】 通過even now 和下句意義,可知“他仍然繼續(xù)騎馬上學”,continue to do sth “繼續(xù)干某事”。
【小題1】句意表示轉(zhuǎn)折,“原來他害怕,但現(xiàn)在…”,用連詞but 表達。
【小題1】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!
