Question

  A friend and I had arranged to spend a whole Sunday taking a long walk in the country. We set off on an early train，each carrying a 1     bag filled with sandwiches，cakes，fruit and bottles of lemonade. I 2      how two people would be able to finish it all.

Soon we had left 3      the smoky air of the city and had reached the country station where our 4      was to begin. We were 5      ，because the sun was shining and there was a gentle breeze to make it just right for walking. We decided to go on a walk called the Four Mile Square：It has four 6     sides，each about four miles in length and on a map looks like a rough square. It is 7      because each side passes through a different kind of country. We 8      in high spirits along the first side，which 9      a river，planning to have a swim and our first meal before we left it. Before long，we came to a gate near which there was a 10      ， " Beware of the Bull". We were very 11      Our path ran through this field, and,as it was a public foot?path,the farmer had no 12      to put a dangerous animal in it. "Oh,but it's all right," my friend said. "This bull is tied up. Come on.”

I followed, because I could see for myself a strong rope 13      to the ring in its nose at one end and round a large tree at the other. We felt very bold and walked nearer, 14      a red handkerchief just to show that we weren't afraid.

The bull began to walk towards us―and did not stop. "He 15      to have a long rope,”I said,walking more quickly. The bull too was walking more quickly. Then,at the same mo?ment,we both saw that the rope was broken, and without 16      we began to run.

We were halfway across the field but it didn't take us long to reach the gate again. We jumped over,very much out of 17      ，and looked back to see the bull quietly 18      a bag of food. "That was a clever 19      of mine,wasn't it?" said my friend："I dropped the food on purpose to 20      away the bull's attention.”

"No，" I cried. It was not clever！I dropped mine―accidentally.

1.C由包里的东西sandwiches,cakes,fruit and bottles of lemonade以及I        how two

2.A I wonder+从句表示"我不知道……"，和语境相符。

3.D leave behind"留下，遗留；超过"，是固定短语。

4.B根据文章第一段的taking a long walk in the country可知，此处用B项。

5.C由the sun was shining and there was a gen?tle breeze to make it just right for walking可知，这天很适合散步。故说我们很幸运(lucky).

6.A由each about four miles in length and on a map looks like a rough square可知，这四条边几乎相等。故用equal"相等的，均等的"。

7.D由each side passes through a different kind of country可以推出，这个地方非常出名。

8.A由常识可知，我们选定了要步行的地方，当然接下去的是我们要开始行动了。start off "出发，开始";take up"拿起;从事"，是及物动词词组；run off"逃跑，溜掉";turn up"出现，露面"。

9.B我们先走的这一边同一条河并行，所以我们打算游泳。connect"连接";follow"追随，沿……而行";surround"包围，环绕";reflect "反射，反映"。

10.D由下文的Beware of the Bull可知，这是一则通知(notice) 。

11.C看到"小心公牛"的通知，我们当然是很焦急(worried) 了。

12.B由as it was a public footpath可推出'我们认为农民们没有权利(right) 让他们的公牛上这条路。

13.A由常识可以知道，牛的鼻子上穿上一个环，然后把绳子系(tie) 在这个环上。

14.A上文说过牛被拴在了树上，所以我们很大胆，对这牛挥舞(wave) 红手绢。

15.C上文说到牛是被栓到树上的，所以当我们看到牛向我们走来，并且不停，我们认为这牛缰绳好像(seem) 很长。

16.B看到牛缰绳断了，我们毫不犹豫地开始跑了起来。without hesitation"毫不犹豫"，是固定短语。

17.D由常识可知,我们被公牛追赶，当然是被追得上气不接下气(out of breath) 。
