1．文章一开始就介绍了这个人正骑着摩托车，根据下文他在旅游，选touring旅游。搜寻searching显出他是有目的，这与下文他遇到情况后不知所措是矛盾的；保卫defending；绕圈circling都不可能。5．年轻人喜欢有个漂亮姑娘坐在后面，因为他觉得这是个很好的伴侣，选company陪伴。事务business；事件event都与年轻人身份不符合；行动action虽然可以说是做好事，但年轻人的出发点并不是为了干什么好事，也不迭。7．从坐摩托车的情景出发，后面的人的障盖是顶着前面人的，选pressmg压、顶，其他词都不符合膝盖发出的动作。8．对于坐在前面的人来说，他要驾驶车，不方便回头看，不选looked看。但可以顺手摸一下，选felt摸。9．out of his life有“灵魂出壳”的意思，也就是“吓坏”。11．年轻人骑在车上，不会下来走路去找人，不选walked；拿回got back不符合上下文；往回看watched back是不解决问题的；快速骑回racedback符合人物心理和当时情况。14．年轻人路过一个小酒店，决定停下来，选stop；等待walt在那种情况下是没有用处的；进人enter是及物动词，后面设有接各词是不对的，再说他必须先停下再进入酒店，所以不选；前进march没有道理。16．年轻人进店后把事情告诉小店老板，对于一件很难得磋上的事，小店老板应该显示的当然是吃惊，但他根本没有显示出，所以选surprised。着急worried是指关系密切的人的心情，但小店老板显然与那个女人设关系；感动moved和满意satisfied显然不对。17．此空主语是小店老板，他投有显示吃惊，还在继续于他的事，他所干的典羽的动作应该是擦干dr-ymg杯子。

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp (流浪汉) has passed. This special sign language is frequently 　　1　 　　by tramps to inform their 　　2　　 　whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 　3　　 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.

Quite 　4 　　one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be　　 5　　 , old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered (不成形的) old hat and his boots were so old and worn-they were almost coming into　　 6　　 . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 　　7　　 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 　　8　 a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began 　　9　 　a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been　 10　 , for the tramp’s face lit up with 　　11　 . He entered the front gate confidently (自信地) and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him　 12　 his hat but couldn’t hear his words. The 　13　 very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt 　14　 　for him as he walked 　　15　 out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and 　　16　 　his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 　17　 　deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the 　18　 sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his 　　19　 , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 　20　 , whistling as he went along.
