The bicycle he wanted was $90!  37  on earth was he going to get the  38  of the money? He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was  39  to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no  40  to ask his parents, for he knew they had no money to  41 . There was only one way to get money, and that was to  42  it. He would have to find a job.  43  who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr Clay for advice, who usually had _44 in most things. "Well, you can start right here," said Mr Clay. "My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing." That was the  45  of James’s odd-job (零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was surprid by the  46  jobs that people found for him to do.

答案

小题1:C小题1:A小题1:D小题1:B小题1:A小题1:C小题1:B小题1:D小题1:C小题1:A小题1:D小题1:B小题1:C小题1:B小题1:A小题1:D小题1:B小题1:D小题1:A小题1:C 

解析

小题1:C 根据文意可知，James 是在数钱，故用counted。小题1:A 他到底该怎样筹到剩下的钱啊？小题1:D the rest of...“剩下的......”。小题1:B 同学们都有自行车，没有自行车就是和同学们没有共同语言，是很难走到一起的。小题1:A 根据后文可知，爸妈没有多余的钱可以留出来。故没有问父母要钱的必要。小题1:C spare动词“留出，匀出”。小题1:B 与job对应，选earn“挣钱”。小题1:D 打算找工作了，但是该从哪里着手呢？这里表示的是转折，故用but。小题1:C opinions“观点，看法”。小题1:A 擦窗户和汽车是零工的开始。小题1:D various“各种各样的”。小题1:B 他不记得洗过的车的“数量”。小题1:C 很显然，零工带来了“钱”。小题1:B 很快就会有“足够的”钱来买渴望已久的车了。小题1:A 这一天“终于”到来了。小题1:D 他立刻、不浪费一分一秒就跑去了车店。小题1:B 用自己打工得来的钱买车，当然很“自豪”。小题1:D 他是通过打工买的自行车，故用work较合适。Work for sth.“为......工作”。小题1:A since“自从”。小题1:C achieve“获得，得到”。
