The only way he could get more money was to earn it. He would have to find a job. He decided to ask Mr. Smith for advice.

“Well, you can _________ right here,” said Mr. Smith. “You see, my windows needs cleaning and my car needs _________”

That was the _________ of Eric's part-time job. For the next three months, he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks, cleaned windows and watered flowers.

At last the day came when Eric counted his money again and found $94.32. He _________ no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted.

这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述艾瑞克想买自行车，但是钱不够，于是去做兼职赚钱，最后终于如愿以偿的故事。

【1】

句意：他仔细地数着床上的硬币。

counted数数；spread扩散；watched观看；threw扔。根据“the coins”及“All he had was $24.52”可知此处表示“数数”，用动词counted。故选A。

【2】

句意：他想要的自行车至少90美元。

book书；bicycle自行车；basketball篮球；smart phone手机。根据后文“His friends all had bicycles”可知他想要自行车，此处用名词bicycle。故选B。

【3】

句意：当你是唯一一个没有自行车的人，和人一起闲逛很难。

hold on抓牢；run away逃离；hang out闲逛；talk about谈论。此处用动词短语hang out表示“和人一起闲逛”。故选C。

【4】

句意：他考虑了他能做的事情。

how怎样；what什么；which哪一个；where哪儿。此处用what引导宾语从句，what在从句中做动词do的宾语，表示“他能做的什么事情”。故选B。

【5】

句意：你可以就在这儿开始。

wait等待；stay待着；learn学习；start开始。根据前文“find a job”以及后文“my windows needs cleaning and my car needs…”可知此处表达“找工作做的话可以从这里开始做”，用动词start。故选D。

【6】

句意：你看，我的窗子需要清理，我的轿车洗了。

driving开车；locking锁；racing赛跑；washing洗。根据前文“find a job”可知此处表示“洗轿车”，用动名词washing。故选D。

【7】

句意:那是艾瑞克的兼职工作的开端。

beginning开始；excitement兴奋；trouble麻烦；organization组织。根据前文“you can start right here”可知此处用the beginning of表示“兼职工作的开始”。故选A。

【8】

句意：他不浪费一点时间，立刻到商店买了他想要的自行车。

asked 问；spared抽出；wasted浪费；spent花费。此处用动词短语waste no time表示“不浪费一点时间，立刻”。故选C。

【9】

句意：他自豪地骑车回家，期盼着把他的新自行车展示给朋友看。

purposely故意地；polite礼貌的；proudly自豪地；properly恰当地。根据“looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends”可知此处用副词proudly表示“自豪地，骄傲地”。故选C。

【10】

句意:他做了很多难的工作，因此艾瑞克比任何其他人要更珍惜他的自行车。

so因此；as因为；though尽管；because因为。前后是因果关系，此处用连词so表示“因此，所以”。故选A。
