() 1. Peter doesn't tell his parents that he is going home because he wants to give them a ______.
A.note
B.surprise
C.call
D.water

B

首先分析选项A，“note”意为便条，如果说给父母一个便条，与“不告诉父母回家”这一行为逻辑不符；选项C，“call”意为电话，给父母打电话也不符合“不告诉父母”这一条件；选项D，“water”意为水，与题意毫无关联；而选项B，“surprise”意为惊喜，Peter不告诉父母他回家，是想给他们一个惊喜，符合题意。

() 2. It's snowy today. You'd better wear a pair of gloves to ______ yourself from the cold.
A.prepare
B.protect
C.present
D.play

B

本题可根据各选项的含义，结合题干语境来选择合适的单词。
选项A：“prepare”意为“准备”，常见搭配为“prepare for sth.”或“prepare to do sth.”，表示“为……做准备”或“准备做某事”，不符合“yourself from the cold”的语境，所以A选项错误。
选项B：“protect”意为“保护”，“protect sb. from sth.”是固定搭配，表示“保护某人免受……的伤害”，在本题中“wear a pair of gloves”（戴一副手套）的目的是“protect yourself from the cold”（保护自己免受寒冷），符合语境，所以B选项正确。
选项C：“present”作动词时，意为“颁发；赠送；展示”等，与“yourself from the cold”搭配不恰当，所以C选项错误。
选项D：“play”意为“玩；演奏；扮演”等，与“yourself from the cold”搭配不符合逻辑，所以D选项错误。

() 3. As the old saying goes, "It's a good idea to save for a rainy day." What does this saying mean?
A.You'd better save some money to prepare for a windy day.
B.You'd better save some money for difficult times in the future.
C.You'd better save some money to buy some umbrellas.
D.You'd better save some money for different times in the future.

B

"save for a rainy day"是固定谚语，意为“未雨绸缪，为将来困难时期存钱”。A选项“为刮风天准备”、C选项“买伞”均为字面曲解；D选项“不同时期”表述不准确，谚语侧重“困难时期”。B选项符合谚语含义。
