一、完形填空
Recently my parents bought a 1 house. They say it's our "forever house" because they want us to live there for a long time. We haven't moved into the new house yet, 2 my parents say that it needs a lot of repairs (修缮).
My parents asked a company to do all of the repairs at the house. Last week, our 3 went to see the new house. It was the 4 time that my brother Tony and I were seeing the house, and we were so excited.
When we got to the 5, it was 7 o'clock in the evening. As we stepped inside, we saw a few ladders (梯子) leaning up against walls. The first room had big 6 in the floor and in the wall. It looked like a fireplace (壁炉) was going to be 7 there because there were large grey stones near a hole (洞) in the wall, and they looked shiny and new. Dad said, "Yes, 8 new home will have a fireplace." Tony and I looked at each other with huge smiles. Dad continued, "Those 9 are going to surround (包围) it. They are of very good quality, and they 10 an arm and a leg." Standing in the middle of the large room, I spread out my arms. "This will be my bedroom," I told Tony. His eyes 11 jumped out of his head. "What?" I laughed. "I'm just pulling your leg." Mum said it was not 12 to go upstairs because there weren't any railings (栏杆) yet, so Tony and I stayed downstairs. As we walked around, we saw a room that looked kind of like a 13. It had long counters, but there was no fridge, stove, or microwave. "Don't worry," said Mum, laughing. "It won't be so 14 when we move in."
We didn't stay at the house for long. There was no electricity and no water, so we 15 to our other house in the hopes of moving to our forever house sometime soon.

【分析】
做完形填空首先要快速通读全文理清叙事主线，本文围绕“全家第一次参观刚购置的待修缮新房”展开，明确整体故事背景后再逐空推导。解题时优先定位上下文的显性提示信息：比如第1空后文直接出现"the new house"的原词提示，第2空需要判断前后句逻辑，“还没搬进新房”的原因是房子需要大量修缮，属于因果逻辑；其余题目大多可以通过前后文出现的对应名词、场景描述匹配选项，遇到固定表达比如cost an arm and a leg这类习语，结合“石材质量很好”的语境也能推导含义，最后代入所有选项通读验证逻辑通顺即可。
【解析】
1. 根据后文"We haven't moved into the new house yet"的原词提示，可知父母买的是新房子，选B。
2. 前半句“我们还没搬进新房”，后半句“房子需要大量修缮”，后半句是前半句的原因，用表原因的because连接，选D。
3. 后文提到了爸爸、妈妈、我和弟弟Tony，可知是全家人一起去看新房，选C。
4. 文中提到“我们特别兴奋”，父母还在给兄弟俩介绍房屋的规划，说明这是我和Tony第一次见到这套房子，选A。
5. 根据后文"As we stepped inside（我们走进去）"的描述，可知我们抵达了这套新房子，选D。
6. 后文出现"near a hole in the wall"的提示，对应这里地板和墙上有大洞，选C。
7. 搭配宾语a fireplace（壁炉），语境是要在这里建造壁炉，被动语态用build的过去分词built，选B。
8. 这句话是爸爸对全家人说的，指代我们一家人的新家，用形容词性物主代词our，选A。
9. 前文提到“墙洞旁边有大块的灰色石头”，这里说这些东西会环绕壁炉，对应指代前文提到的stones，选C。
10. 固定习语搭配cost an arm and a leg意为“价格高昂、花费很多”，符合语境“石材质量很好”的描述，选B。
11. 前文我开玩笑说要把大房间当自己的卧室，Tony非常惊讶，eyes almost jumped out of his head表示“眼睛几乎要瞪出来”，用来形容极度吃惊，选D。
12. 后文提到“楼上还没有装栏杆”，根据常识可知这种情况上楼是不安全的，选A。
13. 后文描述“有长台面，只是还没有冰箱、炉灶、微波炉”，这些都是厨房的配套设施，所以这个房间看起来像厨房，选C。
14. 前文提到现在这个房间还没有任何家电，所以现在是空的，等我们入住的时候就不会这么空了，选A。
15. 前文说我们没在这套房子待很久，这里表示我们返回原来的家，head back意为“返回、回去”，符合语境，选D。
