Joe Biggs was a butcher. His shop was in a village in the beautiful south of England, and he 31 in it for many years while his father was there. Then when his father reached the age of 65, he stopped working in the shop, and Joe was alone in it, so he had to work 32 . Joe worked five and a half days a week. His shop 33 at one o’clock on Thursday, and it was closed the whole of Sunday. Saturdays were the 34 days. Most of Joe’s 35 came to his shop from the nearest town, but sometimes he got up earlier than usual in the morning and 36 into the city to choose meat. It was 37 there. Joe had a big 38 in his shop, but he tried not to buy too 39 meat at a time, and to 40 it before he bought more. One 41 a woman came into the shop at five minutes to one. “Sorry I’m late,” she said, “but some friends have just telephoned to say that they are coming to 42 tonight, and I need more 43 .” Joe only had one piece of meat in the shop. He had sold all the others 44 in the day. He took the piece 45 and said to the woman, “This is 6.5 pounds.” “That piece is too 46 .” the woman said. “Haven’t you got anything bigger?” Joe went 47 the room behind his shop, opened the refrigerator, put the piece of meat into it, took it out 48 and shut the door of the refrigerator 49 , then he brought the piece of meat back to the woman and said, “This piece is bigger and more expensive. It’s 8.75 pounds.” “Good,” the woman answered with a smile, “give me 50 of them, please.” 小题1: A．lived B．studied C．worked D．played. 小题2: A．more B．harder C．later D．again 小题3: A．shut B．started C．opened D．served 小题4: A．hardest B．easiest C．quietest D．busiest 小题5: A．customers B．meat C．buyers D．friends 小题6: A．walked B．flew C．drove D．ran 小题7: A．easier B．fresher C．nearer D．cheaper 小题8: A．refrigerator B．room C．kitchen D．cupboard 小题9: A．much B．expensive C．fresh D．adequate 小题10: A．eat B．cook C．sell D．freeze 小题11: A．Thursday B．Sunday C．Monday D．Saturday 小题12: A．party B．dinner C．lunch D．dance 小题13: A．food B．vegetable C．meat D．fruit 小题14: A．later B．earlier C．quicker D．cheaper 小题15: A．in B．up C．away D．out 小题16: A．small B．large C．cheap D．bad 小题17: A．outside B．from C．into D．through 小题18: A．still B．again C．even D．back 小题19: A．carefully B．quickly C．lightly D．heavily 小题20: A．both B．none C．each D．all
