My “perfect holiday”

As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. But my parents did ____1____ for me and managed every minute of my life. Again and again, they told me to ____2____ the TV, do my homework, practise the piano. I felt a bit unhappy with them ____3____ they loved me. How I wished they would leave me ____4____ because I became so bored with their orders.

Well, my wish came true! My parents had to go away on business for some days though they worried about leaving me. What (a) ____5____! I could enjoy myself so freely. On the first day, after school, I ate many snacks, watched movies and played computer games until midnight.

The next morning, I got up late. I rushed to school without ____6____ but I was still late. I ____7____ forgot to finish my homework. That’s really a shame! I felt tired and sleepy with the empty stomach. When I got home, I tried to cook rice but burnt it. What’s worse, I ____8____ my father’s cup and it was broken! I began to ____9____ my parents. They made delicious food, reminded me of my homework and cheered me up when I was unhappy. Then I realized being home alone was not always as perfect as I imagined.

When my parents returned, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up now. I told them my “perfect holiday”, and we all ____10____.

At that moment, I regretted talking back, not listening to them. Parents know best, and for me they wanted only the best!

1.1.

A one thing

B some things

C other things

D all things

解析：选D。后文 "managed every minute of my life"（管理我生活中的每一分钟）用 every minute 强调管束之全面，与之呼应的应是 "包办一切"（all things），突出父母管得太多的负面感受。A、B 程度不足；C other things（其他事情）无对应对象。此题考查不定代词与上下文强调程度的匹配。

2.2.

A turn on

B turn to

C turn off

D turn up

解析：选C。父母列举的三件事 ——"turn off the TV, do my homework, practise the piano"—— 都是 "停止娱乐、投入学习" 的指令，故 turn off（关掉电视）最合理。A turn on（打开）、D turn up（调大）方向相反；B turn to（转向）搭配不当。四个选项均为 turn 短语，考查形近短语辨析，是高频考点。

3.3.

A although

B and

C so

D or

解析：选A。前句 "they loved me"（他们爱我）与后句 "I felt a bit unhappy"（我感到不开心）构成矛盾转折关系 —— 爱我却让我不开心，故用 although（虽然）引导让步状语从句。B and 表顺承、C so 表因果、D or 表选择，均无法体现 "爱与不开心并存" 的让步逻辑。

4.4.

A busy

B alone

C quiet

D active

解析：选B。leave sb alone 是固定搭配，意为 "让某人独自待着 / 别打扰某人"，与后文 "bored with their orders"（厌倦了他们的命令）的因果逻辑吻合 —— 厌烦被管束，所以想独处。A busy、C quiet、D active 均不能与 leave 构成该语义搭配。此题考查固定搭配 "leave sb alone"，注意与 "leave sb quiet"（让某人安静）区分。

5.5.

A chance

B choice

C pity

D success

解析：选A。前句 "My wish came true!"（我的愿望成真了！）明确说明父母出差正是他渴望的独处机会，故 "What a chance!"（多好的机会！）与前文呼应。C pity（遗憾）若用于 "What a pity!" 则表示惋惜，与 "愿望成真" 矛盾；B choice、D success 与感叹句语境不符。此题考查感叹句 "what a + 名词" 的用法及上下文呼应。

6.6.

A breakfast

B snacks

C lunch

D candies

解析：选A。前文 "The next morning, I got up late"（第二天早上，我起晚了）明确交代时间是早晨，起床晚导致没时间吃 "早饭"（breakfast）。B snacks、D candies 属于前文 "第一天放学后" 吃的零食，时间错位；C lunch（午餐）与 "morning" 矛盾。此题考查利用时间线索锁定名词。

7.7.

A just

B only

C even

D still

解析：选C。此处列举 "狼狈" 的程度升级：迟到→甚至忘了做作业，even（甚至）表递进，强调情况的糟糕程度超出预期，与后文 "That's really a shame!"（太丢人了！）呼应。A just（只是）、B only（仅仅）弱化了语气；D still（仍然）表持续，与语境不符。此题考查递进副词的强调功能。

8.8.

A threw

B dropped

C found

D cleaned

解析：选B。后文 "and it was broken!"（它碎了！）是结果，能导致杯子破碎的动作是 dropped（失手掉落）。A threw（扔）侧重主动投掷，若想表达 "故意摔碎" 与语境不合；C found、D cleaned 均无法产生 "broken" 的结果。此题考查 "动作→结果" 的因果搭配，注意 dropped 与 broken 的天然语义链。

9.9.

A call

B believe

C support

D miss

解析：选D。后文列举父母的好处 ——"They made delicious food, reminded me of my homework and cheered me up"（他们做美食、提醒我做作业、让我振作）—— 正是因为体会到父母的付出才开始 "想念"（miss）他们。A call（打电话）是具体动作，不足以概括情感转变；B believe、C support 与语境无关。此题考查 "下文情感印证上文动词"，注意与故事主题 "从厌烦到想念" 的转变呼应。

10.10.

A cheered

B agreed

C changed

D laughed

解析：选D。所谓 "完美假期" 实则狼狈不堪 —— 迟到、忘作业、烧焦饭、打碎杯子，一家人听完这个 "名不副实" 的假期故事，自然反应是 "laugh"（大笑），"完美假期" 的引号正暗示其反讽意味，与 laughed 形成呼应。A cheered（欢呼）语气过强且多用于庆祝场合；B agreed（同意）、C changed（改变）语义不通。此题考查体会 "引号 + 反讽" 语言效果的深层理解能力。
