【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Tom想要一辆新的自行车，但是他的父母不是很有钱，最后Tom通过自己的努力工作劳动为自己买了一辆自行车，为此他很珍惜这辆自行车。

【1】句意：他仔细地数着床上的硬币。

counted数数；spread传播，散布；watched观看，注视；tossed抛，掷；根据下文“All he had was $24.52(about 153 yuan)”他只有24.52美元（约合153元人民币），可知他刚刚是在数钱。故选A。

【2】句意：他想要的那辆自行车至少90美元。

book书；bicycle自行车；album相簿，唱片集；skateboard滑板。根据下文“His friends all had bicycles”，“…when you were the only one without a bicycle.”可知Tom所有的朋友都有自行车，但Tom是唯一一个没有自行车的。故选B。

【3】句意：当你是唯一一个没有自行车的人，是很难和人们一起闲逛。

easy容易的；good好的；hard难的，possible可能的。根据上文“His friends all had bicycles.”可知Tom所有的朋友都有自行车，仅仅Tom没有。当Tom想和他们一起闲逛时，就显得很难。故选C。

【4】句意：Tom思考着他能做什么呢？

how怎样，如何；what什么；which哪一个；where哪里。根据后文“There was no point asking his parents, for he knew they had no extra money.”可知Tom找他的父母亲要钱没用，因为他知道他父母也没有多余的钱。他自己的钱不够，父母亲也没有钱，但是他想和朋友一样有辆自行车，所以他在思考他现在能做什么才能让自己的想法成真。故选B。

【5】句意：他将不得不找份工作。

friend朋友；mall购物中心；company公司；job工作。根据下文“…That was the beginning of Tom’s part-time job.”可知Tom做兼职工作赚钱。故选D。

【6】句意：你可以从这开始。

wait等待；start开始；learn学习；stay停留。根据下文“You see, my windows need to be cleaned and my car need washing.”可知克雷先生说，我家窗户要擦，车要洗。潜在的意思就是说Tom可以帮他工作，从这些小活做起。故选B。

【7】句意：你看，我的窗户要擦，我的车要洗。

driving开车；locking锁住；racing比赛；washing洗。根据上下文可知克雷先生建议让Tom为他工作。文中and前后连接的句子就是Tom工作的内容，前者擦窗户，后面应该是洗车。故选D。

【8】句意：那是Tom兼职工作的开始。

beginning开始，开端；ending结尾；trouble麻烦；difficulty困难。根据下“…He dogs for walks, cleared out cupboards and mended books.”可知Tom除了要擦窗户，洗车，后面还需要遛狗，清理碗柜，修补书籍。所以前面的工作只是兼职工作的开始。故选A。

【9】句意：在接下来的三个月里，Tom完成作业后每天还要工作。

studied学习；ran跑；practised练习；worked工作。根据上下文“…He took dogs for walks, cleared out cupboards and mended books.”可知Tom的兼职工作任务很多。所以每天完成作业后都有工作。故选D。

【10】句意：他遛狗，清理碗橱，修补书籍。

fed喂养；carried搬运，运送；took拿，取；left留下。根据句意可知是表达遛狗，遛狗的短语为“take the dog for walks”，故选C。

【11】句意：他抓紧时间到商店去取他要的自行车。

had有；lost丢失，遗失；wasted浪费；spent花费。根据前文“The day finally came when Tom counted his money again and found $94.32.”可知当Tom再数一遍他的钱时发现是94.32美元，这一天终于来了。可以看出Tom为了筹够钱买自行车等待了许久，终于有足够的钱买自行车了，此时的他迫不及待地想拿到心仪的自行车。故选C。

【12】句意：Tom自豪地把自行车骑回家，迫不及待地在他的朋友面前展示他的新自行车。

slowly缓慢地；helplessly无助地；proudly自豪地；carelessly粗心地。根据“……The day finally came when Tom counted his money again and found $94.32. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted.”可知Tom做了许多艰苦的兼职工作，终于赚了足够买自行车的钱，当他买了自行车，此时的心情应该是无比骄傲自豪地。故选C。

【13】句意：Tom做了很多艰苦的工作，所以他比其他任何人都珍惜他的自行车。

so所以；because因为；though即使；as因为，当……时，根据“He had done a lot of hard work.”可知他做了许多艰苦的工作。“Tom valued his bicycle far more than anyone else’s.”可知他比其他任何人都珍惜自行车。两个句子在句意上构成因果关系。故选A。

【14】句意：Tom做了很多艰苦的工作，所以他比其他任何人都珍惜他的自行车。

someone一些人，某些人；anyone任何人；nobody没有人；something某物，根据“Tom valued his bicycle far more than…”可知Tom是把自己的自行车与其他任何人的自行车相比较，anyone else’s意为其他任何人的，故选B。

【15】句意：他实现了他认为不可能实现的目标，这比自行车更有价值。

more than多于，超过；less than少于，不到；fewer than较少于；much more更加，多得多。根据后文“What he had done would shape his whole life.”可知他的所作所为将影响他的一生。可知他通过自己艰苦的努力实现了不可能的目标，与实际的物品相比较，他在追寻目标的过程中的所作所为更有价值。故选A。

此类文中需做题时需要将自己代入到文章中，并且要联系自己的生活实际，跟随主人公的活动来感受主人公心情的变化，才能体会其故事道理。如小题1，故事开头 “Tom shook his piggy bank again. There was nothing left.”可知Tom再次摇了摇他的小猪储钱罐，里面一分钱也没有。再联系我们自己实际，当你想用存钱罐中的钱买自己喜欢的东西时，存钱罐里却一分钱也没有时，你会将你已有的钱仔仔细细的数了又数。所以第一空填count。
