【解析】

这篇短文讲述的是Joe去了一个海边小镇度假，在住店的时候，因为误解了店主的意思而闹出了一个笑话。

【1】句意：Joe在度假，所以他决定在一个海边小镇上度过这个假期。

根据句意可知，空后的it代指holiday，结合首字母可知，这里表示“度过假期”，考查spend，意为“花费，度过”，是一个动词。句中使用了句型decide to do sth.“决定去做某事”，这里应用动词原形。故答案为spend。

【2】句意：他下了火车，离开了车站。

根据空后and left the station可知，先“下火车”，再“离开车站”，这里考查的是短语get off，意为“下车”。故答案为off。

【3】句意：几分钟之后，他进入了一个小旅馆，问主人住一晚上要多少钱。

根据空后asking the owner how much it would cost him for one night.可知Joe是想要住店，故这里考查的是hotel。空前有a修饰，用单数。故答案为hotel。

【4】句意：Joe伤心地说：“那超出了我的支付能力。”

根据Joe所说的话 “That's more than I can really pay”可知，15美元一个晚上对于他来说太贵了，他付不起，所以感到伤心，这里考查sadly，是一个副词，修饰谓语动词said。故答案为sadly。

【5】句意：Joe非常开心因为他在家总是自己铺床。

根据两句话之间的关系可知，空后解释Joe感到开心的原因，因此这里考查because，是一个连词，引导原因状语从句。故答案为because。

【6】句意：他对Joe说：“这些是给你自己做床用的。”

根据上文The owner went into a room at the back, opened a cupboard and took out some tools such as a hammer, a saw, nails and pieces of wood.可知，店主给Joe这些东西，让他自己做一个床。这里考查反身代词yourself，意为“你自己”。故答案为yourself。

【7】句意：手里拿着工具，Joe知道他没有理解店主说的“铺床”的正确意思。

根据文意可知，Joe以为店主说的是“铺床”；而店主说的是“做一个床”，所以他没有理解店主的意思。这里考查meaning，是一个名词，意为“意思”。故答案为meaning。

这是一篇记叙文，短文讲述了Joe度假时发生的一件趣事。文章叙述清晰，内容贴近学生们的日常生活，比较容易理解。题型是短文填空，要求根据文意和所给单词的首字母，填写适当的单词。做题时应先通读短文，了解文意；然后根据语境提示和首字母两个线索，填写适当的单词。例如第2小题，根据空后and left the station可知，先“下火车”，再“离开车站”，这里考查的是短语get off，意为“下车”。故答案为off。再如第5小题，根据两句话之间的关系可知，空后解释Joe感到开心的原因，因此这里考查because，是一个连词，引导原因状语从句。故答案为because。
