单选题 [A] was going to [B] was having [C] were having
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 考查时态。从本文第一句可以看出，全文应用过去时的相应时态。第三句指出“这时突然下雨了”，所以第二句应是当时正在进行的动作，即“一个小男孩正和他父亲在乡间散步”。所以本句应用过去进行时。
单选题 [A] with [B] of [C] to

【答案解析】[解析] 考查介词。根据下文，“他们没地方避雨”，“很快就湿透了”，可以推测出，他们没有带伞。表示“随身携带，在…身边”，用介词with。

单选题 [A] for [B] so [C] because

单选题 [A] to home [B] their home [C] home

单选题 [A] turned to [B] turned in [C] cried
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 考查词义辨析。“转向某人”用turn to sb.；turn in 意为“交出，上交”；cry意为“哭，大声呼喊”。根据上下文，男孩应是边把头转向他父亲，边询问。B和C与本题语境不符。
单选题 [A] Yes, it is [B] No, it is [C] No, it isn't
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 考查简略回答的形式。并列连词but连接两个意思转折的分句。从后半句“但雨很有用”可以看出，前半句应是说雨的不利的一面，即同意儿子的话。在回答一般疑问句时，只要回答的内容为否定，其完整的句式应用否定形式，则它的简略回答也用否定形式。
单选题 [A] answered [B] asked [C] spoke
