　　(2018·昆明市高三复习教学质量检测)I lost my flat by accident, and then I discovered my car needed a new engine.That meant I would have to spend ￡1,000 to get the car back on the __1__. I suddenly found that I needed, first, somewhere to __2__ and second, something to travel around __3__.

　　I was trying to decide what to do when I __4__ the advertisement on a board: Converted (改装过的) ambulance __5__， ￡1,600.So I rang the number in the ad and __6__ to go and see it.It was love at first sight! I made a __7__ straight away.Two days later I was the __8__ owner of a converted camper van (野营车)．

　　At first I was __9__.I wasn't sure whether I could handle it.__10__， gradually I've had feelings that I haven't __11__ before.Living in my van is just the __12__ of waking up in the morning, and, for the first few seconds, not knowing __13__ you are.Then you look out of the window; some strange trees __14__ you, and some beautiful scenery makes your heart beat __15__. Living in a flat in the city I missed all that.

　　Now I begin to __16__ what the travelers have been telling us.Living in a van is cheap.No rent.What's more, there's the sense of __17__ my new lifestyle has given me. I love being able to go where I want and when I want.It's __18__ to feel that the whole world is your home.It is no __19__ that so many people are __20__ their houses and going on the road.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。"我"的车发动机坏了，修理费很昂贵。偶然间"我"看中了一辆由救护车改装的野营车，立即买下了它。在这辆车里，"我"既可以居住，又可以旅游，觉得世界就是家，这种感觉真好。

　　1．A.side　　　　　　　　　 B．road

　　C．spot D．platform

　　解析：选B　根据该句中的"get the car back on the __1__"可以判断，此处是说，让"我"的汽车重返上路(road)则要花费"我"1 000英镑。

　　2．A.drive B．relax

　　C．work D．live

解析：选D　根据该句中的"somewhere"及上文中的"I lost my flat"可以判断，"我"突然意识到"我"首先需要有个地方居住(live)，故D项正确。
