Keys: 1 ― 5 CADBD6 ― 10 CACBD11 ― 15 ABADA16 ― 20BCDCB
解析：1. He always wore clean clothes even when he worked. 他总是穿着干干净净的衣服，甚至他在牧场上劳动的时候也是如此。由此可知，他对于自己的穿着方式很自豪。此外，在第10题也有相关的原词再现。
2. 根据下一句内容That is very difficult for a ranger（突击队员）who works outside on a 3farm.可知他在牧场上劳动的时候总是穿着干干净净的衣服。
3. 根据第5段内容可知，他是在马场工作。由此可以推断出本题答案为D。
4. 根据第2题He always wore clean clothes even when he worked.所提供的信息可知，His clothes were never 4 like most of other rangers. 所需要填空的内容为dirty。never dirty相当于clean。
5. 本题由第二段第二句中的always可推断出爸爸外出工作总是戴帽子，never … without为双重否定。Papa never worked outside without a hat. 意为：爸爸在外面干活从来没有不戴帽子的。
6. Papa never worked outside without a hat. 意为：爸爸在外面干活从来没有不戴帽子的。由此可知，他总是戴着同一个帽子。wore是wear的过去式，强调穿衣的状态，最合题意。
7. 从本句的意义可以看出，He never pushed the hat to one side of his head. 他从来不把帽子推到一边歪戴着。push…to one side意为“把……推到一边”。
8. 从前一句可知，他总是把帽子戴的正正直直的。由此可以看出爸爸戴帽子的方式，不是把帽檐压得很低，而是full and high。push…down意为“把……压低，按下去”。
9. 由上句He wore his hat full and high.很容易推断出爸爸之所以把帽子带得那么正直，可能是想看起来更高一点。其他三个系动词虽然后面接形容词作表语，但语义上不当。
10. 全文第1题He was 1of the way he dressed.直接暗示出本题为相似句，为原词再现考点，所以答案为way符合上下文的语境和定语从句的语法用法。
11. 前面交代，爸爸在外面干活从来没有不戴帽子的。由此可知，他对于帽子的钟爱程度，所以可以推断出即使是妈妈也不允许（permit）动他的帽子。forbid禁止；promise答应，允诺；advise建议。
12. 从本句的逻辑意义来看，She began to believe that papa would lose his hair if he always wore the heavy wool hat. 她开始相信如果爸爸总是戴着厚厚的羊绒帽，爸爸就可能脱发。再从下文也可以看出妈妈开始担心爸爸的头发了。
13. 解析见上题。upset通常用be upset about构成搭配，此时upset（生气地，难过的）为形容词，而作动词时为及物动词，不要介词about；concern为及物动词时，表示“关心”之意，但不要介词，而用作名词时，搭配为express/show concern about表示对……的关切，而wander about意思为“在周围走来走去”，明显不符。
14. 从本句的意义来看，一天，妈妈起得比往常都早。形成的是与以往作比较，而common普通的，normal正常的，average平均的，三者均不符合意义和语境。
15. 下一句意思为：妈妈回来买了一顶稻草帽。本题可以从全文的最后一句He opened the stove, pulled the straw hat off his head and pushed it deep down into the fire. 可直接得出答案。
16. 本题考查定语从句的关系词，从the field看明显表示地点，所以只有where才符合。
17. 从本句后半部分…, raising their front feet.和wildly，screamed，raced均可知马受到惊吓而空中跳起，提起前腿。
18. 从本句的逻辑意义可以看出，Suddenly, they jumped high into the air, raising their front feet. 而下句中的wildly in the field暗示它们在田里四处跑 (run around)，最后才raced toward the barn where they slept。
19. 从前面马群的表现来看，它们一定吓坏了。terrified意思为“惊恐的”。其他三个形容词均不符合，其中surprising应该用surprised方可。
20. 从后面爸爸的举动来看，爸爸一定非常生气，所以此处选择angrily。
