2021年秋季江南大学网络教育英语入学测试模拟题及答案4

1. It was just pumpkins (南瓜) we were looking for that October Saturday. We were searching for pumpkins that we could carve into fantastic jack-o’-lanterns. We wanted lots of them to decorate our front door.

My brother Tim and I went to the store where we usually get pumpkins every year. They said they only had some baby ones that were too small to carve. Now what would we do? We went home, wondering if Mom or Dad would have any ideas. Dad said he would take us for a ride to see if a roadside vegetable stand had some pumpkins.

So we piled into the car and drove out of town. The vegetable stand Dad remembered wasn’t there! And we didn’t see any others, either. By that time, you can imagine how Tim and I felt. Maybe we wouldn’t have any jack-o’-lanterns this year.

I guess Mom knew the minute she saw us that we had been unsuccessful. But she said we should all just come with her. This time she drove. She seemed to know exactly where she was going.

As she turned the car into the parking lot of City Hall, we saw a farmers’ market. Wow! This is where all the farmers brought their vegetables! There were thousands of pumpkins. Huge ones, tiny ones, medium-sized ones. We’d never seen so many pumpkins to choose from!

We used some of our own money on the biggest one we’d ever had. We got some ordinary-sized ones, too. Even Dad and Mom helped carve them. We had so much fun. And our front door is now a fantastic sight!
