【解析】这篇短文讲述了作者去年五一开车去农村度假，他们本来打算在一个美丽的山上野餐，但是没想到突然刮风、下雨，他们就这样度过了一个糟糕的假期。

1.细节理解题。根据短文第一段中During the holidays，trains，buses and planes are all very busy．It is very hard to buy train tickets or air tickets．Many people take cars or buses for travelling．可知，因为假期的时候，火车、公交车和飞机都非常的忙，很难买到票，所以很多人都选择开车或乘坐公交车去旅行。由此可知D选项符合文意。

2.细节理解题。根据短文第二段中Last May Day my family went to the country by car for our holidays可知，去年五一，作者一家人开车去农村度假。由此可知选A。

3.细节理解题。根据短文第二段中It took us about an hour to get out of the town可知，由于路上交通拥挤，作者花费了大约一个小时才走出镇子。由此可知选B。

4.推理判断题。根据短文第二段中After some time，we came to a hill．It was green and beautiful．We thought this was a good place for a picnic可知，作者来到一座山，那里风景很美，他们觉得那是一个野餐的好地方。由此可知，作者是打算在农村去野餐，故应选C。

5.细节理解题。根据短文的最后Suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain．We had to run back to our car and had our picnic in the car． Then we drove back home．What a bad holiday!可知，作者在野餐的时候，突然刮风了，而且开始下雨，他们不得不回到了车上，所以这是一个很糟糕的假期，作者会感到很不开心的。故选C。
