【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。讲述作者小时候去海边度假的经历，现在作者已经35岁了，但作者仍然喜欢小时候的假期，有时会想象老了以后的理想假期。

1.句意：我的父母带我乘火车或小汽车到海边的宾馆。

考查名词。sea海；lake湖；mountain山；river河。由下文“watched the tide”观潮可推断，应该在海边。故选A。

2.句意：我似乎记得我和激动的陌生小孩在沙滩上玩了一整天。

考查形容词。moved感动的；excited激动的；surprised惊奇的；nervous紧张的。由上文“I played on the sands all day”可推断，孩子到了海边之后心情很激动，应是与激动的小孩子在一起玩了一整天。故选B。

3.句意：我们做了房子和花园，然后看着浪潮破坏他们。

考查动词。take带走；bring拿来；clean打扫；destroy破坏。结合语境，海浪应冲毁了孩子们做好的房子和花园。故选D。

4.句意：当浪潮退去，我们爬上岩石低头看岩石池塘里的鱼。

考查介词。through通过；over在上方；off脱离；across表面穿过。根据下文“looked down at the fish in the rock— pools”可知，我们应是爬上岩石在高处低头看。故选B。

5.句意：那些天太阳似乎总是明亮地照耀着，水也总是温暖的。

考查连词。and和；yet仍然；but但是；or否则。根据上文“the sun seemed to shine always brightly”太阳明亮地照耀着和下文“the water was always warm”水也总是温暖的可知，前后应为顺承关系。故选A。

6.句意：有时我们会离开沙滩在乡间散步，探索破败的房子和黑暗的树林，爬树。

考查动词。exploring探索；looking看；watching观看；seeing看到。根据下文“ruined houses and dark woods”可知，我们是去玩探险游戏，探索未知的事物。故选A。

7.句意：某个小朋友的口袋里会有糖果或者有个好地方能买到冰淇淋。

考查动词。make制造；sell卖；buy买；offer提供。结合语境，对于小孩子应该是能买到冰淇淋的好地方。故选C。

8.句意：虽然我已经35岁了，但我的好假期理想和过去一样。

考查连词。Although虽然；Since由于；Because因为；Afterwards毕竟。根据下文我的好假期想法和之前一样，结合“I am now thirty-five years old”可知，应是虽然我已经35岁了。故选A。

9.句意：我仍然喜欢阳光和温暖的沙子。

考查副词。hardly几乎不；almost几乎；still仍然；perhaps可能。根据上文“much the same as it was”和过去一样可知，我对阳光和沙子仍然喜欢。故选C。

10.句意：海浪击打岩石的声音。

考查名词。waves海浪；wind风；hands手；feet脚。根据句意可知，此处应为海浪拍打岩石发出的声音。故选A。

11.句意：我不再希望用沙子造房子和花园，我也不喜欢糖果了。

考查动词。destroy毁坏；fix修理；use使用；make制造。结合第一段我小时候在海边用沙子搭建房子和花园以及第三段第一句我如今已经35岁了可知，我现在不会再用沙子造房子和花园了。故选D。

12.句意：但我仍然喜欢大海，经常能感觉沙子从我指间流过。

考查连词。But但是；However然而；Otherwise否则；Besides另外。根据上文“I dislike sweets”和下文“I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.”可知，应为转折关系，排除C、D；又因该连词位于句首，且有逗号与其他句子成分隔开，应用However。故选B。

13.句意：我有时想知道当我老的时候我的理想假期是什么样的。

考查形容词。strong强壮的；weak虚弱的；young年轻的；old老的。根据前文“I wonder what my ideal holiday will be like”可知，我在想将来理想假期的样子，这种期待还未发生，所以应是在年老的时候。故选D。

14.句意：可能，我想做的事情就是躺在床上，读一下关于孩子们用沙子造房子和花园的书。

考查名词。children孩子；boys男孩；girls女孩；grown— ups成人。结合第一段作者童年在海滩的经历和下文“who make houses and gardens with sands”可知，用沙子造房子和花园应该是孩子们做的事。故选A。

15.句意：吃太多冰淇淋使他们自己生病。

考查形容词。happy开心的；tired疲倦的；sad悲伤的；sick生病的。根据下文“too many ices creams”可推断，吃太多冰淇淋应该是让孩子们生病。故选D。
