专题05 阅读理解一 2022-2023学年八年级英语下学期期末抢分题型专练（人教新目标） 一、阅读单选 A young man went to a farm and asked for a job. When the old farmer asked what the young man could do to help the farm, he just said, “I can sleep when the wind blows.” This short answer puzzled the farmer. But he liked the young man and hired (雇佣) him anyway. Everything went well until one night when there was a heavy storm. The old farmer and his wife quickly woke up and started checking to see if everything was safe. The farmer and his wife checked their property (财产). They found that the farm tools had been put away safely in storage (仓库). The tractor (拖拉机) was parked in the garage (车库). They found that the doors of the farmhouse were closed. The barn (谷仓) was properly locked (锁上). Even the animals were calm. All was well. After checking everything, they went to the young man’s room and found that he was sleeping. The farmer and his wife then understood the meaning of the young man’s words — “I can sleep when the wind blows.” Because the young man finished all of his work while the skies were clear, he was prepared for the storm before it broke. So when the wind blew, he was not afraid. He could sleep in peace. 1．Which of the following words can replace (代替) the underlined (划线的) words “puzzled”?
