【解析】

1.：walked“步行”；took a bus“坐公共汽车”；caught a car“打车”；on foot“步行”。分析短文可知，句子“He always walked to school and walked home.”的意思是“他总是步行上学并且步行回家。” 题干中缺少动词，故答案为A。

2.two classrooms的意思是“两个教室”； a shop的意思是“一个商店”；a school的意思是“一个学校”；a playground的意思是“一个操场”，句子“On his way to school, he had to pass a playground.”的意思是“在他上学的路上，他必须路过一个操场。” 所以答案为D。

3.when it snowed的意思是“当天下雪的时候”； when there was some water there的意思是“当那儿有些水时”；when the children played football there的意思是“当孩子们在那儿踢足球时”；when his father was busy with his work的意思是“当他的爸爸忙于工作时”，分析整篇短文内容可知，Bruno喜欢玩水，所以当操场上有水时，小男孩喜欢在那儿玩。故答案为B。

4.句子I’ll tell your father if you come back wet again,” said his mother. “He’ll punish(惩罚)you, you know.”的意思是“如果你再湿着回来，我将告诉你的爸爸，”他的妈妈说。“你知道他将惩罚你。”所以答案为A。

5.句子“There were too many older boys in the water when I got there this afternoon. There wasn’t any room for me at all!”的意思是“当我今天下午到达那儿的时候，水里有太多的大男孩们。根本就没有我的地方了。”所以答案为A。
