解析
【主旨大意】本篇短文讲述的是一个学生骑马上学的事情。短文详细叙述了这个学生选择骑马上学的全过程。
小题1: 下文句意提示该生上学的方式与上文提供的方式有点不同，用differently 表达。
小题1: 介词since 和名词the beginning 连用，表示“自开学之初”。
小题1:形容街道拥挤用形容词crowded表达，busy 用来修饰traffic。
小题1:考查上下文意义对应。下文他父亲的话提示骑马上学这个主意来自他的父亲。
小题1:根据他父亲提建议这一语言环境，可知用情态动词should。
小题1:副词even“甚至”提示空格处用动词allow, allow sb to do sth 意为“允许某人做某事”。
小题1: 因为选择的是“僻静的街道”，所以应为“更少”，用few 修饰可数名词，下文than 提示用比较级形式。
小题1: 通过even now 和下句意义，可知“他仍然继续骑马上学”，continue to do sth “继续干某事”。
小题1:句意表示转折，“原来他害怕，但现在…”，用连词but 表达。
小题1:是“骑马”这件事和其它事情相比，不是我和其他人相比。用anything else 表示“任何其它事情。”
