a. it isn’t far from his old garage, so he doesn’t need one
b. he has twelve pigeons

根据课文底第3行but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage判断，只有c. He cant get one 是对的。

2. Mr. Scott keeps pigeons because ______ .
a. he uses them to send messages   b. it’s his hobby
c. he has two garages             d. he likes them
选a
根据课文内容，养鸽子的目的是为了传递信息，只有a. he uses them to send messages与课文的意思相同，而其他3个选择都没有这种含义。

3. Mr. Scott has a garage. The garage is _______ .
a. to him       b. of him       c. of his        d. his
选 d
d. his 既可以做所有格形容词又可以做所有格代词，意思是他的，相当于一个名词，本句只有选d，句子The garage is his才符合语法。

4. Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his garage. ______ he has just bought twelve pigeions.
a. That’s so     b. That’s why   c. Because      d. For
选 b
a. that's so（真的，是那样）；c. because（由于，因为）常用来引导原因状语从句；d.for（由于……的缘故，因为）用于提出证据或说明。本句只有选b. That's why（这就是为什么）才可以说明理由，与前一句构成因果关系，而其他3个选择都不符合逻辑。

5. He has just bought twelve pigeons. When did he _______ them?
a. bought       b. buys        c. buy          d. buying
选 c
本句是一般过去时的疑问句，句中已经给出助动词did，只需要填一个动词原形即可。只有c. buy 是 动词原形，其他3个都不是。

6. What’s the distance from Pinhurst to Silbury? How ______ is Pinhurst ______ Silbury?
a. long ago … until   b. long … way    c. away … till    d. far … from
选 d
本句是针对距离的远近来提问的。a. long ago... until 不是说明距离的，long ago从不和until连用；b. long …away 是说明距离的，但应该是long…away from…；c. away…till 中away 不应该和till连用，不符合习惯用法，从意义上讲不通；只有d. far…from （离……远）是说明距离远近的，符合英语中惯用法，所以选d。

7. The pigeon flew from one garage to the other _______ three minutes.
