【1】句意：去把马蹄铁捡起来放进你的包里。考查动词短语辨析题。A. give up放弃；B. put up张贴；C. pick up捡起；D. take up占用。根据下文His father said nothing but picked it up himself.，可知选C。

【2】句意：当他们到达附近的城镇时，他们休息了一会儿。考查动词短语辨析题。A. got on上车；B. got to到达；C. got off下车；D. got down下来。a nearby town附近的小镇，是一个地点；根据句意语境，可知got to符合句意，故选B。

【7】句意：于是他们继续赶路。考查动词短语辨析题。A. carried on经营；B. turned on打开（水、电视、收音机、灯、煤气等）；C. went on继续；D. worked on继续工作。根据句意语境，可知他们父子接着赶路，ABC三个选项意思都与句意不符，故选D。
