本文講述了四個男孩因為在墻壁上亂寫亂畫被懲罰清理一個星期的墻壁，在最后一天完成清理工作后，門衛(wèi)語重心長地對他們說了一番話，他們從此再也不在墻上亂寫亂畫了。

【1】句意：你們今天在墻上寫字導(dǎo)致我們學(xué)校的門衛(wèi)要做許多工作。

kept保持；found發(fā)現(xiàn)；caused導(dǎo)致；listed列清單。根據(jù)前文Four boys sat in the headmaster's office, waiting for their punishment及by writing on the walls，可知，四個男孩因為在墻上亂寫亂畫而受到懲罰，因為他們的亂寫亂畫導(dǎo)致了學(xué)校門衛(wèi)繁重的工作，表示過去發(fā)生的動作對現(xiàn)在造成的影響，句子用現(xiàn)在完成時have done的結(jié)構(gòu)，所以空格處填caused。故選C。

【2】句意：你們每天放學(xué)后清理墻壁，持續(xù)一星期。

windows玻璃；walls墻；roads馬路；floors地板。根據(jù)前文You have caused a lot of work for our janitor by writing on the walls today. But he won't do the cleaning，可知，男孩今天在墻壁上亂涂亂畫，導(dǎo)致了學(xué)校門衛(wèi)繁重的工作，而門衛(wèi)不會去做清理工作，作為懲罰，男孩要每天放學(xué)后去清理墻壁，所以空格處填walls。故選B。

【3】句意：那天放學(xué)后，男孩們?nèi)ラT衛(wèi)的辦公室拿工具，開始他們的清理工作。

finished完成；continued繼續(xù)；stopped停止；began開始。根據(jù)上文You boys will clean the walls every day after school for a week，可知，男孩們被懲罰每天放學(xué)后去清理墻壁，所以放學(xué)后他們開始清理工作，表述過去發(fā)生的事情，句子用一般過去時，所以空格處填began。故選D。

【4】句意：在最后一天，當他們最后完成工作，轉(zhuǎn)身離開時，門衛(wèi)說：“嘿，男孩們，讓我告訴你們一些事情�！�

usually通常；finally最后；possibly可能地；especially尤其是。根據(jù)前文You boys will clean the walls every day after school for a week及on the last day，可知，男孩們被懲罰清理一周的墻壁，這天是最后一天，所以空格處所在句子表示“當他們最后完成工作，轉(zhuǎn)身離開時”，故空格處填finally。故選B。

【5】句意：門衛(wèi)說：“嘿，男孩們，讓我告訴你們一些事情。”

nothing沒什么事情；anything任何事情；something某些事情；everything一切事物。根據(jù)下文In the country where I grew up…was a big thing，可知，門衛(wèi)開始跟男孩們說一些事情，從句意上排除A和D選項。anything用于否定句和疑問句，當表示“任何事情”時，可用于肯定句；something用于肯定句，當表示請求或建議時，可用于疑問句。原句是肯定句，所以空格處填something。故選C。

【6】句意：在我長大的那個鄉(xiāng)下，我們幾乎沒有學(xué)校。

schools學(xué)校；banks銀行；libraries圖書館；factories工廠。根據(jù)下文We hardly had books or teachers“我們幾乎沒有書或老師”，可知，此空格處所在句子表示“我們幾乎沒有學(xué)�！�，所以空格處填schools。故選A。

【7】句意：甚至得到一個新鉛筆都是一件大事。

raise提高；break打破；get得到；make制造。In the country where I grew up, we had few schools. We hardly had books or teachers，可知，門衛(wèi)長大的鄉(xiāng)下，幾乎沒有學(xué)校，也沒有書和老師，可見門衛(wèi)長大的地方很貧窮，所以空格處表示“甚至得到一個新鉛筆都是一件大事”，故空格處填get。故選C。

【8】句意：對一個人來說，外表很重要，但是內(nèi)在做了所有的工作。

or或者，表選擇關(guān)系；but但是，表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系；so所以，表因果關(guān)系；unless除非，引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句。根據(jù)前文there is the point on the outside“外表很重要”, 后文it's what's in the inside that does all the work“內(nèi)在做了所有的工作”，可知，這里是把鉛筆比作人，外表很重要，但是內(nèi)心才起決定作用，前后文表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以空格處填but。故選B。

【9】句意：從現(xiàn)在開始，不要把你的印記留在墻上，把你的印記留在生活中。

instead of 而不是；according to根據(jù)；because of因為；as for關(guān)于。根據(jù)上文A pencil is a lot like a person. For a person, there is the point on the outside, but it's what's in the inside that does all the work，可知，門衛(wèi)用鉛筆比作人的方式來給男孩們講道理，外表雖重要，但是內(nèi)心才起決定作用，告訴男孩們，要把印記留在生活中而不是留在墻上，所以空格處填instead of。故選A。

【10】句意：用自己的內(nèi)心書寫出自己的人生故事。

name名字；story故事；mistake錯誤；number號碼。根據(jù)前文A pencil is a lot like a person… leave your mark on life，可知，門衛(wèi)把鉛筆比作人，告訴男孩們外表雖重要，但是內(nèi)心才起決定作用，要把印記留在生活中而不是留在墻上。這里是門衛(wèi)對男孩們的期望，希望他們能用自己內(nèi)心來寫出自己的人生故事，所以空格處填story。故選B。
