【解析】

本文主要講述了Jane快要參加考試，因?yàn)榫o張不能入睡就喝了安眠藥，在夢(mèng)中她考的很失敗，什么都不會(huì)，傷心的哭了起來(lái)，后來(lái)就被姐姐叫醒了，發(fā)現(xiàn)這是一個(gè)噩夢(mèng)。

【1】句意：如果不通過(guò)，他們將不得不在九月重考。

prepare準(zhǔn)備；miss錯(cuò)過(guò)；join加入；pass通過(guò)。根據(jù)空后“they would have to retake them in September. 他們將不得不在九月重考�！笨芍�，此處是如果他們不通過(guò)。故選D。

【2】句意：通常會(huì)有一些人失敗，但簡(jiǎn)不想成為其中的一員

succeeded成功；failed失��；ended結(jié)束；called叫。根據(jù)后面的“but Jane didn’t want to be one of them.”，可知是Jane不想成為失敗中的一員。故選B。

【3】句意：她一整年都很努力，但就在考試前，她學(xué)習(xí)如此努力以致于姐姐芭芭拉很擔(dān)心她。

but但是；so所以；and 并且；because因?yàn)�。根�?jù)句意，前后形成對(duì)比，全句語(yǔ)境為她已刻苦學(xué)習(xí)整整一年， 可是臨考前還得努力，所以用表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的but。故選A。

【4】句意：她已刻苦學(xué)習(xí)整整一年，但就在考試前，她學(xué)習(xí)如此努力以致于姐姐芭芭拉很擔(dān)心她。

excited興奮的；frightened害怕的；worried擔(dān)心的；pleased高興的。根據(jù)前文“She had worked hard all year, 她已刻苦學(xué)習(xí)整整一年，”以及后面說(shuō)吃安眠藥，依據(jù)這種邏輯，結(jié)合空前的be，可知是be worried about固定短語(yǔ)，was worried about her擔(dān)心她。故選C。

【5】句意：她上床睡覺(jué)太晚。

early早的；late晚的；heavily沉重地；eagerly渴望地。從下句的“…she have an early night…”可推知，臨近考試她睡得很遲。故選B。

【6】句意：第一次考試的前一天晚上，芭芭拉堅(jiān)持要她早睡并吃安眠藥。

sleeping睡覺(jué)的；resting休息的；exciting興奮的；breathing呼吸的。根據(jù)后句“She promised to wake her up in the morning.她答應(yīng)在第二天早上叫醒她”和第三段第一句“As she was falling asleep, Jane was afraid that she might oversleep(睡過(guò)頭).”可知這里指吃“安眠藥”。故選A。

【7】句意：她的大腦不停地從一個(gè)主題跳到另一個(gè)主題。

hand手；eye眼睛；mind大腦；body身體。根據(jù)后面“kept jumping from subject to subject”可知這是思維活動(dòng)，而思維活動(dòng)應(yīng)該是在大腦中進(jìn)行。故選C。

【8】句意：最后，在藥物的幫助下，她終于睡著了。

her sister她姐姐；her parents她父母；the lessons課程；the medicine藥物。根據(jù)第二段的“Barbara insisted(堅(jiān)持) that she have an early night and take a ___6___ pill.”可知，之前吃了安眠藥，Jane后來(lái)終于睡著了，這說(shuō)明之前吃的“安眠藥”起了作用。故選D。

【9】句意：很快，她就坐在考場(chǎng)里，看著試卷，但她一個(gè)問(wèn)題都答不上來(lái)。

result結(jié)果；marks成績(jī)；desk桌子；paper紙，試卷。根據(jù)后面的“she couldn’t answer any of the questions.她答不出任何問(wèn)題”及“__10__ around her was writing pages and pages.”可知她看的是“試卷”。故選D。

【10】句意：她周?chē)�的每個(gè)人都在寫(xiě)一頁(yè)又一頁(yè)的答試卷。

The teacher老師們；The students學(xué)生們；No one沒(méi)有人；Everyone每個(gè)人。根據(jù)后面的“was writing pages and pages.”動(dòng)詞用的was writing，可知主語(yǔ)是單數(shù)形式，A和B選項(xiàng)排除；而C選項(xiàng)說(shuō)在考試時(shí)沒(méi)人答題， 不符合場(chǎng)景，故排除，她周?chē)�的每個(gè)人everyone around her符合語(yǔ)境。故選D。

【11】句意：盡管她努力想，但還是想不到任何東西可以寫(xiě)。

If如果；Though雖然；So所以；How怎樣。根據(jù)后面的“she thought hard,”與“she couldn’t find anything to write about.”之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，可知用though。故選B。

【12】句意：她一直在看她的手表。

watch手表；textbook課本；sister姐姐，妹妹；subject科目。根據(jù)后面“Time was running out時(shí)間正在耗盡”，可知她在看表。故選A。

【13】句意：她開(kāi)始答一個(gè)問(wèn)題，寫(xiě)了兩句話，然后放棄了，又試了另一個(gè)。

gave up放棄；put off推遲；look around環(huán)顧四周；think over仔細(xì)考慮。根據(jù)空前“She started one question, wrote two sentences,”與后面的“and tried another one.”，可知一題未做完又做下一題，說(shuō)明暫時(shí)放棄了前一題。故選A。

【14】句意：那時(shí)她是如此擔(dān)心以致于開(kāi)始哭起來(lái)。

examining檢查；leaving離開(kāi)；copying復(fù)制，抄襲；crying哭泣。從上文可知Jane非常重視這次考試，為此她刻苦學(xué)習(xí)了一年，而考試時(shí)卻一敗涂地，因此她焦急、傷心，空處填“哭泣”符合語(yǔ)境。故選D。

【15】句意：她還在床上，這一切都是一個(gè)可怕的夢(mèng)。

nice好的；wonderful美妙的；terrible糟糕的；special特別的。根據(jù)前文可知身體的劇烈晃動(dòng)，導(dǎo)致她從睡夢(mèng)中醒來(lái)，通過(guò)前文這個(gè)夢(mèng)的描述可知，自己重視的考試沒(méi)能考好，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，這是一個(gè)“可怕”的夢(mèng)。故選C。
