【解析】

文章講述了作者班上的學生Brent，雖然成績不優(yōu)秀，但是積極地學習，為實現(xiàn)目標而努力的故事。從而說明有的時候，我們做一件事情可能不會很優(yōu)秀，但是它們合起來就可能是一件令人感到驚訝的事情了。

【1】句意：但我擔心頒獎日。

expected期待；celebrated慶祝；feared害怕；remembered記住；根據句意理解及后句I worried about Brent. He just didn’t do so well as some of his classmates我擔心布倫特。他只是不如他的一些同學做的好�？芍�這里表達的是擔心頒獎日的到來。故選C。

【2】句意：雖然我有一班優(yōu)秀的學生，但我擔心布倫特。

Unless除非；Although雖然；If如果；As當……時；根據句意理解可知，句中a class of excellent students和I worried about Brent. He just didn't so well as some of his classmates的意思相反，所以although符合語境。故選B。

【3】句意：盡管布倫特的成績可能被認為是正常的，但他遠遠沒有達到這個水平。

height高度；weight重量；strengths力量；grades成績；根據句意理解及文中He just didn’t do so well as some of his classmates可知，Brent的“成績”一般。故選D。

【4】句意：他沒有輕易放棄。

difficultly困難地；easily容易地；carefully仔細地；finally最后；根據句意理解及文中If his math grade fell down a bit, he’d work to get it higher可知，Brent不會輕言放棄，所以easily比較符合題意。故選B。

【5】句意：如果在周中他的拼寫測試沒過，那么周五之前，他一定會通過的。

take拿；stand站立；pass通過；give給；根據句意理解及句中的failed及前句He didn’t give up___4___.可知，這里表達的是“通過”，所以這里應該用pass，故選C。

【6】句意：其他的學生們會盡力做得比別人好，爭取超過他人。

higher更高的；stronger更強壯的；wiser更明智的；better更好的；根據句意理解可知，這里表達的是“更好的”，所以這里應該用better更加合適，故選D。

【7】句意：布倫特的唯一競爭對手是他自己。

me我；himself他自己；him他；her她；根據句意理解及前句Unlike the other students who would often tried to be “____6____” than others可知，這里表達的是“他自己”，暗示他很難超過別人，所以應該用himself，故選B。

【8】句意：但他從未停止過努力實現(xiàn)這個目標。

decision決定；goal目標；agreement同意；place地方；根據句意理解及文中his goal for the whole year was the AB Honor List和although he’d never made the honor list可知，Brent整年的目標就是進入“AB榮譽榜”，盡管他從沒有實現(xiàn)過，但他不放棄這個目標。故選B。

【9】句意：當他把注意力集中在一個科目上時，另一個科目就有點下滑。

depended依靠；agreed同意；decided決定；focused集中；根據句意理解可知，這里表達的是“集中”，英語是focus，意思是把精力集中在一個科目上。故選D。

【10】句意：他跳起來興奮地喊道。

rudely粗魯地；excitedly興奮地；doubtfully懷疑地；impatiently不耐煩的；根據句意理解及文中His eyes lit up.他的眼睛亮了�？芍�Brent實現(xiàn)了自己的目標，激動地蹦了起來。故選B。
