【解析】

作者根據(jù)自己的經(jīng)歷，告訴我們：當我們承諾做某事時，我們應(yīng)該記得遵守諾言。

【1】句意：周末期間，他回家與家人共度時光。

schoolnights上學(xué)的晚上；weekend周末；weekdays平日，工作日。結(jié)合文章“他上學(xué)的地方離家遠”以及選項可知，湯姆不可能上學(xué)期間晚上回家，也不是平日回家，而是周末回家。故選B。

【2】句意：在家的時候，湯姆承諾要做一些雜務(wù)，例如倒垃圾和拖地。

chores雜務(wù)；homework家庭作業(yè)；washing洗。根據(jù)文中的“taking out the rubbish and sweeping the floor”可知，湯姆在家做雜務(wù)活。故選A。

【3】句意：當湯姆的媽媽愛麗絲看到留在家里的垃圾時，她有點生氣。

books書；rubbish垃圾；clothes衣服。根據(jù)后文湯姆的媽媽把垃圾以包裹的形式寄給湯姆，可知這里是湯姆的媽媽看到留在家里的垃圾。故選B。

【4】句意：她沒有在電話里對兒子大喊大叫，而是選擇了一種創(chuàng)造性的方式告訴他，她對他懶惰的感受。

laughing at嘲笑；caring for關(guān)心，照顧；shouting at大喊，大叫。根據(jù)下文媽媽以包裹的形式寄給了湯姆�？芍獘寢寷]有在電話里對湯姆大喊大叫，去指責他沒有倒垃圾。故選C。

【5】句意：湯姆以為他的媽媽給他寄了一包好吃的東西。

found發(fā)現(xiàn)；told告訴；thought認為。后文湯姆打開包裹發(fā)現(xiàn)是自己承諾要帶出去的垃圾，以及下文“因為我期待的是食物”。可知空格上是湯姆認為（thought）他媽媽給他寄了一包好吃的東西。故選C。

【6】句意：當我意識到這是垃圾時，我很失望，因為我期待是食物。

upset失望的，沮喪的；surprised驚奇的；excited感到興奮的。根據(jù)后文說湯姆期待的是食物，打開是發(fā)現(xiàn)是垃圾�？赏茰y湯姆應(yīng)該是失望的。故選A。

【7】句意：但是我也意識到我沒有遵守諾言。

broken斷掉的；kept遵守；made制作。根據(jù)but的轉(zhuǎn)折，可知作者意識到了沒有遵守諾言，根據(jù)keep one’s promise“遵守諾言”。故選B。

【8】句意：她就像我最好的朋友之一，我們可以開幾天的玩笑。

argue爭論；joke開玩笑；study學(xué)習。前句談到了媽媽是我最好的朋友之一，可推測句子說的應(yīng)該是他們之間可以開玩笑。故選B。

【9】句意：但是當她認真的時候，她就認真了。

and和；but但是；so因此。前文談到的時候媽媽就像最好的朋友可以開玩笑；空格后談到的是當媽媽認真的時候，這樣把垃圾以包裹的形式寄給作者，作者也不奇怪。前后是存在著轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故選B。

【10】句意：湯姆補充說，他也從這次經(jīng)歷中學(xué)到了寶貴的一課。

strange奇怪的；bad糟糕的；valuable有價值的。根據(jù)空格后的句子“When you promise to do something, you should always remember to keep your promise, or the rubbish will come back to you sooner or later.”可推測，作者應(yīng)該是從這次經(jīng)歷中學(xué)到了寶貴的一課。故選C。

聯(lián)系上下文是做完形填空題目常用的方法，這樣使我們得出的答案更準確。比如本題中的第六題和第八題答案的獲取就是這樣得出的。第六題答案upset的獲取就是通過后文的句子“because I expected food!”得到的。因為此句子是期待收到的是食物而包裹里卻是垃圾，故答案是upset“失望的”；第八小題答案joke的獲取就是通過前文的句子“She’s like one of my best friends”而得到的。就是因為前文說的媽媽就是他的好朋友，才會有空格上的答案joke（開玩笑）。
