【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要記述了馬克吐溫小時候挨了兩次揍，掙了五美元的故事。

1.結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是馬克吐溫是個著名的作家。根據(jù)首字母可知填形容詞famous，著名的，做定語。

2.聯(lián)系后一句描述，可知此處他的父親問的是他是否記得他曾經(jīng)賺的第一筆錢。根據(jù)情態(tài)動詞could及首字母，可知填原形動詞remember，記得。

3.聯(lián)系下文，可知他記得關(guān)于此事的每個細(xì)節(jié)，根據(jù)首字母可知填 不定代詞everything，每件事。

4.聯(lián)系后一句描述，可知此處指的是不關(guān)心學(xué)校財產(chǎn)。短語take care of關(guān)心，照顧。根據(jù)首字母可知填care，關(guān)懷，照料。

5.聯(lián)系上下文，可知前后是因果關(guān)系，后面表示結(jié)果，根據(jù)首字母可知填連詞So，因此，我們學(xué)校制定了一條規(guī)定……

6.聯(lián)系前文描述，可知此處指的是賠償五美元。本句中to是不定式符號，后面動詞用原形，根據(jù)首字母可知填pay，付款，償還。

7.聯(lián)系前文描述，可知此處指的是在全校面前挨打，根據(jù)首字母可知填形容詞whole，整個的。

8.聯(lián)系下文，可知此處指的是在給我錢之前。本句中before是介詞，后面接名詞作賓語，根據(jù)首字母可知填動名詞giving，給。

9.聯(lián)系下文可知此處指的是我決定再挨一次揍。結(jié)合語境可知本句描述的是過去發(fā)生的動作，故用一般過去時態(tài)。根據(jù)首字母可知填過去式動詞decided，決定。

10.結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是把這五美元留給自己。根據(jù)首字母可知填反身代詞myself，我自己。

考點(diǎn)：短文中詞匯短語的運(yùn)用能力

點(diǎn)評：首字母一直是英語考試中的難點(diǎn)，得分率比較低。解答此類題型的方法一般就是根據(jù)文章前后句子之間意思推斷出詞義，并結(jié)合首字母推斷出所缺單詞，然后根據(jù)該單詞在句子中的句子成分，所起作用，確定單詞詞形，進(jìn)行適當(dāng)詞形變化。注意動詞，名詞等一般要有詞形變化，注意主謂語數(shù)的一致問題。而介詞則沒有詞形變化。在敘事性短文中，謂語動詞多為一般過去時態(tài)及現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)，說明性短文中謂語動詞多為一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)。
