【解析】

本篇講述杰克的爸爸從非洲給他帶回一只不知名的蛋，他們把它放在一個(gè)籃子里，用棉花蓋著，把它放在暖氣片旁邊，結(jié)果孵化出一只鱷魚，杰克的同學(xué)和記者都來看。

【1】句意：他們把它放在一個(gè)籃子里，用棉花蓋著，把它放在暖氣片旁邊。

空格在介詞with后面，判斷填名詞；根據(jù)下文“a small ugly creature stayed there Quietly” 小鱷魚的出生推斷空格是指“用棉花蓋著，把它放在暖氣片旁邊”，準(zhǔn)備孵化，故選B。

【2】句意：它擱在那兒很長一段很長時(shí)間。

空格是句子的謂語，判斷填動(dòng)詞；根據(jù)上文“covered it with cotton and laid it beside the warm radiator” 蓋上棉花把它擱在暖氣片旁邊，推斷此處是“擱在那兒很長一段時(shí)間”，故選D。

【3】句意：一天，杰克發(fā)現(xiàn)籃子里一個(gè)空蛋殼，在暖氣片下面黑暗的角落，一只小小的難看的生物安靜地呆在那兒。

空格在定冠詞和名詞之間，判斷填形容詞；根據(jù)常識(shí)，暖氣片下面是“黑暗的”，故選C。

【4】句意：杰克的同學(xué)還有報(bào)紙的記者都來看他的寵物鱷魚。

Jack’s classmates 和newspaper reporters 都是名詞，當(dāng)句子的主語，判斷空格用連詞；as well as常用來連接兩個(gè)并列的成分，意為“也，還”，它強(qiáng)調(diào)的是前一項(xiàng)，后一項(xiàng)只是順便提及，謂語動(dòng)詞與前一項(xiàng)一致；故選E。
