【解析】

這篇短文講述了作者小時候的經(jīng)歷，他從很小就學(xué)會了，如果想要什么東西，你就要大聲叫喊，發(fā)出你自己的聲音。

【1】句意：我總是大聲的哭，讓鄰居們以為她要殺了我。hope 希望；see 看到；think 認為，想；understand理解。根據(jù)句意可知，作者的媽媽要打他的時候，他總是大聲的哭喊，目的是讓鄰居們以為他的媽媽要殺了他，故應(yīng)選C。

【2】句意：例如，如果她表現(xiàn)得好像要對我舉起她的手，我就會張開我的嘴巴，讓世界都知道。raise提高，抬起；show展示；pass通過；hold持有，控制；舉辦。根據(jù)上文My mother was the one who always beat me.可知，作者的媽媽總是打他，所以這里是媽媽抬起手想要打他的時候，故應(yīng)選A。

【3】句意：例如，如果她表現(xiàn)得好像要對我舉起她的手，我就會張開我的嘴巴，讓世界都知道。door 門；window 窗戶；eyes眼睛；mouth嘴。根據(jù)上文My mother was the one who always beat me. I always cried loudly to可知，媽媽在打他的時候，他會大聲地哭喊，所以這里應(yīng)該是張開嘴大喊，故選D。

【4】句意：如果有人正好在外面的路上經(jīng)過，她就會要么改變主意，要么就輕輕地打我?guī)紫隆?/span>he他；she 她；I 我；they他們。根據(jù)文意可知，這里作者說的是他的媽媽打他，故應(yīng)用she代指my mother，選B。

【5】句意：現(xiàn)在想來，我確定就像我的父親支持我因為我要比其他的孩子更加聰明一樣，我的媽媽因為相同的理由吵我更多。happier 更開心的；luckier更幸運的；brighter更明亮的，更聰明的；kinder更善良的。根據(jù)下文She was very bright herself可知，下面提到作者的媽媽就很聰明，所以這里是說作者比家里的其他孩子更聰明，故應(yīng)選C。

【6】句意：現(xiàn)在想來，我確定就像我的父親支持我因為我要比其他的孩子更加聰明一樣，我的媽媽因為相同的理由吵我更多。right 正確的；wrong 錯誤的；same相同的；different不同的。根據(jù)句意可知，作者的父親支持他和他的媽媽經(jīng)常打他，理由是一樣的，the same相同的，故應(yīng)選C。

【7】句意：她自己很聰明，但是她卻更無知的人。darker 更無知的；更黑暗的；cleverer 更聰明的；nearer更近的；older更老的。上句話She was very bright herself可知，作者的媽媽很聰明，后半句用了but表示轉(zhuǎn)折，故這里應(yīng)填的是與bright意思相反的詞，故選A。

【8】句意：我知道，我最大的哥哥Jimmy尤其是她的最愛。need 需要；love喜愛；kind善良的；種類；favorite最喜愛的。根據(jù)上文but she liked the ones…，提到媽媽喜歡…樣的人，而這里提到了作者的大哥，舉例告訴我們他的大哥就是他媽媽最喜歡的那種，故應(yīng)選D。

【9】句意：他不顧一切的走了，從沒有讓我有一種顏色上的優(yōu)越感。never 從不；often經(jīng)常；sometimes有時候；usually通常。根據(jù)文意作者的媽媽總是打他，所以作者的哥哥沒有讓作者有優(yōu)越感，故應(yīng)選A。

【10】句意：我的哥哥姐姐有時候放學(xué)回來，想要黃油餅干或者什么東西。put down 放下；ask for 要求，請求；look at看；sell out賣完。根據(jù)下文My mother impatiently(不耐煩地), would tell them no.可知，媽媽總是不耐煩的拒絕，所以這里是作者的哥哥姐姐想要…，故選B。

這篇短文中作者介紹了他小的時候的經(jīng)歷，并不受媽媽的喜愛，媽媽總是打他，這時候他總是大聲哭喊，讓別人都能聽到。所以作者從小就學(xué)會了如果你想得到某個東西，你就要發(fā)出自己的聲音。文章是記敘文，但在理解上有一定的難度，句式較長，作者的寫作意圖、上下文的邏輯關(guān)系需要仔細辨別，從而尋找線索作答。題型是完型填空，考查學(xué)生們在具體語境中運用語言的能力，綜合性較強，有一定的難度。做題時，應(yīng)先通讀短文，掌握大意；然后逐空做題，注意上下文的提示和空前后的搭配。先解決較容易的，使文章更加完整，脈絡(luò)更加清晰，這樣難題也可以迎刃而解。最后應(yīng)再讀一遍短文，檢查答案。例如第3小題，上文My mother was the one who always beat me. I always cried loudly to告訴我們，作者的媽媽總是打他，在這時候，他就會大聲地哭喊，所以這里應(yīng)該是張開嘴大喊，故選D。再如第7小題，上句話She was very bright herself可知，作者的媽媽很聰明，后半句用了but表示轉(zhuǎn)折，故這里應(yīng)填的是與bright意思相反的詞，故選A。
