When I was young, I liked to play jokes on people I knew, especially(尤其) on my parents and friends. One day my mother was 1 and I was playing with my younger brother Tony. Suddenly(突然) I ran to my mother and said, "Tony fell from the open window!" She was very 2 and ran out of the kitchen. Then I said, "Don't worry. I'm just 3 ." And my mother shouted at me, "If you do it 4 , I'll hit you."
One day I went swimming with my 5 in the sea. I wanted to play a joke on them. In the beginning, I went swimming 6 , and I called out, "Help!" All my friends came to help me, only to 7 that I was joking. But the next time I wasn't joking. I was so 8 that I swam in deep water. I tried my best to call my friends for help, but this time nobody came to help me. 9 , they found I was telling the truth. They came and saved my life. They took me to the hospital. This is the best 10 in my life. From then on, I haven't joked on anyone.

1. A 根据上下文:一天,我妈妈在厨房里煮饭,我和我弟弟Tony一起玩。根据下文"She was very ( ) and ran out of the kitchen."可知妈妈当时在厨房里,应该是在cooking(煮饭),选A,排除B睡觉、C写作、D跑步。
2. B 句意:她非常着急,跑出了厨房。此题考察学生是否掌握这些形容词的意思。当父母知道自己的孩子坠楼时应该是"担心的、着急的"。A:生气的;C:对不起的;D:激动地。A、C、D均不符合题意,故选B项。
3. D 根据上下文:别担心,我只是开玩笑。从文章首句"I liked to play jokes on people I knew, especially on my parents and friends."可知作者非常爱开朋友和家人的玩笑。当他告诉母亲"Tony fell from the open window!"之后又说"Don't worry",别担心,可知此时"我"也是在开玩笑的,故选D。play jokes是"开玩笑"的意思。
4. C 句意:如果你再这样做,我就打你!根据上下文可知母亲是在警告我:"再开玩笑就打你 "。故选C。A:现在;B:待会;D:一次。
5. A 根据上下文:一天我和朋友去海边游泳。根据下文"All my friends came to help me",可知,是和朋友一起去的。故选A。B:同学;C:兄弟;D:父母。
6. D 句意:开始,我一个人去游泳并大喊:救命!根据下文All my friends came to help me可知我一个人游走了,A:快地、B:慢慢地、C:好地,D:独自地,只有D符合题意。
7. A 句意:所有的朋友都来救我,却发现我是在开玩笑。根据上下文可知"发现我在开玩笑"。B:理解,C:说,D:认为,都不符合题意。故选A,发现。
8. B 句意:我不小心游到了深水区。A:小心地,C:快地,D:慢地,均不符合题意,故选B,不小心。careless有"粗心的、疏忽的、草率的"的意思,是由care和否定后缀less组成的。
9. B根据上下文:最后,他们发现我说的是真的。上文中提到了"in the beginning",故选B,"最后"。A:起初,C:从那时起,D:在那时,均不符合题意。
10. C 句意:对我来说这是一个最好的教训。A:时间,B:运动,C:教训,D:一天,仅C符合题意。lesson除了有"课程"的意思,还有"教训"的意思。"得到教训"可以说:draw lessons。
