【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】考查名词辨义与上下文理解。thing事情，东西；school学校homework家庭作业。由于谓语是go on(继续)，且空格前有the same修饰，指的是前一句中所说的情况，因此只能用thing来概括。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】考查动词的非谓语形式。由句子结构可知，填入的词在句中作主语，而homework又是填入动词的宾语，因此填入表主动的现在分词形式doing。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】考查主谓一致性和时态。由于短文的基本时态是现在时，而句中说明的又是the modern students(现代的学生)的情况，因此此处也应用一般现在时态。而句子主语是分词形式，看作单数，因此谓语动词也要用单数形式。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】考查限定词。被修饰词interests在此用的是复数形式，表示的是“兴趣”，因此要用能修饰可数名词的a lot of。而a little和much都只用于修饰不可数名词。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】考查名词辨义与上下文理解。friend朋友；time时间；money钱。由上下文可以看出，这里指他们没有时间帮助做家务、看球赛或电影等，因此选[B] 。其余两项填入都不合逻辑与常识。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】考查连词与上下文理解。由于这里表示的是一种可选择的情况，且这一句前面出现了两个 or，因此本题也应承前选or。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】考查动词语态。句子主语the homework是应填入动词的宾语，因此要用被动语态，选[C] 。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】考查固定搭配与上下文理解。由句子结构分析，填入的词与in such a作句子的状语，而且在意思上应指“匆忙”，故选hurry，构成固定搭配in a hurry(匆忙地)。注意不要被such迷惑(such与后面的 that构成固定搭配such...that...)。hour前不能用a，而in a word指“总之”。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】考查形容词辨义与上下文理解。pleased高兴的，满意的，sorry抱歉的，内疚的；unhappy不高兴的，不快乐的。学生作业做得很潦草，老师当然会不高兴，因此答案是[C] 。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】考查介词用法。由文意可知having a good rest是在周末，时间上处于Monday之前，因此填入表示“之后”的after。
