【答案与解析】
1. B。句意为“他想了一会儿”。 think of, think over, think about用于“想起 / 考虑某人或某事”，后面通常不接表示时间的名词。因此，三者都不能被选。
2. C。该题测试复合不定代词的用法，用逐个排除法。如果选nothing，显然不能用Yes来回答，先排除这个选项；anything通常用于否定句或疑问句中，本句是个肯定句，也得排除这个选项；something指其中的一部分，根据上下文语境可以排除这个选项。
3. D。此题考查 have sth done 结构，宾语补足语要用过去分词。
4. B。“用铅笔或小刀弄坏书桌”与“在全校师生面前被打”是条件与结果的关系，因此，前半句是个条件状语从句。在这四个被选的不定代词中，只有any能用于条件状语从句。
5. A。从前半句的“损坏……”很容易推测出下半句是“赔偿 / 支付……”。cost，take，spend指“花费”时间、金钱等得到某物或达到什么目的，也就是说付出了要有回报，然都与本句的内容不符合，都不能被选。
6. B。根据下文提供的情景可知此题应选 father
7. D。这是一个宾语从句，不能用引导状语从句的as，when和where来引导，只能用whether来引导。
8. C。too…to... 是个固定搭配，意思是“太……而不能……”。
9. B。句意为“父亲同意给我5元钱交给老师”。也就是说，父亲把5元钱给我，再由我交给老师。因此，要用表示“转交或移交”意思的词组。hand out是“分发，散发”的意思，hand over是“移交”的意思，hand in是“交上去”的意思，hand down是“传下来”的意思。由此可见，只能选hand over。
10. A。本句是对上面内容的总结，要用表示因果关系的连词。or表示选择关系，and表示并列关系，but表示转折关系，只有so表示因果关系。
