【解析】

文章大意：文章主要叙述了作者想要在古董店修一下椅子腿，结果连续四家店都不修理。因此到第五家店时，作者想了一个巧妙地方法，他先向店主卖椅子，然后看他们是否修理椅子腿，结果店主说能修理，于是作者又想买回椅子。最后，作者花了5美元修理了椅子腿。

【1】句意：我认为修理它不会有什么困难。

sold卖；returned归还；cleaned 打扫；fixed修理，根据前文“I discovered one of my chairs had a broken leg”“我发现我的一把椅子的椅子腿坏了”可知，应该是修理，故选D。

【2】句意：所以有一天早上我带着椅子离开了家。

so所以；Yet还；Still仍然；And并且，根据前文“as there are many antique shops near my home”“因为我家附近有很多古董店”可知，应该是所以，故选A。

【3】句意：我完全错了。

confident自信的；polite有礼貌的；careless粗心的；wrong错误的，根据前文“I went into the first shop, expecting a friendly reception”“我走进第一家商店，期待一个友好的接待”和后文“The man wouldn't even look at my chair”“那个人甚至都没有看我的椅子”可知，应该是我完全错了，故选D。

【4】句意：第二家店虽然稍微有点礼貌，但还是一样。

strange奇怪的；different不用的；polite有礼貌的；wise明智的，根据前文的“The man wouldn't even look at my chair”“那个人甚至都没有看我的椅子”和所给空前面的“though slightly more”“虽然稍微有点”可知，应该是礼貌的，故选C。

【5】句意：我进入第五家商店时脑子里有一个计划。

question问题；plan计划；belief信念；excuse借口，根据后文“Everything was going according to plan”“一切都按计划进行”可知，应该是有了一个计划，故选B。

【6】句意：你想要买一把椅子吗？

buy买；check检查；reuse再利用；exchange交换，根据后文“How much do you want for it ?”“这个你要卖多少钱？”可知，应该是你想买一把椅子吗？故选A。

【7】句意：他仔细地检查了一遍。

carefully仔细地；hurriedly匆忙地；sincerely 真诚地；excitedly兴奋地，根据前文“He looked it over”“他检查它”可知，应该是仔细地，故选A。

【8】句意：嗯，我看到那个了，没有关系。

something某事；everything每件事；anything 任何事；nothing没事，根据前文“It's got a slightly broken leg”“它的腿坏了”可知，我告诉店主椅子腿有点问题，但是店主说没关系，nothing可以表示店主不在意椅子腿有问题，故选D。

【9】句意：一切都按计划进行，我很兴奋。

excited兴奋的；patient耐心的；stressed有压力的；worried担忧的，根据前文“Everything was going according to plan”“一切都按计划进行”可知，我应该是兴奋的，故选A。

【10】句意：修好了就容易卖了。

since自从；unless除非；when什么时候；while当……时，根据前文“it will be easy to sell”“它会很好卖”和后文“the repair is done”“修好了”可知，所填空是引导时间状语从句的引导词，while从句接进行时，when最符合语境，故选C。

【11】句意：你刚刚把它卖给了我。

lent借给；sent发送；sold卖；returned归还，根据前文“I'll buy it”“我买它”可知，当店主听到我打算买椅子时，对我说“是我刚才卖的”，所以应该是卖，故选C。

【12】句意：你一定是疯了。

bored无聊的；dissatisfied不满的；sick生病的；crazy疯狂的，根据店主认为我刚卖又想买，所以他觉得我疯了，故选D。

【13】句意：然后突然恍然大悟。

properly适当地；suddenly突然地；finally最后地；naturally自然地，根据后文“I see. You want me to repair your chair”“我明白了，你想要我修你的椅子”可知，应该是突然恍然大悟，故选B。

【14】句意：我不会同意的。

expected预期；agreed同意；managed完成；refused拒绝，根据前文“what would you have done if I had walked in and said, 'Would you repair this chair for me?”“如果我走进来说“你能帮我修一下这把椅子吗？你会为我修这把椅子吗？”结合语境，可推出店主是不会同意的，故选B。

【15】句意：我们不做修理，修理不赚钱而且还麻烦。

challenge挑战；danger危险；trouble麻烦；loss损失，根据前文“not enough money in it and too much”“钱不多还有很多”可知，应该是麻烦，故选C。

做完型填空时，首先要通读课文，明白主旨大意，然后再做题。做完型时要记住“瞻前顾后想结果”这一原则，根据上下文以及语境做题，切忌主观臆断。另外，平时还要多多积累词汇。完型填空常考名词、动词、形容词和副词等辨析。做词义辨析题时，首先要确认四个选项的含义，然后分析语境和逻辑关系，确定答案。

例如题目8中，首先确定四个选项含义，something某事；everything每件事；anything 任何事；nothing没事，根据前文“It's got a slightly broken leg”“它的腿坏了”可知，我告诉店主椅子腿有点问题，但是店主说没关系，nothing可以表示店主不在意椅子腿有问题，故选D。
