【1】句意：你和爸爸从来不微笑。

考查副词辨析及语境。always总是；never从不；sometimes有时候；usually通常。根据上文 “Why does everybody look so sad?”可知，每个人都很悲伤，所以这里表示“从来也不笑”。故选B。

【2】句意：当我和本在学校里笑的时候，Hewitt先生生气了，让我们停下来。

考查形容词辨析及语境。angry生气的；happy开心的；glad高兴的；worried担心的。根据空后 “and tells us to stop.”可知，当Sarah和Ben笑的时候，Hewitt先生会让他们停下来，这说明他生气了，不想让他们笑。故选A。

【3】句意：Kent夫人说：“也许没什么好笑的。”

考查代词辨析及语境。something某事；anything任何事；everything每件事；nothing没什么事。根据上文的语境可知，每个人都看起来很悲伤，从来也不笑，Kent夫人解释是因为没有什么好笑的事，故这里选择否定意思的nothing。故选D。
