【解析】

马克和杰米两兄弟准备帮邻居格雷太太扫雪，以换取报酬来买一个新游戏。可是，因为下雪，格莱迪太太没法去银行，但可以给他们自制的点心作为酬谢。哥俩有点犹豫了，杰米拉着马克准备离开。马克转身看着格莱迪太太的身影，想起了去年夏天她给自己的帮助，最后微笑着开始为她扫雪。

【1】句意：你愿意让我们铲你院子里的雪吗？

water水；snow雪；leaves树叶；mud泥。根据下文“shoveling the snow was Jamie's idea”可知，铲雪是杰米的主意，所以此处是铲雪。故选B。

【2】句意：铲雪是杰米的主意，这是一个可以获得足够钱去买新游戏的方法。

things东西；cookies饼干；machines机器；money钱。根据“It will cost 10 dollars.”可知，此处他们铲雪的报酬是10美元，而这些钱可以用来买新游戏。故选D。

【3】句意：我可以提供自制的饼干，但我想那不是你想要的。

keep保持；buy买；offer提供；eat吃。根据上一句“I haven't been able to get to the bank.”可知，格雷太太没有去银行，也就无法给他们报酬，所以此处是可以提供自己做的饼干。故选C。

【4】句意：马克本来想说格雷太太可以下次再付钱，但杰米打断了他。

another再一，又一；last最后；one一；second第二。根据上文“I haven't been able to get to the bank.”可知，格雷太太这次没有办法付给他们报酬，所以此处是马克想告诉格雷太太下次再支付报酬；another time表示下次。故选A。

【5】句意：雪仍然下得很大。

easily容易地；simply简单地；heavily猛烈地，大的；quickly快速地。根据句中snow是动词，表示下雪，可知此处应使用副词heavily修饰动词snow，表示雪下得很大。故选C。

【6】句意：当他们穿过她院子里的雪地时。

through从内部穿过；near在……附近；around在……周围；across从表面穿过。根据上一句“It still snowed heavily.”可知，雪下得很大，所以此处是他们从雪中穿过，用through符合题意。故选A。

【7】句意：她看起来不像个强壮的人，但是当一只大黑狗在角落里把他扑倒时，她的门突然打开了。

if如果；unless否则；although尽管；when当……时候。根据“her door flew open”可知，此处是当马克被一只大黑狗扑倒在角落里的时候，格雷太太的门突然打开了，所以此处用when，表示当……的时候。故选D。

【8】句意：她大声叫着赶快让它（大黑狗）离开。

talked谈话；spoke讲话；shouted大喊大叫；sang唱歌。根据上一句“She ran to him and stood between him and the dog.”可知，此处是格雷太太跑到了马克和大黑狗之间，并冲着大黑狗喊叫，让它离开。故选C。

【9】句意：好邻居互相照顾，不是吗？

families家庭；neighbours邻居；classmate's同学的；parents父母。根据“Mark and his brother Jamie rang their neighbour Mrs. gray's doorbell.”可知，格雷太太跟马克是邻居，所以此处是好邻居互相照顾。故选B。

【10】句意： 杰米很惊讶并且很生气地说道：“你在干什么？ 铲雪要花一整天的时间，且没有钱。”

patient有耐心的；embarrassed尴尬的；scared恐惧的；angry生气的。根据“It will take you all day. No money!”可知，马克铲雪要用掉一整天时间，而且是没有报酬的，所以杰米此处是感到很惊讶也很生气。故选D。
