【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：本文讲述一个非常害羞的小男孩唐尼因为害怕犯错误，从来不敢回答问题。这种现状却在来了一位新老师玛丽安后而改变了，这位老师以一块橡皮为例告诉他每个人都会犯错误，这是你必须要面对和学会的。

1.C考查动词及语境的理解。句意：事实上，我们可以从我们犯的错误上得到很多。take“拿，取”；make“制作”；learn “学习”；bring“带来”。Learn from学习，结合语境，所以选C。

2.B考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：唐尼是一个非常害羞的男孩，他从来不在课上回答问题。good“好的”；shy“害羞的”；clever“聪明的”；small“小的”。因为他从不在课上回答问题，可知这个小男孩很害羞。所以选B。

3.D考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：他害怕犯错误。glad“高兴的”；excited“兴奋的”； surprised“惊讶的”；afraid “害怕的”。联系上下文他不在课上回答问题是因为害怕犯错。所以选D。

4.A考查连词及语境的理解。句意：他从不完成作业因为他不想犯任何错误。because“因为”； so“所以”；if“如果”；but“但是”。结合语境可知因为不想犯错所以不做作业。所以选A。

5.C考查连词及语境的理解。句意：一切都没有改变过，直到一个老师玛丽安来到我们班级。after“在……之后”；while“当……时候”；before “在……之前”；when“当……时候”。Not …until直到6才，结合语境，所以选C。

6.C考查介词及语境的理解。句意：“看，唐尼”她站在他的旁边说。on“在……上”；with“和……一起”；beside“在……旁边”；to“给”。结合语境和词义，所以选C。

7.C考查动词短语及语境的理解。句意：她取出这些橡皮，一次一个，放在他的桌子上。put out“生产，出版，扑灭”；took away“剥夺，拿开”； took out“取出”；took off“起飞，脱下”。结合语境应该是取出橡皮，所以选C。

8.D考查特殊疑问词及语境的理解。句意：你知道为什么橡皮越来越小吗？when“当……时候”； how“怎么，怎样”；what“什么”；why“为什么”。根据下文That’s because we make mistakes.可知该选D。

9.C考查动词及语境的理解。句意：我将在你的桌子上留一块橡皮，所以你会记得每个人都会犯错。forget“忘记”；carry“携带”；leave“留下”；give “给”。结合语境和词义，所以选C。

10.考查不定代词及语境的理解。句意：我将在你的桌子上留一块橡皮，所以你会记得每个人都会犯错。nobody“没有人”；somebody“某人”；no one“没有人”；everybody“每个人”。每个人都会犯错，所以选D。
