【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了一个成功的商人吉姆的童年经历。他12岁时，他的父母去世了。他独自一人，与人相处得不很好。人们总是嘲笑他。没有人发现他的好意。有一天，他走在街上，一个年轻的女士走在前面。突然，她的一个袋子掉到地上。他来帮助她。“谢谢你，亲爱的！你是一个很可爱的小男孩！”就是这一句赞美的话让他开始了新的生活。

1.C考查动词及语境的理解。A.形容词，死的B.die的现在分词，形容词临终的C.die死亡的过去式及过去分词；D.动词，死亡。根据下文He was alone，可知他的父母去世了，结合前面时间状语从句内容可知本句描述的是过去发生的动作，故选C。

2.A考查动词及语境的理解。人们总是嘲笑他。laugh at 嘲笑。故选A。

3.C考查动词及语境的理解. Stop后接动名词表示停下正在做的动作，接不定式表示停下来去做某个动作。动词加介词组成的短语,后面如果接代词做宾语,那么代词应该放到中间.从上下文可知这位女士是停下来去捡他的包，故选C。

4.A考查冠词及语境的理解。结合上文No one showed kindness (友善) to him.没有人对他友善，可知这是他第一次听到这样的客气话，故选A。序数词作定语修饰kind words，因为是特指故需加定冠词。

5.A考查连词及语境的理解。结合上下文可知本句意思为，他看着她直到她走远了。这位女士走远是一个持续的过程，故不能一直看下去，所以不能选CD，选B则不符合逻辑，故选A。

6.D考查名词及语境的理解。Sound；声音noise 噪音；.吵闹的；voice嗓音。结合下文he said to his dog,可知选D，然后他低声对他的狗说。

7.C考查代词及语境的理解。联系上下文此处的代词指的是这只狗，故选C，它的。

8.B考查短语及语境的理解。nothing but只有；只不过。句意：他看到的只不过是一个脏兮兮的男孩。故选B。

9.B考查副词及语境的理解。结合上文他的醒悟和下文He saw a clean nice boy.可知他仔细洗了脸。故选B，副词位于动词后修饰动词。

10.A考查感叹句及语境的理解。词+主语+谓语！或是：What+名词词组+主语+谓语！ What+(形容词）+可数名词复数或不可数名词+主语+谓语！由How引导的感叹句。选C，则it后缺少谓语。It seems后一般接that从句。how用来修饰形容词、副词或动词。其结构是：How+形容词（副词）+主语+谓语！根据下文结构可知选A。

考点：情感故事类短文。
