【解析】

Amy和Eric的爸爸为了让他们早起，告诉他们湖里有怪物，于是Amy和Eric真的起了个大早，想去看看。当他们知道这是爸爸在给他们开玩笑的时候，他们只能帮助爸爸做农活了。

1.句意：他们早上醒得很早，因为他们今天早上想要看看它。evening晚上；morning早上；afternoon下午；night晚上。根据句中They woke up early 以及下文It was only 5：30 a．m可知，Amy和Eric早上起得早，故应选B。

2.句意：才凌晨5点半，因此家里的其他所有人都还在睡觉。somebody某人；nobody没有人；anybody任何人；everybody每个人。根据句意可知，Amy和Eric起得很早，所以家里其他的人都还在睡觉，因此这里用everybody指其他的所有人，故应选D。

3.句意：雾太大看不清楚任何东西。see看见；hear听见；understand理解；explain解释。根据句意It was foggy可知，雾很大，所以看不见东西，故应选A。

4.句意：Amy说：“我不那样认为，记得爸爸说过什么吗？那种奇怪的动物出现在湖里。”Imagine 想象；Accept接受；Remember记得；Attend参加。根据句意可知，这里表示“记得爸爸说过的话吗”，故应选C。

5.句意：故事里的人在船里。buses 公交车；boats船；trains火车；subways地铁。根据上句话The strange animal appeared in the lake以及下文We can sit in the boat.可知，人们都应该在船里。故应选B。

6.句意：我们可以坐在船里，那比较安全。dangerous 危险的；excited兴奋的；safe安全的；free自由的，空闲的，免费的。根据上文“You want to go into the water？” Eric said.

7.句意：然后Amy爬进船里，坐在他旁边。from来自；从…；beside在…旁边；outside在外边；onto到…上面。根据文意Eric carefully climbed into the boat first. Then Amy climbed into the boat可知，Eric和Amy都爬进了船里，因此这里应用“在…旁边”比较合适。故选B。

8.句意：爸爸说：“我知道你们会因为我的故事早起。”early 早；late晚；suddenly突然；slowly慢地。根据上文They woke up early可知，Amy和Eric起得很早想要去看湖里奇怪的动物。故应选A。

9.句意：Amy和Eric很不开心，根本没有奇怪的动物。glad 高兴的；afraid害怕的；excited兴奋的；unhappy不开心的。根据句意there was no strange animal at all.可知，Amy和Eric起了个大早，想要看看那个奇怪的动物，但是根本就没有，因此他们是不高兴的，故应选D。

10.句意：爸爸笑着说：“我给你们带来了早饭，你们饿了吗？”full满的；饱的；hungry饿的；upset不安的，心烦意乱的；nervous紧张的。根据上句话I brought breakfast for you.可知，爸爸给他们带来了早饭，所以这里应问他们饿了吗，故应选B。
