【解析】

文章大意：短文主要叙述了Paul与爸爸间的事情。爸爸总是很忙，打破与Paul的计划，Paul觉得很伤心，老师建议他要说出自己的心事来；他采纳了老师的建议并打电话留言说出了想说的话，感觉好多了。

1.句意：他努力想做作业，但是他不能做。

mustn’t禁止；couldn’t不能；needn’t不必；may not不可能。根据句意可知，Paul和爸爸约好一起打棒球的，但是爸爸违约了，所以Paul心情不好，不能做作业，故答案为B。

2.句意：大约八点电话响了。

Ring动词原形；B. rang一般过去式；is ringed一般现在时的被动语态；was rang一般过去时的被动语态。根据句意可知，句子是一般过去时，并且主语和动词之间是主动关系，所以应为主动语态中的一般过去时，故答案为B。

3.句意：他的书打开在第一页。

opened一般过去时；have opened现在完成时；was opened一般过去时的被动语态；will be opened一般将来时的被动语态。根据句意可知，主语“书”和动词“打开”之间是被动关系，并且发生在过去，所以应用一般过去时的被动语态，故答案为C。

4.句意：Paul的语文老师Mrs. Green很细心，要求他放学之后留下来。

which哪一个；who谁；what什么；why为什么。根据句意可知，空处的词为定语从句的引导词，中心词为Mrs. Green，故答案为B。

5.句意：“Paul，如果你不想说，我说吧。”

am一般现在时；was一般过去时；will一般将来时；have现在完成时。if引导的条件状语从句，从句是一般现在时的时候，主句用一般将来时，故答案为C。

6.句意：可能他不做作业是因为想引起爸爸的注意。

although虽然；if如果；so that以便；because因为。根据句意判断，后句是前句的原因，故答案为D。

7.句意：他决定接受她的建议。

her她的；his他的；your你的；their他们的。根据Mrs. Green格林夫人和句意可知，故答案为A。

8.句意：我有很多作业方面的问题。

of……的；at在……；about关于；with…在某方面。have problems with在某方面有问题，固定搭配，故答案为D。

9.句意：我真的不想再花费另外一天时间看窗外等待了。

looking doing形式；to look 动词不定式；looked动词过去式；was looked一般过去时的被动语态。根据spend…doing…花费……干……可知，故答案为A。

10.句意：那天晚上他做作业时有一个清醒的头脑。

a一个，用于辅音音素开头的单词之前，表示类别；an一个，用于元音音素开头的单词之前，表示类别；the表示特指；/ 不填。根据句意空处的词表示类别，并且clear的第一个音素是/k/，辅音音素，应用a，故答案为A。
