【解析】

本文介绍了作者的两位哥哥——马丁和马特长得很像，但是性格却不同，马特很活跃并且爱玩，上课不仔细听老师讲课，而马丁比较安静，学习很努力。

1.

句意：或许因为我是最小的孩子，并且是他们唯一的妹妹。

fattest最胖的；youngest最幼小的；rudest最粗鲁的；strongest最强壮的。根据I have two older brothers，可知，作者在家里是最小的孩子，所以空格处填youngest。故选B。

2.

句意：他们的短发和大眼睛让他们看起来很像。

their他们的；our我们的；your你的；her她的。根据They look alike，可知，马特和马丁都有短发和大眼睛，所以看起来很像，故空格处填their。故选A。

3.

句意：因为他们都喜欢户外运动，所以他们也晒得很黑。

trips旅行；picnics野餐；sports运动；risks风险。根据For example, Matt likes football and Martin is a tennis player，由足球和网球可知，他们都喜欢户外运动，因此晒得很黑，所以空格处填sports。故选C。

4.

句意：他们比我高，当我跟他们说话时，我总是要仰望。

talk说话；write写；bow鞠躬；fly飞。根据They are much taller than me and I always have to look up，可知，哥哥们比作者高，作者在跟他们“说话”时需要仰望着他们，其他动作不需要看着对方，fly飞不符合逻辑，所以空格处填talk。故选A。

5.

句意：他们都喜欢吃，所以妈妈经常说他们总是非常饿。

sing唱歌；eat吃；laugh笑；drive开车。根据so Mum often says that they could eat a horse，由妈妈说他们总是非常饿可知，他们都喜欢吃，故空格处填eat。故选B。

6.

句意：他们的性格非常不同。

important重要的；difficult困难的；dangerous危险的；different不同的。根据Matt is very active and lively及Martin, on the other hand, is the quiet one，可知，马特非常活泼，而马丁比较安静，由此可见，他俩的性格是不同的，所以空格处填different。故选D。

7.

句意：他经常参加俱乐部活动，很容易与人相处。

loudly大声地；easily容易地；suddenly突然；recently最近。根据Matt is very active and lively. He often takes part in club activities，可知，他非常活泼，又经常参加俱乐部活动，所以很容易跟人相处，故空格处填easily。故选B。

8.

句意：有时妈妈对马特不满意，因为他玩得太多，上课时不仔细听老师讲课。

nervous紧张的；honest诚实的；happy高兴的；angry生气的。根据because he plays so much and does not listen to his teachers carefully when he is in class，可知，马特上课不仔细听老师讲课，所以妈妈对他不满意，固定搭配：be happy with“对……感到满意”，故空格处填happy。故选C。

9.

句意：他没有马特活跃，但是他有一群非常亲密的朋友。

whether是否；if如果；or或者；but但是。根据He is less active than Matt及he has a really close group of friends，可知，虽然马丁没有马特那么活跃，但是他有一群非常亲密的朋友，后文表转折，所以空格处填but。故选D。

10.

句意：他考试考得很好，因为在学习上他很努力。

exams考试；hobbies爱好；interviews面试；adventures冒险。根据because he works very hard on his studies，可知，他学习很努力，所以考试考得很好，故空格处填exams。故选A。
