【解析】

本文讲述了发生在Jacob和他的同学Erin之间的事情。Jacob想让Erin帮他复习数学以应对下个月的考试，但Erin在帮他复习的时候总是在玩手机，显得心不在焉，Jacob很生气。

1.

句意：他想在这方面做得很好，所以他向他的朋友Erin求助。

考查名词辨析。time时间；money金钱；luck幸运；help帮助。根据“He wants to do well in it, ” 他想在这方面做得很好。可知，他是向他的朋友Erin求助。故选D。

2.

句意：她数学很好，但她很喜欢玩手机。

考查介词。with和；同；for为了；at在(某处)；to向，朝。此处考查be good at；善于做某事；故选C。

3.

句意：当她有空的时候，她总是玩它。

考查形容词辨析。free有空；busy忙的；tired疲劳的；scared害怕的。根据“ she is always playing with it.” 她总是玩它。可知，此处是指她一有空就玩手机。故选A。

4.

句意：当时她正在看手机里的信息。

考查名词辨析。languages语言；answers答案；messages信息；questions问题。根据“Jacob asked her a question, but Erin didn't answer it.”Jacob问她一个问题，但Erin没有回答。以及空后的on the phone可知，此时Erin阅读的内容是手机消息messages。故选C。

5.

句意：他又问了她这个问题。

考查副词辨析。back向后；again又一次；just正好；only仅仅。根据上文已经问过但Erin没有回答，所以Jacob又问了一次（again）。故选B。

6.

句意：艾琳看都没看。

考查动词短语。ask for求见；look at看；shout at对……大喊；talk about谈论。根据下文Jacob生气时的反应可知此处是Erin并没有看他的答案就敷衍他，故选B。

7.

句意：Erin还在看她的手机。

考查副词辨析。yet还；soon很快；still仍然；later后来。根据“Jacob was not happy. ”可知是Erin并没有放下手机，也就是仍在（still）看手机。故选C。

8.

句意：“你能停下来吗？”他问道。

考查动词辨析。stop停止；start开始；cut切；move移动。根据“Can you tell me about it?”你能告诉我这题吗？可知，此时的Jacob是想让Erin停下来给他解释问题。stop it 为习惯表达，意为别这样，住手。故选A。

9.

句意：艾琳很惊讶，问道：“为什么？”

考查疑问词。How怎样；Why为什么；When何时；Where哪里。因为Erin之前一直没有在听，所以听到Jacob的请求后表示疑惑，用why提问。故选B。

10.

句意：我的朋友在电话里“告诉”了我一件激动人心的事情。

考查动词辨析。calling称呼；telling告诉；asking问；painting绘画。结合语境可知，此时的Erin正在用手机和朋友聊天，因此选择telling告诉；符合语境。故选B。
