【解析】

试题解析:

1. at sb's desk 为固定搭配，意为“坐在课桌旁”。故正确答案为 at。

2. He knew 后面是宾语从句，做 knew 的宾语，宾语从句缺少主语，故用疑问代词 what 引导，意为“他知道会发生什么（what）”。此外，有的同学会填 something，虽然在句意上看似能讲通，但这并不符合地道标准的英语语法和表达。故正确答案为 what。

3. been discovered）”。本句 discover 与主语 he 之间是动宾关系，应该使用被动语态；又因“被发现”发生在“老师走过来”之前，因此是过去的过去，应使用过去完成时。故正确答案为 had been discovered。

4. towards 后面应该用人称代词的宾格形式。故正确答案为 him。

5.a，一个装满水的金鱼缸；

6.strangely，用副词做状语；

7.cleaning，现在分词做伴随状语；

8.as，As life would have it! 习语，生活就是这样

9.but，她想帮忙，但是同学们误会她了，想让她离开教室；

10.When，表示在放学的时候；
