【解析】【1】 联想学生的行为，句中的介词at，以及后文中提到的picked it up，可推断出学生在向老师扔硬币。

【2】根据下文的had 12 cents in his pocket，可知道父亲把硬币放进了口袋里。

【3】根据下文中的another one another penny“孩子们一个接一个朝父亲扔硬币”，可以看出孩子们是在起哄。laugh表示“出声笑，大声笑”之意。

【4】 another表示“连续地，一个接一个地”。

【5】根据下文的“我想用你们的钱喝杯酒”可知，这里父亲在“感谢”学生们的行为。

【6】这是一个省略句。补全句中应为“I depend on you”，介词on表示“依靠”。

【7】根据下文“我不想给老师买……”，可知老师看到的孩子们脸上的表情是“不高兴的样子”。

【8】根据上文中have a beer，可知这里应选drink。

【9】句中的call接双宾语，what作call的间接宾语。

【10】父亲用这样的方法管理调皮的孩子，可以说父亲用了一个“诡计”，

【11】 consider.as.表示“认为……是……”，as可以省略。

【12】父亲是家庭的主心骨，他要承担起养家糊口的责任。

【13】根据上文的the Father's Day可以推测出是“父亲节的贺卡”。

【14】根据下文中的父亲抓紧时间休息片刻，可推测出这里在谈naps。

【15】根据上文的zero interest，和下文中的转折连词however可以看出：父亲对体育不感兴趣。

【16】此空考查动词的辨析。get an idea相当于have an idea“有了主意”。

【17】根据下文中Wake me in 20 minutes，可知父亲是想小睡20分钟。

【18】因为后面接了直接引语，所以只有saying正确。

【19】 a matter of表示“关于……的问题”。

【20】“我”父亲过去是、现在依然是“我”所见过的最勤劳的人，或许除了他的父亲外。该空只能填but或except，表示“除了……之外”。
