【解析】【1】句意：托尼坐在厨房的桌子边，摆弄着一片面包。play with表示“摆弄，玩弄”之意，符合上下文语境。

【2】由上一句Tony坐在厨房桌子边玩弄面包，可知他不饿。

【3】从前后两句的内容可推断出Tony有了问题。

【4】由句中this morning和下一句jumped out of bed可知此句意为“当他今天早上醒来时……”。

【5】由下文的“a great weekend”可知他此时感觉很好。

【6】由下文的“It would be a weekend like any other…”可知，此处表示“将要来临的周末”，故用ahead表示“在将来”之意，符合语境。

【7】 that代指上文提到的“a great weekend”，故此处表示“在他打开电脑发现无法上网前”他认为这将是一个美好的周末，故选择before。

【8】由第一段最后一句“the Internet is down"可知，这里是指他发现不能上网。

【9】由“Every weekend”可知，Tony通常总是上网。

【10】由空后的what's happening可知这里指看新闻。

【11】 play与后文的chess games相搭配，表示“玩象棋游戏”。

【12】由前面所述的情景可知，Tony不知道没有网络他将如何过周末。wonder表示“想弄明白”。这句话意思是“托尼想知道在没有网络的情况下如何正常地度过这个周末”。

【13】由第一段可知Tony正在厨房，因而妈妈应该走进厨房。

【14】“不要再考虑网络的事情了。”考查了think about 表示“考虑”的用法。

【15】make no answer表示“没有做出回答”。

【16】此处表示妈妈“建议”说“去和海伦下象棋吧”。

【17】around the corner表示“在拐角处”之意。

【18】此处表示“面对面下象棋”，与以前网上下象棋不同，故用change表示“改变”之意。

【19】上文提到“这有可能是一个很好的周末呢”，故此处表示“托尼笑着走向电话”。

【20】毕竟虽然没有网络但是还有实际的生活。故用D项。
