【解析】

本文叙述了Monty写了一篇关于自己梦想的论文，内容是他想拥有一家养马场。结果老师却给他评了个“F”。因为他的老师认为根据他的家庭条件，他的理想是不现实的，让他重写。但是Monty考虑了之后，没有改动自己的论文，他说：“你可以坚持给我F，我坚持我的梦想。”

【1】句意：当他上九年级的时候，他被要求写一篇关于他长大后想成为什么和做什么的论文。

note注释，笔记；paper纸，论文；question问题；diary日记。根据第二段“That night he wrote a seven﹣page paper saying that someday he’d__2__a horse ranch (牧场).”可知他是被要求写的应是论文。故选B。

【2】句意：那天晚上他写了一篇长达七页的论文，里面说他有朝一日会拥有一个养马场。

paint油漆，描绘；win 赢得；own 拥有；sell销售；根据第五段“Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of___9___.”可知此处指的是拥有一个养马场。故选C。

【3】句意：他详细写了他的梦想，而且他甚至画了一幅画，上面一个带有高楼的200亩的牧场。

just 仅仅；almost几乎；ever曾经；even甚至，即使。根据空前“He wrote about his dream in great detail”可知他不仅详细地写了他的梦想，结合空后“drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with all the buildings.”可知他还画了牧场图，故此处表示强调，因此用副词even。故选D。

【4】句意：他在这篇论文上投入了大量的心血，第二天他把它交给了老师。

heart心脏；life生活；help帮助；talent才能。根据短语put one’s heart to sth“在某事上投入心血”，结合句意，可知本句是说“他在这篇论文上投入了大量的心血”。故选A。

【5】句意：第二天他把它交给了老师。

to给；with和；from从；for为了。根据句意可知是hand sth in to sb把某物交给某人，把它交给老师hand it in to his teacher符合语境。故选A。

【6】句意：在第一页他看见一个红色的大字“F”，还有一个便条写着“下课来见我”。

after在……之后，主要用于时间或次序；behind在……的后面，主要用于位置；over在……之上；in在……里面。根据句意，可知是在下课后去见老师，是在时间之后，所以是after class。故选A。

【7】句意：那男孩下课后去看老师，问：“为什么我得到了F？”

How 怎样；Why为什么；When 何时；Where何地。根据后面“This is an____8____dream for a young boy like you. Your come from…you could ever do it.”可知老师这是在解释原因，所以前文是问为什么why。故选B。

【8】句意：老师说：“对你这样的小男孩来说，这是一个不切实际的梦想。”

unusual不寻常的；unforgettable难忘的；unimportant不重要的；unrealistic不切实际的。根据后文老师的解释“__11__you rewrite this paper with a more realistic (现实的) goal, I will change your grade.”可知老师认为这是一个不现实的梦想。故选D。

【9】句意：拥有一家养马场需要很多钱。

money 钱；time 时间；space 空间，太空；thought想法。根据后文的“You have to buy the land. You have to pay for other things.”可知要买地，买其他东西，需要的是钱。故选A。

【10】句意：你没有办法那样做。

wonder奇迹；way 方法； problem问题；joke笑话。根据后文“____11____you rewrite this paper with a more realistic (现实的) goal”可知他的梦想是不现实的，因此他没有办法去做。故选B。

【11】句意：老师补充到“如果你用一个更现实的目标来改写这篇论文，我会改变你的等级的。”

Though尽管；Since 自从；Until直到；If如果。结合句意，此处表示条件，为条件状语从句，“如果你用一个更现实的目标来改写这篇论文”符合句意，故用连词if。故选D。

【12】句意：那男孩回到家，仔细考虑了很久。

himself他自己；him他；it它；itself它自己。根据句意可知，是作者回到家考虑老师所说的话：“如果你用一个更现实的目标来改写这篇论文，我会改变你的等级的”，要用人称代词it代替，think about it long and hard仔细考虑这件事情考虑了很久。故选C。

【13】句意：但是我认为这对你来说是一个非常重要的决定。

change 变化；gift礼物；message消息；decision决定。根据前面“Look, son, you dream is all up to yourself. 听着，孩子，你的梦想全靠你自己。”，所以此处是作决定。故选D。

【14】句意：这个男孩交上了同一篇论文，没有做一点改动。

long长的；thick厚的；same一样的；correct正确的。根据空后的“making no changes at all. 没有做一点改动”可知，交上的是同一篇论文。故选C。

【15】句意：你可以坚持你的等级“F”，我会坚持我的梦想。

grade等级；dream 梦想；duty职责；secret秘密。根据前面“Look, son, you dream is all up to yourself.”，可知父亲认为自己的梦想由自己决定，所以这儿是说梦想dream。故选B。
