The others denied (否认) it as well. Of course, we all knew that one of us ______ have done it. But as the youngest and smallest of the three, I just couldn’t find the courage to tell the _____.

To find out who had written on the ______, Father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. "I want ______ of you to write exactly what you see on the step."

I tried my best to write the words ______. I didn’t want Dad to be able to tell it was me.

He gathered up our pieces of paper and looked at them. "Since none of you will admit(承认) to have done it, then I will _____ you all." I stood there and said nothing.

【解析】

本文讲述了作者做错了事情，不敢承认，然后他姐姐代替他受了惩罚，但从这件事情之后，作者再也没有做过让别人替他承担责任的事情。

【1】句意：你们谁干的?

Who谁；What什么；Which哪一个；根据下文父亲说肯定是你们之中一个做的，可推测出此处是“哪一个”，故选C。

【2】句意：我很害怕。

scared害怕的；excited激动的；relaxed放松的；根据“When he asked me, I lied, ‘Not me, Dad.’”可知作者撒谎了，可推测出此处是“害怕”，故选A。

【3】句意：当然，我们都知道一定是我们中的一个人做的。

can可能；must必须，一定；may可以；根据上文问谁做的可知肯定是有个人弄的，可推测出此处是“must”表肯定推测，故选B。

【4】句意：但作为三个孩子中最小的一个，我就是没有勇气说出真相。

lie说谎；story故事；truth真相；根据前文作者撒谎可知，可推测出此处是“真相”，故选C。

【5】句意：为了找出谁在台阶上写了字，父亲给了我们每人一张纸和一支铅笔。

wall墙；step台阶；shelf架子；根据上文“...write exactly what you see on the step.”可知父亲让我们写下台阶上的字，可推测出此处是“台阶”，故选B。

【6】句意：我希望你们每个人都把你们在台阶上看到的写下来。

every每个（着重全体，不接of）；each每一个（着重个体，可接of）；one一个；根据“of you”可知此处是你们每个人，且有of，可推测出此处是“each”，故选B。

【7】句意：我尽我最大的努力去不同地写单词。

differently不同地；slowly缓慢地；beautifully美丽地；根据“I didn’t want Dad to be able to tell it was me. ”可知我不想让爸爸知道是我做的，可推测出此处是“不同地”，故选A。

【8】句意：因为你们没有一个人会承认做了那件事，所以我要惩罚你们所有人。

believe相信；punish惩罚；refuse拒绝；根据下文“She was grounded (被罚不准出门) for a month.”可知她被罚一个月不准出门，可推测出此处是“惩罚”，故选B。

【9】句意：我姐姐走上前来，说她做了这件其实不是她做的事。

anything任何事（肯定句），一些事（否定句，疑问句）；nothing没有事；something一些事；根据前文可知她没有做那件事情，可推测出此处是something来代替，故选C。

【10】句意：直到多年以后，我才告诉父亲，那是我做的。

until直到；since因为；after之后；not…until表示“直到……才”，根据“I didn’t tell my dad it was really me”可知 多年以后，我才告诉父亲，那是我做的，可推测出此处是“until”，其他选项不符合题意。故选A。
