文章大意：短文主要记叙了Tess的弟弟生病而无钱医治，Tess却没有放弃希望，带着一美元十一美分到药店寻找奇迹，终于感到了一位著名的医生为她的弟弟免费手术，而且手术很成功。

【1】句意：Tess是一个西班牙小女孩。

根据句意可知，空处的词应用名词“Spain西班牙”对应的形容词“Spanish西班牙的”，故答案为Spanish。

【2】句意：Tess克服她的羞怯回答到。

根据句意，空处的词应是“羞怯”，因其在形容词性物主代词her之后，应是名词；shy是形容词，害羞的，对应的名词是shyness，羞怯，故答案为shyness。

【3】句意：因此我很渴望奇迹。

根据前句My daddy says only a miracle can save him.我爸爸说只有奇迹能挽救他可知，空处的短语应是“渴望be thirsty for”，因主语是I，时态是一般现在时，所以系动词应用am，故答案为am thirsty for。

【4】句意：这儿不卖奇迹。

根据句意可知，空处的词应是动词sell，并且和主语Miracles是被动关系，再结合aren’t的提示，应用一般现在时的被动语态，其构成形式be+done，sell的过去分词是sold，故答案为sold。

【5】句意：Tess眼里含着泪回答。

根据前句"He needs an operation（手术）.But my daddy can't afford it. "他需要手术，但是我爸爸承担不起可知，空处的词应是动词“回答reply”，并且时态应是一般过去时，reply的过去式是replied，故答案为replied。

【6】句意：那个男人是一名著名的医生。

根据后句Soon the boy was healthy again and doing well.很快这个男孩又恢复健康推测出，空处的词应是形容词“著名的”，fame是名词，名声，对应的形容词是famous，著名的，故答案为famous。

【7】句意：我们是那么的幸运。

根据前句"That operation, " her mom said to her dad, "was really a miracle.那个手术确实是一个奇迹推测出，下句妈妈应是说“我们是那么幸运”；空处的词在系动词are之后，应为形容词，luckily是副词，幸运地，对应的形容词是lucky幸运的，故答案为lucky。

【8】句意：她确切地知道手术花费了多少钱——一美元十一美分和这个孩子的信心。

根据句意可知，空处的词是修饰动词knew，应是副词“确切地”；exact是形容词，准确的对应的副词是exactly，确切地，故答案为exactly。
