Once when I was six years old I saw a picture in a book, 1True Stories from Nature, about the primeval forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor（大蟒） in the act of 2 an animal. Here is a copy of the drawing. In the book it said: “Boa constrictors swallow their prey （猎物）whole, without chewing it. 3 they are not able to move, and they sleep 4 the six months that they need for digestion.”
After some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. It looked like this:

Drawing Number One.
I showed my picture to the grown-ups, and asked them 5 the drawing frightened them. 6they answered: “Frighten? Why should any one be 7 by a hat?”
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I 8 another drawing: I drew the 9 of the boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it 10 . They always need to have things explained.
My Drawing Number Two looked like this:

Drawing Number Two
Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried the experiment of 11him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept. I would try to12, so, if this was a person of true understanding. But, 13 it was, he, or she, would always say: “That is a hat.”That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand 14 by themselves, and it is15 for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

【解析】作者的两幅画一直都得不到人们的真正理解，他感到非常困惑。希望能遇到一个真正理解自己的人，但希望总是落空。
⑴句意：一次，我六岁的时候，在一本书上看见一幅画，这本书叫做《自然的真实故事》，是关于原始森林的。said说；called被叫做；told被告知；talk谈论。故选B。
⑵句意：那是一副一条大蟒蛇在吞食一只动物的画面。seek寻找；catch捕捉；play玩耍；swallow吞。根据下文Boa constrictors swallow their prey （猎物）whole可知选D。
⑶句意：书上说，“大蟒蛇把猎物整个吞下，没有嚼。”之后他们不能动。after all毕竟；after that在那以后；after another另一个后；after hours几个小时后。故选B。
⑷句意：它们会睡过那六个月，它们需要消化。through穿过，如果用for，则要去掉the，即for six months。故选A。
⑸句意：我把我的画向大人们展示，问他们我的画儿是否让他们感到害怕。whether是否；why为什么；how怎样；where哪里。故选A。
⑹句意：但是他们回答说：“害怕？为什么应该有人被一个帽子吓到。”表示转折，故用but，因此选C。
⑺like喜欢；threaten威胁；hate讨厌；恨；frighten使害怕；惊吓。故选D。
⑻句意：我的画儿不是一个帽子，是一张大蟒蛇消化大象的画面。但是既然大人们不能理解它，我又画了一幅，根据第二段首句I succeeded in making my first drawing可知是作画，故选A。
⑼句意：我画了蟒蛇的体内。根据图示可知画的是大象被吞到蛇体内的话，故选B。
⑽句意：以便于大人们能看清楚它。修饰动词see，故用副词clearly，因此选D。
⑾句意：无论何时我遇到一个对我来说好像有见识的人，我都试一试让他看我的一直保存着的第一幅画。show sb sth向某人展示，故选C。
⑿句意：我将努力去发现这是不是一个真正有理解力的人。come out出版；出来；hand out分发；find out弄清楚；查明；bring out取出，故选C。
⒀句意：但是，不管是谁，他，还是她，总会说，“那是个帽子。”根据he，or she可知选C，无论是谁。
⒁句意：大人们永远自己不懂一些东西。否定句用anything，肯定句用something。根据never可知是否定句，故选C。
⒂句意：对于小孩子来说，总是并永远向他们解释一些东西是很令人厌烦的。happy和pleased都是“高兴的”；tiresome令人厌烦的；terrible可怕的。故选C。
