本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一个画家，虽然很穷，但是没有放弃画画坚持他的梦想。餐馆的老板很善良，同意他可以赊账吃饭。有一天，画家有了灵感，在吃饭的时候作了一幅画，他觉得是他画过的最好的一幅画，但是餐馆的老板却不这么认为。

【1】句意：虽然他很穷，但他从未放弃绘画，总是坚持他的梦想。

考查连词。此处需要连词连接两个句子。When连词，当……时候，引导时间状语从句；If连词，如果，是否，引导条件状语从句或宾语从句；Although连词，尽管，虽然，引导让步状语从句；But并列连词，但是，引导并列成分。根据本句“he was very poor,”可知描述的是事实，且空白处在句首，可以用although引导让步状语从句。故选C。

【2】句意：他连饭钱都挣不到。

考查动词。pay动词，支付；to pay动词不定式；paying动名词或现在分词；paid过去式或过去分词。根据句意可知，此处用动词不定式作目的状语，表示挣钱的目的是吃饭。故选B。

【3】句意：幸运的是，街上餐馆的老板很和蔼，让他赊帐吃饭。

考查代词。he主格代词；his形容词性物主代词，他的；him宾格代词；himself反身代词，他自己。此处有名词meals，前面填写形容词性物主代词。故选B。

【4】句意：一天，当画家在餐馆吃午饭时……

考查动词。have动词，吃，进行；had表示一般过去时；has had表示现在完成时；is having表示现在进行时；was having表示过去进行时。根据“suddenly a great idea came to him.”可知本句为过去时态，且while连词引导时间状语从句时态用进行时态，故用过去进行时，故选D。

【5】句意：他立即打开桌子上的白色餐巾纸，拿出他的画刷，把盘子留在一边，开始画画。

考查介词。with用，伴随；on在……上；for为了；at在……。根据句意，画家有了想法开始画画，把盘子放在一边。with表示伴随的状态，符合题意。故选A。

【6】句意：过了一会儿，这幅画完成了。

考查冠词。本句时态为一般过去时，此处用有固定搭配after a while=after a moment 一会儿以后,后来，常用于一般过去时，故填写a符合题意，故选A。

【7】句意：过了一会儿，这幅画完成了。

考查被动语态。finished一般过去时；was finished一般过去时被动语态；has finished现在完成时；is finished一般现在时被动语态。本句谓语动词finish，与主语the painting的关系为被动关系，故用被动语态。且时态为一般过去式，故选B。

【8】句意：看着他的作品，他认为这是他画过的最好的作品。

考查形容词。good形容词，好的；better形容词比较级，较好；more better用法错误，better前不可以再加more。best形容词最高级，最好的。此处用形容词good在句中作表语，修饰it指代的his work，且空白前有定冠词the，故用形容词最高级。故选D。

【9】句意：“你也能看到这幅画的价值，对吧？ 然后我真的离成功不远了，”他高兴地说。

考查副词。happy形容词，开心的；happily副词，开心地；sad形容词，悲伤的；sadly副词，悲伤地。根据句意，空白处填写副词修饰动词said。根据前一句“You can also see this painting value a lot, right? Then I’m really not far away from being successful,”可知画家此时很高兴，故选B。

【10】句意：我的意思是，我有一个儿子，他总是梦想成为像你这样成功的画家。

考查连接词。which连接代词，哪一个，指代物，在从句中作主语、宾语和表语；who连接代词，谁，指代人，在从句中作主语和表语；whom连接代词，谁，指代人，在从句中作宾语；whose连接代词，谁的，在从句中作表语。根据句意可知，此处为定语从句，先行词为a son，在从句中作主语，故用连接代词who。故选B。
