【解析】

本文主要讲述了Jane快要参加考试，因为紧张不能入睡就喝了安眠药，在梦中她考的很失败，什么都不会，伤心的哭了起来，后来就被姐姐叫醒了，发现这是一个噩梦。

【1】句意：如果不通过，他们将不得不在九月重考。

prepare准备；miss错过；join加入；pass通过。根据空后“they would have to retake them in September. 他们将不得不在九月重考。”可知，此处是如果他们不通过。故选D。

【2】句意：通常会有一些人失败，但简不想成为其中的一员

succeeded成功；failed失败；ended结束；called叫。根据后面的“but Jane didn’t want to be one of them.”，可知是Jane不想成为失败中的一员。故选B。

【3】句意：她一整年都很努力，但就在考试前，她学习如此努力以致于姐姐芭芭拉很担心她。

but但是；so所以；and 并且；because因为。根据句意，前后形成对比，全句语境为她已刻苦学习整整一年， 可是临考前还得努力，所以用表转折关系的but。故选A。

【4】句意：她已刻苦学习整整一年，但就在考试前，她学习如此努力以致于姐姐芭芭拉很担心她。

excited兴奋的；frightened害怕的；worried担心的；pleased高兴的。根据前文“She had worked hard all year, 她已刻苦学习整整一年，”以及后面说吃安眠药，依据这种逻辑，结合空前的be，可知是be worried about固定短语，was worried about her担心她。故选C。

【5】句意：她上床睡觉太晚。

early早的；late晚的；heavily沉重地；eagerly渴望地。从下句的“…she have an early night…”可推知，临近考试她睡得很迟。故选B。

【6】句意：第一次考试的前一天晚上，芭芭拉坚持要她早睡并吃安眠药。

sleeping睡觉的；resting休息的；exciting兴奋的；breathing呼吸的。根据后句“She promised to wake her up in the morning.她答应在第二天早上叫醒她”和第三段第一句“As she was falling asleep, Jane was afraid that she might oversleep(睡过头).”可知这里指吃“安眠药”。故选A。

【7】句意：她的大脑不停地从一个主题跳到另一个主题。

hand手；eye眼睛；mind大脑；body身体。根据后面“kept jumping from subject to subject”可知这是思维活动，而思维活动应该是在大脑中进行。故选C。

【8】句意：最后，在药物的帮助下，她终于睡着了。

her sister她姐姐；her parents她父母；the lessons课程；the medicine药物。根据第二段的“Barbara insisted(坚持) that she have an early night and take a ___6___ pill.”可知，之前吃了安眠药，Jane后来终于睡着了，这说明之前吃的“安眠药”起了作用。故选D。

【9】句意：很快，她就坐在考场里，看着试卷，但她一个问题都答不上来。

result结果；marks成绩；desk桌子；paper纸，试卷。根据后面的“she couldn’t answer any of the questions.她答不出任何问题”及“__10__ around her was writing pages and pages.”可知她看的是“试卷”。故选D。

【10】句意：她周围的每个人都在写一页又一页的答试卷。

The teacher老师们；The students学生们；No one没有人；Everyone每个人。根据后面的“was writing pages and pages.”动词用的was writing，可知主语是单数形式，A和B选项排除；而C选项说在考试时没人答题， 不符合场景，故排除，她周围的每个人everyone around her符合语境。故选D。

【11】句意：尽管她努力想，但还是想不到任何东西可以写。

If如果；Though虽然；So所以；How怎样。根据后面的“she thought hard,”与“she couldn’t find anything to write about.”之间是转折关系，可知用though。故选B。

【12】句意：她一直在看她的手表。

watch手表；textbook课本；sister姐姐，妹妹；subject科目。根据后面“Time was running out时间正在耗尽”，可知她在看表。故选A。

【13】句意：她开始答一个问题，写了两句话，然后放弃了，又试了另一个。

gave up放弃；put off推迟；look around环顾四周；think over仔细考虑。根据空前“She started one question, wrote two sentences,”与后面的“and tried another one.”，可知一题未做完又做下一题，说明暂时放弃了前一题。故选A。

【14】句意：那时她是如此担心以致于开始哭起来。

examining检查；leaving离开；copying复制，抄袭；crying哭泣。从上文可知Jane非常重视这次考试，为此她刻苦学习了一年，而考试时却一败涂地，因此她焦急、伤心，空处填“哭泣”符合语境。故选D。

【15】句意：她还在床上，这一切都是一个可怕的梦。

nice好的；wonderful美妙的；terrible糟糕的；special特别的。根据前文可知身体的剧烈晃动，导致她从睡梦中醒来，通过前文这个梦的描述可知，自己重视的考试没能考好，结合选项可知，这是一个“可怕”的梦。故选C。
