【文章大意】作者的一個學(xué)生Steve來自一個貧窮的家庭，但是他有畫畫的天賦，他很努力地練習(xí)，作者也經(jīng)常在課堂上表揚他、鼓勵他，于是他更加努力地練習(xí)。最后他上了一所著名的大學(xué)。

【1】句意：令我吃驚的是，它是Steve——我的一個學(xué)生畫的。one of...表示……之一，后面跟名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填students。

【2】句意：他的父母負擔(dān)不起給他買他需要的基本的東西。could是can的過去式，根據(jù)文意可知，這篇短文用的是一般過去時態(tài)，故填could，couldn’t afford to do sth.買不起，負擔(dān)不起。

【3】句意：當(dāng)他收到一副手套的時候他非常開心。happy開心的，高興的。根據(jù)文意可知，Steve來自一個貧窮的家庭，因此當(dāng)他收到一副手套時，他非常的開心。

【4】句意：他很喜歡戴這副手套，他的手套總是比別人的更干凈。cleaner是clean的比較級形式，根據(jù)句意和句中的than可知，這里是把Steve的手套跟其他學(xué)生的手套相比。

【5】句意：Steve有畫畫的天賦，他能輕易就理解我在課堂上描述的內(nèi)容。easily副詞，在句中作狀語修飾動詞could understand。

【6】句意：但是他沒有錢買畫紙，因此有時候我給他一些。gave 是give的過去式形式，根據(jù)文意可知，這篇短文使用的是一般過去時態(tài)，故填gave。

【7】句意：他練習(xí)得很努力，我經(jīng)常把他的畫展示給學(xué)生們看，他受到了很大的鼓勵。encouraged是過去分詞，這句話使用的是被動語態(tài)，故填encouraged。

【8】句意：就在暑假之前的一天，他來借一些美術(shù)書。borrow借，根據(jù)句意可知這里是動詞不定式作目的狀語，故填動詞原形。

【9】句意：當(dāng)新學(xué)期開始的時候，他把他的一些畫展示給我。his他的，形容詞性物主代詞，修飾空后的名詞paintings。

【10】句意：他總是盡他的最大努力去提高他自己。try one’s best to do sth.盡某人最大努力去做某事。這句話用的是過去進行時態(tài)，故填trying。
