試題分析：
小題1:詞義辨析。A. 說B.告訴C. 說某種語言D. 談話。故選B，最符合語境。一天他母親告訴他寄一封信給他的父親。
小題2:結合上文He didn’t see a letter box on the street.及下文The sign said,可知他看到了一個有標記的籃筐，故選A。
小題3:根據(jù)上文I can read,” thought Jack, but he couldn’t可知他不會讀這個單詞，故選A。
小題4:上文敘述的是他來寄信，故現(xiàn)在應該離開，選A，離去。
小題5:介詞辨析，to表示動作的方向，目的；on表示在……上面；with表示用某種工具，伴隨狀況等；for表示動作原因目的等。根據(jù)題意，那個廢物筐是用來收集舊報紙和其它沒有的東西的。選D。

小題10:根據(jù)上下文可知要表達的句意為，當我們剛上學時，為什么他們不告訴我們所有的單詞？那么這樣的事情就不可能發(fā)生了。故選C。
點評：文中小男孩由于分不清單詞litter和letter的區(qū)別，結果把信投到廢物筐里面，后來在別人的幫助下又從廢物筐里找回信，重新寄出去。答題前一定要讀懂全文，弄清文章的主要內(nèi)容。答題中，一定要認真分析，注意選項與上下文的關系，與前后單詞的關系。對于一時沒有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來完成，因為有時答案可以從下文內(nèi)容體現(xiàn)出來。答完后再通讀一篇文章，看看所選選項能不能是語句通順，語意連貫。
