[文章大意]本文主要讲述了弗兰克和罗伯特因时间观念不同在学习上做的安排也不同。弗兰克抓紧一切时间学习，而罗伯特总是抱怨没有时间学习。文章告诉我们：要善于管理和利用时间。
1. A ［解析］考查固定用法。句意：为什么不马上学习？why not 为什么不（做某事），后接动词原形；why don't 为什么不，常构成句型“Why don't + 主语 + 动词原形 + 其他？”；what/how about（做某事）怎么样，后接动名词。根据“learn”可知，此处应用句型 Why not do sth？（为什么不做某事？）。故选 A。
2. B ［解析］考查不定代词辨析。句意：十分钟而已！那算不了什么。something 某事，某物；nothing 没有什么；everything 一切；anything 任何事物。根据下文“Besides, I must run with Rover now”及“Robert told the teacher that he had no time to learn it.”可知，他认为 10 分钟什么也做不了，因此用 nothing。故选 B。
3. C ［解析］考查动词短语辨析。句意：弗兰克拿出他的书，一边走一边开始学习部分内容。put away 将……收起；point at 指向；take out 拿出；look up 查阅。根据后面的“began to learn part of it”可知，弗兰克拿出书。故选 C。
4. A ［解析］考查动词辨析。句意：罗伯特大笑着说：“真是个书虫！”laugh 大笑；wave 挥手；sing 唱歌；read 阅读。根据“What a bookworm！”可知，罗伯特是在嘲笑弗兰克。故选 A。
5. C ［解析］考查副词辨析。句意：罗伯特快速地和男孩们一起跑开了。sadly 悲伤地；politely 有礼貌地；quickly 快速地；quietly 安静地。根据“Come out to play basketball！”和“Robert ran away with the boys”可知，罗伯特快速地跟着男孩们跑去玩了。故选 C。
6. D ［解析］考查动词辨析。句意：读完书后，弗兰克和男孩们一起玩耍，享受着游戏的乐趣。teach 教；forget 忘记；forget to do sth 忘记要做某事；forget doing sth 忘记已经做过某事；mind 介意；enjoy 享受。根据宾语“the games”及语境可知，弗兰克玩得很开心，此处应用 enjoy。故选 D。
7. B ［解析］考查连词辨析。句意：但是第二天他们回到学校时，弗兰克对功课掌握得很好，而罗伯特告诉老师他没有时间学习。and 而且；but 但是；so 所以；or 或者。根据“Frank knew his lesson well ... Robert told the teacher that he had no time to learn it”可知，前后句之间存在转折关系，应使用表示转折的连词 but 来连接。故选 B。
8. C ［解析］考查疑问词辨析。句意：他的老师问：“弗兰克，你是怎样抽出时间学习功课的？”why 为什么；where 在哪里；how 怎样；what 什么。根据下文“I had ... minutes before lunch yesterday ... Then I looked over my lessons for ten minutes before sleeping ...”可知，老师问的是方法，因此此处用 How 提问。故选 C。
9. B ［解析］考查数词辨析。句意：昨天午餐前我有 10 分钟……five 五；ten 十；fifteen 十五；twenty 二十。根据上文中的“You have ten minutes before lunch.”可知，弗兰克在午餐前有 10 分钟的时间学习。故选 B。
10. A ［解析］考查形容词辨析。句意：然后我在睡觉前复习了十分钟功课；今天早上早餐前我花了十分钟把功课完善好。perfect 完美的；boring 令人厌倦的；special 特殊的；strange 奇怪的。根据弗兰克的描述可知，最后一步应是将学习内容完善好，因此此处用 perfect。故选 A。
