【解析】

本文講述了聰明的湯姆，他四歲上大學(xué)，湯姆在西倫敦學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)算機(jī)課程。湯姆有些時(shí)間在西倫敦學(xué)院，有時(shí)在家里學(xué)習(xí)。現(xiàn)在他每天看報(bào)紙，他的小提琴拉得很好。他父親希望盡一切努力去幫助他。

【1】句意：他不到一歲就講得很好了。

danced跳舞；ate吃；spoke講話；slept睡覺；根據(jù)“He ___1___ well before he was one year old. ”他不到一歲就 很好了，后文是18個(gè)月就可以給他父母電話留言，所以此處應(yīng)是講話，故選C。

【2】句意：湯姆的奇怪之處在于，他甚至在會(huì)說話之前就自學(xué)了閱讀。

before在……之前；after在……之后；unless除非；but但是；分析句子“The strange thing about Tom is that he taught himself to read even ___2___ he could speak.”正常一般人是先說話，再看書學(xué)習(xí)，此處說是奇怪的事情，所以是甚至說話之前就會(huì)自學(xué)，故選A。

【3】句意：如果我寫錯(cuò)了，他會(huì)糾正我的拼寫錯(cuò)誤。

learned學(xué)習(xí)；corrected修正，糾正；laughed笑；stared開始；根據(jù)分析句子“And he ___3___ my spelling if I made mistakes”如果我寫錯(cuò)了，他會(huì) 我的拼寫錯(cuò)誤。此處應(yīng)該是糾正錯(cuò)誤，故選B。

【4】句意：湯姆嘗試了兩所不同的學(xué)校，但他感到無聊和不快樂。

bored感到無聊的；boring無聊的；excited感到激動(dòng)的；exciting令人激動(dòng)的；根據(jù)“ Tom tried two different schools, but he was ___4___ and unhappy”湯姆嘗試了兩所不同的學(xué)校，但他感到 和不快樂，此處應(yīng)該是無聊，因?yàn)?/span>-ed形容詞修飾人，故選A。

【5】句意：然后他的父母決定他不能留在一所普通的學(xué)校。

ordinary普通；expensive昂貴 ；special特殊；nearby附近；根據(jù)前文他很聰明，他嘗試了兩所學(xué)校，感覺不開心，所以普通的學(xué)校已經(jīng)不適合他，故選A。

【6】句意：但是他們不知道該拿他怎么辦。

deal with處理；argue with爭(zhēng)吵；play with玩耍；do with處理；根據(jù)what to do with =how to deal with表示“怎么處理”，根據(jù)句中有“what to”，故選D。
