答案：
I．语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。汤姆虽然学得很慢，且有阅读障碍，但最终他还是通过自己的努力获得了成功。作者希望通过汤姆的故事，激励更多的人克服困难，为自己的梦想奋斗。
1.A 考查动词辨析。return返回；call（给……）打电话；imagine想象；plan计划。根据第一段第四句“As a result he was put up for adoption（领养）.”可知汤姆后来被领养了，由此推断此处表示他的父母发生车祸后再也没有回来。故选A。
2.B 考查形容词辨析。busy繁忙的；old年老的，旧的；poor贫穷的；mean吝啬的。根据空格前面的“85year old”可知，汤姆的祖母年纪太大了，无法照顾他。故选B。
3.B 考查名词辨析。fend朋友；kid孩子；student学生；parent父亲（或母亲）。句意：他（汤姆）被一对没有自己的“孩子（kids）"的中年夫妻领养了。故选B。
4.D 考查形容词辨析。brave勇敢的；famous著名的；confident自信的；kind-hearted好心的，善良的。根据空格前的but可知，这对夫妇虽然不富裕，也没接受过教育，但是他们很“善良（kind-hearted）”。故选D。
5.C 考查动词辨析。explore探索；bring带来；face面临，面对；solve解决。根据下文中的“He didn’t learn and had trouble in reading.”可知，汤姆在学校“面临（faced）”很多难题。故选C。
6.D 考查副词辨析。willingly乐意地；proudly骄傲地；carefully仔细地；quickly快速地。根据第三段最后一句中的“Though he didn't learn fast”可知，汤姆无法学得“快（quickly）”。故选D。
7.B 考查名词辨析。sister姐，妹；classmate同学；brother兄，弟；teacher老师。汤姆在学校里遇到这么多困难，嘲笑他的应该是他的“同学们（classmates）”。故选B。

9.C 考查动词短语辨析。compete with与…比赛/竞争；get along with与……相处；catch up with赶上；agree with与某人（观点）一致，同意。根据上文可知，汤姆在学习上有困难，不能“跟上（catch up with）”其他学生，所以他就辍学回家了。故选C。
10.D 考查动词辨析。prove证明；cheer欢呼；entertain使快乐；teach教。根据上文中的“But he didn’t stop learning.”可知，汤姆辍学在家，但他没有停止学习。结合四个选项可知，此处指汤姆在家自学。teach oneself为固定搭配，意为“自学”。故选D。
11.C 考查副词辨析。strangely奇怪地；immediately即刻；finally最后，终于；luckily幸运地。根据空格前的“After many years of learning at home”可知，汤姆“最终（finally）”克服了那些困难，成为一名演说家和作家。故选C。
