試題分析：這篇短文講述了Martin不能幫助別人解決題目，于是他們想要臺電腦來解題。但電腦很貴，他們買不起，于是想起寫信給總統(tǒng)要求幫忙。他們把信寫好放到郵局前面的盒子里。但第二天發(fā)現(xiàn)那個盒子不是郵箱而是垃圾箱。

1.考查動詞與語境理解。結(jié)合選項詞意，此句為：他父母五年前去世了，他現(xiàn)在和奶奶生活在紐約。Die，去世，動詞，過去式為died。根據(jù)句中的ago，用一般過去式，故選C。

2.考查動詞與語境理解。這里指的是希望題目不難，句意：但愿對我來說不。A肯定；B想；C希望；D祝愿，故選C。

4.考查形容詞與語境理解。根據(jù)前文，有電腦的話問題就簡單了，此句為：如果我們有臺小電腦，所有問題對我們就足夠簡單了。Enough足夠，修飾形容詞時放在形容詞后面；easy容易；difficult困難；故選A。

7.考查介詞與語境理解。這里指是的要錢，ask sb. for sth.向某人要某物，介詞用for，故選B。句意：我們可以向總統(tǒng)要點錢。

8.考查動詞與語境理解。這里指的是把信放進盒子，句意：他們小心地把信放到盒子里然后開心地回家了。A地方；B拿走；C放下；D帶來，故選C。

9.考查動詞與語境理解。根據(jù)后文on their way to school他們?nèi)�學校的路上，結(jié)合選項詞意；此句為：他們在去學校的路上經(jīng)過郵局。A經(jīng)過；是pass的過去式；B過去的；C膏的；D經(jīng)過，是pass的ing形式，句中用過去式，故選A。
