(答案→)B
解析：本文讲述了Jane为考试做了很长时间的准备，在临考前仍然很努力。她姐姐Barbara很担心她，希望她吃安眠药早点休息，而Jane做了可怕的梦。
【小题1】B 上下文串联、根据reviewing their lessons for the exams可推知。classmates在此表意不清。
【小题2】D上下文串联。由have to retake them可推知。
【小题3】B上下文串联。由Jane didn’t want to be one of them合前一句话可推知。
【小题4】A上下文串联。前后形成对比，全句意思为“她已刻苦学习整整一年，可是临考前还得努力。”
【小题5】C形容词辨析。A兴奋B害怕C担忧D开心；根据上下文之间的逻辑关系予以选定。她的姐姐Barbara非常担心她。
【小题6】B从下句的she should have an early night可推知，临近考试时她睡得很迟。
【小题7】A动词辨析。A坚持B/D希望C命令D根据从句中的虚拟语气形式可排除B、D，根据语境可排除C。Barbara希望她早点吃安眠药睡觉。
【小题8】A上下文串联。根据下一句和下一节第三句可知是“安眠药”。
【小题9】B上下文串联。从上文可知，Jane是一个女生，是将Jane叫醒。
【小题10】C名词辨析。A手B眼C大脑D身体；思维活动应在“大脑”中进行。
【小题11】D上下文串联。后来终于睡着了，这说明之前吃的“安眠药”起了作用。
【小题12】D上下文串联。从下两句可推知他看的是“试卷”。
【小题13】D语法分析。选项A不合常识，选项B主谓不一致，选项C不合上下文，应一一排除。
【小题14】B连词辨析。A如果B尽管C于是D如何；与下一分句形成对比关系。
【小题15】B固定搭配。根据语境，应为“不知道写什么” Write about….。
【小题16】A上下文串联。根据look at和Time was running out 可推知。
【小题17】A短语辨析。A 放弃B推迟C环顾D思考。一题未做完又做下一题，说明暂时放弃前一题。
【小题18】D上下文串联。从第四个空格前的内容可知Jane 极不愿意不及格并补考，为此刻苦学习了一年，而考试时却一败涂地，怎能不会焦急、伤心。
【小题19】B动词辨析。A抬起B苏醒C站立D欢呼；身体的剧烈晃动导致自己从睡梦中“醒”来。
【小题20】C形容词辨析。A好B非常棒C可怕D特别；原来做的是一个“可怕的”梦。
