It was the night before the position was due. As I looked at the list of topics(题目), “The Art of Eating Spaghetti(意大利面条)” caught my eye. The word “spaghetti” brought back the 36 of an evening at Uncle Alien’s in Belleville 37 all of us were seated around the table and Aunt Pat 38 spaghetti for supper. Spaghetti was an exotic(外来的) treat in 39 days. Never had I eaten spaghetti, and 40 of the grown-ups had enough experience to be 41 it. What laughing 42 we had about the 43 respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth. 44 , I wanted to write about that, but I wanted to 45 it down simply for my own 46 , not for Mr. Fleagle, my position teacher. 47 , I would write something else.
When I finished it the night was half gone and there was no 48 left to write a proper position for Mr. Fleagle. There was no choice next morning but to 49 my work. Two days passed before Mr. Fleagle returned the 50 papers. He said, “Now, class, I want to read you a position, ‘The Art of Eating Spaghetti’. ”
My words! He was reading my words out 51 to the whole class. 52 laughed, then the whole class was laughing with open-hearted enjoyment. I did my best not to show 53 , but what I was feeling was pure happiness, 54 my words had the power to make people 55 .

解析：
本文是一篇记叙文。内容比较简单，贴近学生的生活实际。作者就第一次吃面条的经历，突发奇想，为了自娱写成文章。但为了应付老师，权充未完成的作业上交。结果却给全班同学带来了欢乐，作者自己也感到快乐。
36. A。memory意为“记忆”; thought意为“思想, 想法”; knowledge意为“知识, 学问”; experience意为“经验, 经历”。从全文来看，作者是记述了记忆中的一件事。因此此题答案选A。
37. A。此题是一个由关系副词when引导的定语从句，先行词是an evening。
38. B。serve意为“供饭菜”。在此处是指晚饭吃面条。cook后面可跟meal, dinner等词。
39. D。in those days意为“当时, 那时候”。
40. A。根据句中的and可知是并列句，再根据前面的Never，可知本题应该表示否定的词，但neither表示“两者都不”，与上文中的all of us不符，故答案为A。
41. B。根据上文中提到的Spaghetti was an exotic treat，可知“成年人中也没有一个人对吃面条在行。”
42. D。根据上文所讲，我们中没有人知道吃面条的方法，因此发生了可笑的“争论”。
43. D。此题为副词词义辨析。nearly意为“密切地”；naturally意为“自然地”；officially意为“正式地；官方地”；socially意为“在社交方面”。根据句意，他们争论的是关于“在社交方面体面的方法”。故答案为D。
44. C。从作者一伙人的可笑的争论，作者突发奇想。
45. B。put down意为“记下”，与前一分句的write意思一致。
46. D。与文章最后一段中的happiness相呼应。
47. C。上句说到，作者写文章是为了自乐，而不是为了完成老师的作业。因此，本句是说，至于老师，我将写别的内容。
48. A。作者笔锋一转，然而，写完此文时已是半夜，因此没有时间来写老师布置的作文了。
49. C。第二天一早，我只好交上了我的作品。
50. B。此题是考查过去分词作定语。graded 意为“评完分数的”。
51. A。loud意为“高声地, 大声地”。read out意为“把. . . 读出”。本句是说老师向全班同学读了作者的文章。
52. C。老师读的时候，先是有人笑了，接着全班同学都开怀大笑。
53. D。本文作者的写作目的是为了娱乐，但此处尽力部表现出来。与前文的enjoyment和for my own joy相应。
54. B。并列连词for在此表示原因。
55. D。本段前面两次出现laugh一词，因此空也用laugh前后呼应。
