1．A.only

C．needing D．asking 答案：A
解析：从下文谈到报纸上的那个男孩及“我”的感受来看，“我”在回答妈妈的话时，想极力表现出自信，故用trying(分词短语作状语)。
3．A.However B．What's more C．As a result D．In fact
B．really D．finally
答案：D
解析：前面说“我”与妈妈打赌，此处通过in fact引出打赌的原因，即与妈妈打赌事实上是由报纸上的一幅图画引起的。

解析：上文说“我”通过读报获悉一男孩因为一年没看电视而得到100美元的故事，此处是对这种情况的具体展开。由于逗号前没有连词，故此处用过去分词，即用said作定语，相当于who was said to have gone one year without TV...。
6．A.glare C．come 答案：B
解析：由上文．..staring at me with mocking(嘲笑的) eyes可推测，此处填laugh才能在语意上与其保持一致。laugh at意为“嘲笑”；glare at意为“盯着”；come at意为“逼向”；shoot at意为“向……开枪”。
