解析：【小题1】根据题意可知，本处（1--3）的意思是“负责某事”be responsible for，又因为是过去时，所以填was responsible for；我们都知道大本钟，很大，所以本句的意思是“它不仅很巨大，而且非常精确”，“巨大的”就是of immense size （4--6）；根据前面一句“大本钟很少不准确，”和本句中的“once，however”可知，这次没能给出正确的时间，也就是说失败了，所以（7--9）填failed to。【小题2】根据30feet“30英尺”可知本处应该是知道长度，故应该用in length（1--2）；本句（3--6）的意思是“尽管坎贝尔达到了每小时305的速度”reach a speed of “达到…的速度”。所以本题填reached a speed of。【小题3】本句的意思是“而有那么一个小男孩，他在逃学期间旅行了1,600英里，从而使上述所有逃学的孩子们都相形见绌了”put sb. To shame“使某人惭愧”根据句意应该是现在完成时的被动语态，故（1--4）应该填been put to shame；本句（5—6）的意思是“在千千万万梦想着逃学的孩子当中，他可是创下了一个“不朽的记录”“梦想做某事”是dream of。【小题4】本句（1—4）的意思是“他花了几年时间在巴黎附近徘徊，直到他在岛上建立了他的家。”“花费数年在某处徘徊”应该是spent years wondering around。本句（5—8）的意思是“因为有了威廉,莎士比亚和他的喜剧，英国剧院格外出名。”“熟悉”是well known；本句（9—10）的意思是“而且，在英国剧院仍旧流行表演结束后向舞台上扔东西。但是今天通常扔鲜花而不是钱或者蔬菜。”“代替，而不是”是instead of。【小题5】本句（1—4）的意思是“汉常说说：‘很高兴你这样的天才开车，爱因斯坦博士。’”本句是一个固定句型It’s one’s /a pleasure to do sth.所以本题填It’s my /a pleasure to；本句（5—7）的意思是“看完那个协奏曲,莫扎特的爸爸震惊得说不出话来。”“太……而不能”是too…to，所以本题填too shocked to。本句（8—10）的意思是“例如，当他旅行时，他很难记住订的票放在了哪里”本句考查“做某事有困难”have trouble doing，又因为是过去时，所以本题应该填had trouble remembering。

我明天再问问老师，叫他解释下这个问题
