1.句意：这个穷人总是坐在那里，看着那个富人居住的大旅馆。A. car汽车；B. room房间；C. hotel旅馆；D. house房子。根据下文中的句子“but I just want to know ___2___you sit here and look at my hotel every morning”可知，那位富人住在一个大旅馆里，故答案为C。

2.句意：但是我只想知道你为什么每天早上都坐在这里看我的旅馆。A. when什么时候；B. how怎么样；C. what什么；D. why为什么。下文中的句子“I sleep on this bench, and every night I dream that one day I’ ll sleep in that hotel.”是解释为什么那个穷人每天晚上都看着富人所住的旅馆的原因，故上句用why来询问原因，答案为D。

3.句意：今晚你的梦想会成真。A. come back回来；B. come out 出来，出版；C. come over过来；D. come true实现。come true指梦想实现，故答案为D。

4.句意：我将为你在那家旅馆里最好的房间付一个月的费用。A. good好的；B. well好意地，健康的；C. better更好，good或well的比较级；D. best最好，good或well的最高级。形容词的最高级前加定冠词the，故答案为D。

5.句意：我将为你在那家旅馆里最好的房间付一个月的费用。A. for为了；B. to到；C. with与……一起；D. in在……里。for后面可以跟时间段，for a whole month一整个月的时间。结合句意可知，答案为A。

6.句意：几天后，富人走过穷人的房间问他是否玩得开心。A. it它；B. itself 它自己；C. him他；D. himself他自己。enjoy oneself玩得开心，过得愉快。oneself与从句中的主语he保持一致，故答案为D。

8.句意：你知道，当我躺在我的长凳上睡觉的时候，我梦见我在那里，在那家大旅馆里。A. if 是否，如果；B. when当……时候；C. after在……之后；D. as soon as一……就。根据下文中的句子“But when I was up there, I dreamed I was back to this cold bench.”可知，此句是when引导的时间状语从句，故答案为B。

9.句意：这是一个美妙的梦。A. sad悲伤的；B. wonderful精彩的，美妙的；C. quick快速的；D. slow慢慢的。此句与下文中的句子“It was a terrible dream”形成鲜明的对比，terrible的对应词为wonderful，故答案为B。
