【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文中作者给我们介绍了他的笔友Nick。Nick今年12岁了，来自英国。他最喜欢的科目是科学，他还会说一些中文，但是不会写。Nick很喜欢运动，最喜欢的是游泳。他有一个大家庭，一共有九口人。

1.根据短文的开头Nick is my pen friend. He is 12 years old可知，作者的笔友Nick今年12岁了。故本题答案是He is 12 years old.

2.根据短文中He often takes a bus to school.可知，Nick经常乘坐公共汽车去上学。by bus 是介词短语，乘坐公共汽车。take a bus是动词短语，意思一样。

3.句意：他最喜欢科学。根据这句话的意思可知，Nick最喜欢的科目是科学，我们还可以使用favorite 这个词来表达like…best这个意思，故应该是：His favorite subject is science。

4.go swimming 是固定的短语，去游泳；on weekends在周末。句意：他周末经常和他爸爸一起去游泳。

5.句意：他不喜欢历史，因为他觉得历史太难了。根据句意可知，这句话告诉我们Nick不喜欢历史课的原因，故填连词because。
