【解析】试题分析：这是一篇故事类的文章。描述了Tom的父亲在他15岁时让他去自家的 农场劳动的故事，让他明白劳动的艰辛和“不劳无获”的道理。

1.C句意：在他15岁的时候，他的父亲让他在有空 时候去自家的农场里劳动一年。让某人去做某事用ask sb to do sth。let和make用在这种用法时要省略to。即let sb do sth或make sb do sth。stop停止的意思，不符合题意。故选C。

2.D从后句分析Tom对他父亲的安排是不满意的。故选D。

3.B句意：那不是我的工作，我有太多的作业要做。much too十分，非常；修饰形容词或副词。too much太多；修饰不可数名词。a lot很多，非常；不能修饰名词，放在句子或短语的后面；many许多；修饰可数名词复数。homework是不可数名词。故选B。
