【解析】

本文通过教授的一个小测试，折射出一个人生哲理：在我们生活中有很多小黑点，我们不能总盯在它们身上，与我们生活中的每件事情相比，这些黑点是非常小的，但是实际生活中我们总会关注这些黑点，从而错过了生活中其他美好的东西。

1.句意：他把卷面朝下分发试卷。

handed back交还；handed out分发；handed in上交；根据前句One day a teacher entered the classroom and told the students to prepare for a test. 一天，老师走进教室，告诉学生们准备考试。可知这里是指分发试卷，故选B。

2.句意：然后他让他们把试卷翻过来开始做。

us我们；her她；them他们；根据前文told the students to prepare for a test. 告诉学生们准备考试，可知这里是要求学生们把试卷翻过来，所以这里指代复数名词应该用them，故选C。

3.句意：试卷中央除了一个黑点外没有其他问题。

but除……以外；against反对；behind在……后面；根据前句there were no questions没有任何问题，以及a black dot(小圆点)in the center of the paper试卷中央的有一个小黑点，可知这里表达的“除了小黑点试卷上没有其他问题”，这里应该用介词but，故选A。

4.句意：他们都描述了黑点。

drew画；described描述；divided分开；根据后文trying to explain its position.试图解释它的位置。可知这里表达的是“描述”黑点，故选B。

5.句意：所有的都读完之后，教室里一片寂静。

After在……之后；Whenever无论何时；Until直到……；根据后句the classroom was silent and the teacher started to explain教室里一片寂静，老师开始解释，可知这是在读完所有的试卷之后学生们的反应，所以这里指的是“在……之后”，故选A。

6.句意：没有人写那张纸的白色部分。

black黑色；red红色；white白色；根据后句Everyone only saw the black dot.每个人都只看到了黑色的点。可以这里说的是所有没有人描写试卷上除了黑点之外的部分，所以这里指的是白色，故选C。

7.句意：我们总是有理由去庆祝美丽的大自然。

ways方法；parties聚会；reasons理由；根据语境及前句的always和后句to celebrate the beautiful nature, our friends around us and the miracles(奇迹)we see every day.庆祝美丽的大自然，我们身边的朋友和我们每天看到的奇迹。可知这里指的是“有理由庆祝”，英语中“理由”是reason，故选C。

8.句意：然而，我们只注意那些黑点。

However然而；Recently最近，近期；Especially尤其；根据前句we always have___7___to celebrate the beautiful nature, our friends around us and the miracles(奇迹)we see every day.我们总是有理由去庆祝美丽的大自然，我们身边的朋友和我们每天看到的奇迹。和后句we only pay attention to the black dots.我们只注意那些黑点。可知两句前后是转折关系，所以这里应该用however，故选A。

9.句意：与我们生活中的一切相比，黑点是非常小的。

big大的；small小的；helpful乐于助人的；根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“黑点非常小，与生活中的一切相比”，所以这里应该用small，故选B。

10.句意：是他们污染了我们的思想。

create创造；improve提高；pollute污染；根据句意理解及后句Take your eyes away from the black dots in your life.把你的眼睛从生活中的黑点移开。可知这里表达的是不好的方面，所以应该选择pollute，故选C。
