【解析】

这篇短文主要讲述了Cam为了躲过数学测试而假装生病没去上学。没想到第二天返校后，发现老师把测试改到了今天。

1.推理判断。根据文中“Cam is a student and healthy, but today he looks hot and ill and when it’s the time for him to go to school, he is still in bed. “Can I stay home from school today? I’m ill,” he tells him mum….”及最后一段“Math is the first class. “We are having the math test now, class.” Miss Clark tells them with a smile. “Too many students were at home yesterday.”可知，Cam躺在床上说自己生病了，不想上学，是因为今天有数学测试，但是最后，数学老师说昨天好多同学不在，今天在测试。可推测出“Cam不想参加数学考试”。故选C。

2.推理判断。根据文中“Can I stay home from school today? I’m ill,” he tells him mum. His mum touches his head. “OK, but you’ll have to look after yourself, I’m going to work now,” she says.”及下文“As soon as(一...就...) the door closes, Cam springs out of bed. He takes off the three warm sweaters and put on a T-shirt and shorts.”可推断出，他穿三件毛衣是为了让自己的身体发热，让母亲误认为他生病了。故选D。

3.推理判断。ring打电话； jump跳起来；sit坐； run跑步。根据下文“He takes off the three warm sweaters and put on a T-shirt and shorts. Then he runs for the kitchen.” 他脱下三件暖和的毛衣，穿上T恤和短裤。然后他跑向厨房。可是推断出上文是“门一关，Cam就从床上跳起来”。spring在这里的意思是“从……跳起来”。相当于“jump”故选B。

4.推理判断。根据文中“At eleven, he calls his friend Tom, he is “ill” too. Tom says he’ll come over after lunch. The two boys play computer games all the afternoon.”在11点的时候， 他打电话给他的朋友汤姆，他也病了。汤姆说他午饭后过来。这两个男孩整个下午都在玩电脑游戏。可推断“Cam 和Tom在同一个班”。故选D。

5.推理判断。ill生病的；lovely可爱的； unhappy不高兴的； interested有趣的。

根据文中“Next day, Cam says he feels much better and goes to school. Math is the first class. “We are having the math test now, class.” Miss Clark tells them with a smile. “Too many students were at home yesterday.”” 第二天，Cam说他感觉好多了，去上学了。数学是第一堂课。克拉克小姐笑着对他们说：“同学们，我们正在进行数学考试。”。“昨天有太多学生在家。”可知推断出，Cam还是没有逃脱考数学，所以他很难过。故选C。
