答案解析：

本文讲述了Jane为考试做了很长时间的准备，在临考前仍然很努力。她姐姐Barbara很担心她，希望她吃安眠药早点休息，而Jane做了可怕的梦。

小题1:B 上下文串联、根据reviewing their lessons for the exams可推知。classmates在此表意不清。

小题2:D上下文串联。由have to retake them可推知。

小题3:B上下文串联。由Jane didn’t want to be one of them合前一句话可推知。

小题4:A上下文串联。前后形成对比，全句意思为“她已刻苦学习整整一年，可是临考前还得努力。”

小题5:C形容词辨析。A兴奋B害怕C担忧D开心；根据上下文之间的逻辑关系予以选定。她的姐姐Barbara非常担心她。

小题6:B从下句的she should have an early night可推知，临近考试时她睡得很迟。

小题7:A动词辨析。A坚持B/D希望C命令D根据从句中的虚拟语气形式可排除B、D，根据语境可排除C。Barbara希望她早点吃安眠药睡觉。

小题8:A上下文串联。根据下一句和下一节第三句可知是“安眠药”。

小题9:B上下文串联。从上文可知，Jane是一个女生，是将Jane叫醒。

小题10:C名词辨析。A手B眼C大脑D身体；思维活动应在“大脑”中进行。

小题11:D上下文串联。后来终于睡着了，这说明之前吃的“安眠药”起了作用。

小题12:D上下文串联。从下两句可推知他看的是“试卷”。

小题13:D语法分析。选项A不合常识，选项B主谓不一致，选项C不合上下文，应一一排除。

小题14:B连词辨析。A如果B尽管C于是D如何；与下一分句形成对比关系。

小题15:B固定搭配。根据语境，应为“不知道写什么” Write about….。

小题16:A上下文串联。根据look at和Time was running out 可推知。

小题17:A短语辨析。A 放弃B推迟C环顾D思考。一题未做完又做下一题，说明暂时放弃前一题。

小题18:D上下文串联。从第四个空格前的内容可知Jane 极不愿意不及格并补考，为此刻苦学习了一年，而考试时却一败涂地，怎能不会焦急、伤心。

小题19:B动词辨析。A抬起B苏醒C站立D欢呼；身体的剧烈晃动导致自己从睡梦中“醒”来。

小题20:C形容词辨析。A好B非常棒C可怕D特别；原来做的是一个“可怕的”梦。

点评：本文讲述了Jane患上了考试焦虑症的情况介绍。本文要求考生具有扎实的英语词组、短语、习惯用法等英语搭配的知识，这对于理解文章的逻辑关系特别有利。文章的逻辑关系不外乎列举、原因、结果、让步、对照、补充、目的、条件等关系。解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索，如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章，因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。
