【解析】
【1】meanest考察比较级。文意是我的母亲是世界上最吝啬的人,所以要用形容词的最高级形式。
【2】others 考察代词。others指代前文的other kids,文意是当其他的孩子午餐吃甜食时,我只能吃三明治。
【3】wasn’t 考察时态。文中时态是过去式,所以前后时态要保持一致。文意是但我并不孤独。
【4】as 考察介词。 the same as 是固定搭配,表示“和........一样”,文意是但我并不觉得孤独,因为我的弟弟妹妹和我一样有个吝啬的母亲。
【5】who / where考察引导词。文意是我的朋友经常在哪里/是谁。
【6】by/ before/ at考察介词。文意是我们必须在晚上九点上床睡觉,早上八点起床。
【7】thinking考察动名词。动名词短语作主语。文意是为我们想一些吝啬的事情。
【8】children考察名词。文意是我们四个孩子当中,有两个接受了高等教育。children有数词修饰,所以要用复数形式。
【9】None考察代词。None表示“一个也没有”,文意我们四人没有一个人干过坏事。
【10】educated考察形容词。动词的过去分词形式可做形容词使用。文意是她强制使我们成长为有教养,诚实的人。
