【解析】

试题分析:

 结合下文It’s time for me to teach you how to make可知句意为我要教给你我知道的关于手表的所有知识。前有助动词will，故填teach。

 结合下文After about six months ,可知句意为：在开始几周，故填序数词first。

 结合下文可知詹姆斯做的不错，可知本句句意为：他工作努力，对顾客很有帮助。结合be动词was可知后面用help的形容词形式，故填helpful。Be helpful to 对……有帮助的。

 .结合上下文可知他的父亲乔治对他很满意。结合be动词was可知此处用形容词格式，故填pleased，满意的。

 考察短语make money。结合下文how we get so much money；we don’t make most of the money from it。可知此处是交给詹姆斯如何挣钱，故填money。

 .结合下文可知句意为：你以一个低价买手表，然后以一个更高的价格卖掉他们。故填high的比较级higher。

 .结合下文可知句意为：是那样，但是我们所有的前不是从这里面赚的。上下文为转折关系，故填连词but。

 .结合上文可知此处是卖掉它的意思，介词后面不能接动词，故sell需变成动名词形式。另外通过下文相同结构：we make our money from fixing也可以判断此处应用动名词。

 通过下文父亲的描述Those cheap ones get us more money than any other watch in the shop.”

可知詹姆斯答错了，故填形容词wrong，错的。

 .结合上文可知这句话表达的意思是我们通过修理他们挣钱。本句中代词指代前文提到的那些便宜的手表，此处代词作动词宾语，故填they的宾格形式them。

考点：记叙文阅读理解

点评：本文通过父子两个关于如何赚钱的对话，告诉我们他们赚钱的奥秘不是低买高卖，而是通过修理那些便宜的易坏的手表来赚到钱。同时也告诉读者不要贪小便宜吃大亏，买东西一定要注重质量。阅读中需仔细体味父亲的话，根据上下文内容进行合理的推理联系。弄懂全文后在着手解答问题。
