【回答】
本文讲述了一个国王为了考验两个人,让他们往篮子里打水,忠诚的人不遗余力地往空篮子里打水,直到国王归来。结果不仅获得了一枚金戒指,而且得到了国王的信任。
1. C【解析】。这里did和finished都表示完成了这项工作,而给篮子装满水是不可能的,国王应在两人开始打水后不久离开,所以应选began。
2.B【解析】往篮子里盛满水是永远不可能的,故选择never。
3.A【解析】两者中的另一个用the other加名词来表示。
4.C【解析】the first man想离开,因为他觉得自己干的是无用功,故选择nothing意为“从事某项工作”。
5.D【解析】pick up意为“捡起”,pick away意为“放好”,take away意为“取走”,而throw down意为“扔掉、丢弃”,比较贴近文意,为正确选项。
6.A【解析】。根据文意,另一个人一直在打水,故选water。
7.B【解析】不停地打水必然会导致井空,故选empty。
8.B【解析】while引导从句时,从句应用延续*动词,before和since不符合文意,as soon as…表示“一……就”为正确选项。
9.A 【解析】国王是因为这个诚实的人所做过的事情而表扬他,所以应用完成时态have done。
10.D国王讲的最后一句话是含有 “so……that”结构的复合句,意为“如此……以致”故选that。
