1.从前有一天有个人喜欢非常古老的东西，那么他对年代久远的东西应该是很感兴趣的，old表示此意，故本题选A。
2.根据后文可知躺在碗旁的这个人是猫的主人，owner是主人的意思，故本题选D。
3.选项中符合句意的是主人躺在碗旁，beside表示此意，故选C。
4.根据后文对碗感兴趣的人是不想让碗的主人知道，故本空填bowl，故选B。
5.文章的意思这个人想通过买猫从而得到这个碗，所以本句的意思应该是问农民是否可以把猫卖给他，故填卖的单词sell，选A。
6.根据下句回答的是钱，所以上句问的应该是多少钱，how much对价钱提问，故本题选C。
7.根据文章意思，那个人把钱付了之后，农民应该是同意把猫卖给他，故选同意的单词agree，故选A。
8.这个人想得到的是碗，根据后句提到猫可以用碗来喝水，所以本句的意思应该是猫口渴的时候才去喝水，故本空选口渴的单词thirsty，故选B。
9.本句的意思是我把碗带走，目的是让猫喝到水，不喝，表示目的，可用so that表示为了的意思，故选C。
10.农民不能把碗给那个人，所以应该是说抱歉的话，故选sorry意思较符合，故本题选A。
