【解析】

本文是记叙文。两个男孩一起走路穿过沙漠，途中因为争吵，高个的打了矮个的一个耳光，矮个男子把它写在沙子里；后来在洗澡时，矮个子男孩深陷泥土，被高个子救起来。他在石头上刻下：今天我的好朋友救了我的命。这告诉我们：当有人伤害了 你，把它写在沙子里；当他做了好的事情，把它刻在石头永远记录。

【1】考查形容词比较级和语境辨析。句意：______男孩打了矮个子的一个耳光。 tall高的；taller更高的，是比较级；tallest最高的。前面提到的是两个朋友，一个是矮的，另一个应该是比较高的，故选B。

【2】考查非谓语动词和语境辨析。句意：矮个男孩受到伤害，但是他没有说什么。saying是动名词；say是动词原形；said是过去式。根据空格前的介词without可知，后面用动名词作宾语，故选A。

【3】考查代词和语境辨析。句意：今天我最好的朋友打了我的脸。 I是主格人称代词；my物主代词，我的；me是宾格人称代词。动词slap后面用人称代词宾格me，故选C。

【4】考查连词和语境辨析。句意：他们继续走，直到发现了一个池塘。till直到；after在以后；because因为。根据句意可知选A。

【5】考查动词不定式用法。句意：他们决定在那里洗澡。 to take动词不定式； took过去式； take动词原形。短语decide to do sth.决定做某事，decide后跟动词不定式作宾语，故选A。

【6】考查介词和语境辨析。句意：但是矮个男孩被深陷在泥土中，开始下沉。on在上面；in 在里面；at在旁边。在泥中用介词in，故选B。

【7】考查形容词和语境辨析。句意：幸运地，他被朋友拉到的安全地方。safe形容词，安全的； safely副词，安全地；safety名词，安全。介词to后跟名词，故选C。

【8】考查动词的主谓一致。句意：当某人伤害了你，你应该把它写在沙子里，大风能够容易地擦掉。 hurt动词原形，伤害；hurts单数第三人称形式；hurting动名词。不定代词someone是单数第三人称，一般现在时的谓语动词用hurts，故选B。

【9】考查副词和语境辨析。句意：大风能够容易地擦掉。 easily副词，容易地；easy形容词原形，容易的；easier更容易的，是比较级。修饰动词eraser用副词原形easily，故选A。

【10】考查形容词和语境辨析。句意：然而，当某人做了对你______的事情，你必须把它刻在石头上，大风不能抹去。 harmful有害的；bad坏的；good好的。根据常识可知，和造成伤害的事情相反的是好的事情，故选C。
