【3】a

【4】hid

【5】to remove

【6】difficulty。

【7】it

【8】saying

【9】will be

【10】strength

【解析】

【1】But。考查连词。句意为: 但他想先弄清楚他们是否值得他的帮助。

【2】 whether/if。考查从句连接词。whether/if引导宾语从句, 表示“是否”。

【3】 a。考查冠词。此处意为: 他放了一块大石头。

【4】 hid。考查时态。根据上下文可知应为一般过去时。

【5】 to remove。考查非谓语动词。try to do sth. 竭力做某事。

【6】difficulty。考查词性转换。some后接名词, 且difficulty为不可数名词。

【7】 it。考查代词。此处代指前面提到的the stone。

【8】saying。考查非谓语动词。he和say之间是主动关系, 现在分词作伴随状语。

【9】will be。考查时态。从下面的will come可知用一般将来时。
