【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍作者龙卷风的一次经历。

【1】were carried 句意：他们差不多被带走了一英里远。此处用一般过去时态的被动语态，故填were carried。

【2】that 此处是so---that引导的结果状语从句，故填that。

【3】description 句意：对难以置信的飞行的描述。此处用名词形式，故填description。

【4】it 句意：这似乎是很长的时间。此处用it表示时间。

【5】going 现在分词做结果状语，故填going。

【6】distant 形容词修饰名词，故填distant。

【7】which 此处a horse做先行词，指物，后面的定语从句缺少主语和引导词，故填which。

【8】the 此处是特指前面提到的horse，故填the.

【9】but 上下文联系可知此处表示转折，“但是它没有”，故填but。

【10】upon / on 句意：很荣幸我到了地面。land on/upon 登录在---，故填upon / on。

【知识拓展】

“so+形容词或副词”位于句首时的倒装：

副词so后接形容词或副词位于句首时，其后用部分倒装：

如：So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home. 天气太冷，我们只好呆在家里。
