Finally, one of the frogs heard what the other frogs 【3】 (say) and gave up, so he died.

The other frog went on jumping as hard as he could 【4】 (get) out. Once again, the other frogs cried at him and told him to stop and just allow 【5】 to die, but he jumped even 【6】 (hard) and finally made himself out.

【解析】

试题分析：文章大意：两只青蛙掉进了深坑里，同伴们都认为它们上不来了，于是就劝它俩放弃，其中一只放弃了，死掉了。而另一只是聋子，它以为同伴们是在鼓励它，于是鼓足勇气，最后一跃跳了出来。

【1】saw 后面接的句子是感叹句，用what引导，What a deep pit it is！多深的一个坑啊！

【2】as good as“跟……一样”前面有were，所以用die的形容词形式dead。

【3】一只青蛙听到其他青蛙在说什么，所以用进行时表示were saying。

【4】另一只青蛙在竭尽所能地往上跳，目的是为了出来，用to do表目的，所以填to get。

【5】其他青蛙向它喊，“别费劲了，放弃吧。”allow sb to do“让某人做某事”，所以sb用himself。

【6】前面出现过hard，这儿用even修饰比较级harder。

【7】青蛙向同伴们解释它的听觉有毛病， something is wrong with his hearing。

【8】短语the whole time“整个时间；所有的时间”

【9】先行词是someone，关系词用who引导定语从句。

【10】帮他们度过一天，用make it through the day。
