Answer 1

【答案】

【1】who

【2】But

【3】a

【4】hid

【5】Another

【6】it

【7】saying

【8】will be

【9】strength

【10】Under

【解析】

【1】there lived 是句子的谓语动词，所以后面是一个定语从句，a rich man 是先行词，定语从句中缺主语，故填who。

【2】前面说“这个有钱人想帮助他自己人。”下面说“首先他想弄清楚是否他们值得帮助”。前后联系可知此处表示转折，故填But。

【3】stone 是可数名词，“他在城镇主要街道放了一块大石头”，所以此处填a。

【4】hide 和waited 并列，所以hide 用一般过去时态，“他等在一棵树后面等。故填hid。

【5】前面提到有一个人过来了，他绕过这块石头，继续赶路，此处表达又来了一个人，并且做了同样的事情。泛指另一个人，故填Another。

【6】句意：他们所有的人抱怨这块石头，但没有人想到把它挪走。It指代前面提到的石头，故填it。

【7】saw是谓语动词，所以后面的say是非谓语动词，用现在分词表示伴随状态，故填 saying。

【8】从后面“一些邻居晚些时候将会从这里走过，将会被绊倒”，可知此处用一般将来时态“晚上将会很黑”。故填will be。

【9】他用尽全力推拉这块石头。his 后面用名词，strong 是形容词，故填strength力气、力量。

【10】他发现了一大袋钱，根据常理，前面应该是说“在这块石头底下”。故填Under。
