　　答案簡析

　　1.D。習(xí)慣用語as many as possible 意為“盡可能多的”合乎文意，為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　2.A。過去進(jìn)行時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)過去正在進(jìn)行的動作，根據(jù)文意Nasreddin看到牛正在吃蔬菜，故選 was eating 。

　　3.D。指過去某一天的第一天或第二天早上、晚上，應(yīng)用the next day/morning/evening。 故應(yīng)選The next morning 。

　　4.C。在從句動作進(jìn)行的過程中，主句動作發(fā)生了，這時(shí)從句常用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，故選擇was walking 。

　　5.B。牛吃蔬菜是貧農(nóng)上街之前的事，文章本身講的是過去的故事，指過去的過去應(yīng)用過去完成時(shí)，故選had eaten。

　　6.A。從句子意思看，空白處前后構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系，故選擇so。

　　7.B。形容詞nearby一般作定語，表示“不遠(yuǎn)的，附近的”，合乎文意，為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　8.D。這里需要一個(gè)引導(dǎo)詞，引導(dǎo)saw的賓語從句，同時(shí)在句子里作do的賓語，故選 what。

　　9.B。do sth. to sb.結(jié)構(gòu)中to后面常接動作的對象。

　　10.C。牛主人問及Nasreddin打牛的原因，這里需要一個(gè)引導(dǎo)詞引導(dǎo) knew的賓語從句，且在從句中作狀語，根據(jù)上文可知這里應(yīng)填 why。
