【解析】

文章大意：本文講農(nóng)夫丟了栓驢子的繩子后為看著驢子無法入睡，一位老人建議他假裝項平常栓驢，結果在沒有繩子的情況下，驢子也沒有逃走。拴住驢的不是繩子，而是它自己。

【1】句意：這地方很遠，而工作很辛苦，因此在他們的回程中，農(nóng)夫總是停下來休息。

traditional傳統(tǒng)的；enjoyable令人愉快的；hard辛苦的；enough足夠的。根據(jù)下文“the farmer always stopped to rest”可知農(nóng)夫總中途休息，推出工作很辛苦。故選C。

【2】句意：農(nóng)夫晚上去睡覺前，把他的驢子拴在一棵樹上。

die死亡；work工作；travel旅行；sleep睡覺。根據(jù)空后“at night”可推出是說睡覺之前發(fā)生的事。故選D。

【3】句意：然而，有一天不能找到繩子了。

stand忍受；get得到；find找到；choose選擇。根據(jù)下文“If I don’t tie my donkey up, it’ll run away.”可知農(nóng)夫沒法把驢子拴到樹上了，應該是找不到繩子了。故選C。

【4】句意：他最終挨著驢子睡了通過抓著驢耳朵來防止它逃跑。

nearly幾乎；finally最終；hardly幾乎不；clearly清楚地。根據(jù)上一段內(nèi)容可知農(nóng)夫沒有找到繩子又害怕驢子逃跑，推出此次是說最終挨著驢子睡覺。故選B。

【5】句意：驢子不舒服，而農(nóng)夫夜里也休息不好。

important重要的；outgoing外向的；serious嚴肅的；comfortable舒服的。根據(jù)上文“kept it from running away by catching its ears”可知農(nóng)夫抓著驢子的耳朵睡覺，可推出驢子是不舒服的。故選D。

【6】句意：他問發(fā)生了什么。

who誰；why為什么；what什么；which哪一個。根據(jù)題干中“____ was going on”可推出是問發(fā)生了什么，用what符合題意。故選C。

【7】句意：帶你的驢子去通常的地方，假裝把它拴在那里。

farm農(nóng)場；place地方；bedroom臥室；town城鎮(zhèn)。根據(jù)上文中“he tied his donkey to a tree”可知平時都把驢子拴在樹上，A、C、D三項均不符合題意，此處用the usual place表示通常的地方。故選B。

【8】句意：農(nóng)夫照這人說的做。

as正如；when當……時；if如果；because因為。根據(jù)下文“Although there was no rope, the donkey didn’t ____”可知農(nóng)夫照著老人的方法做了，應該用as。故選A。

【9】句意：盡管沒有繩子，但是驢子沒有離開。

leave離開；eat吃；laugh笑；work工作。根據(jù)上文“It will not run away.”可知此處是說驢子沒有逃跑，用leave符合題意。故選A。

【10】句意：就在那時農(nóng)夫明白了老人的話。

articles文章；words言語；discussions討論；jokes笑話。根據(jù)上文中“… the old man said …”可知此處是說明白了老人的話，用words符合題意。故選B。
