名師點評
這是一個笑話，貧農Nasreddin在街上碰到兩頭牛，搞不清是哪一頭毀壞了他家的菜園，于是用棒子將兩頭牛一起抽打，牛主人制止時，他卻強詞奪理，無理取鬧。
參考答案：
1.D。習慣用語as many as possible 意為盡可能多的合乎文意，為正確選項。
2.A。過去進行時強調過去正在進行的動作，根據文意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，應用the next day/morning/evening。 故應選The next morning 。
4.C。在從句動作進行的過程中，主句動作發生了，這時從句常用進行時態，故選擇was walking 。
5.B。牛吃蔬菜是貧農上街之前的事，文章本身講的是過去的故事，指過去的過去應用過去完成時，故選had eaten。
6.A。從句子意思看，空白處前后構成因果關系，故選擇so。
7.B。形容詞nearby一般作定語，表示不遠的，附近的，合乎文意，為正確選項。
8.D。這里需要一個引導詞，引導saw的賓語從句，同時在句子里作do的賓語，故選 what。
9.B。do sth. to sb。結構中to后面常接動作的對象。
10.C。牛主人問及Nasreddin打牛的原因，這里需要一個引導詞引導 knew的賓語從句，且在從句中作狀語，根據上文可知這里應填 why。
