A. finished B. did C. began D. had【解析】C。这里did和finished都表示完成了这项工作，而给篮子装满水是不可能的，国王应在两人开始打水后不久离开，所以应选began。(B)2. A. ever B. neve
5、r C. easily D. no【解析】B。往篮子里盛满水是永远不可能的，故选择never。(A)3. A. The other B. Another C. One D. A second【解析】A。两者中的另一个用the other加名词来表示。(C)4. A. anything B. something C. nothing D. everything【解析】C。the first man想离开，因为他觉得自己干的是无用功，故选择nothing意为“从事某项工作”。(D)5. A. picked up B. put away C. took away D. threw away【解析】D

A. full B. empty C. filled D. clean【解析】B。不停地打水必然会导致井空，故选empty。(B)8. A. While B. As soon as C. Before D. Since【解析】B。while引导从句时，从句应用延续性动词，before和s
7、ince不符合文意，as soon as表示“一就”为正确选项。(A)9. A. have done B. will do C. do D. are doing【解析】A国王是因为这个诚实的人所做过的事情而表扬他，所以应用完成时态have done。(D)10. A. what B. why C. when D. that【解析】D。国王讲的最后一句话是含有 “sothat”结构的复合句，意为“如此以致”故选that。语法填空。阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。【辽宁卷题型】W: Oh, Frank_1_(be) in your class? He
