【答案与简析】

1. B 这里的it指the farm。“在农场”要说“on the farm”。

2. A 这句话的意思是“尽管他只有11岁，这个男孩不得不与父母一起做事”。

3． D see sb. doing sth.为固定结构，意为“看到某人正在做某事”。这句话意为“看到其他孩子上学去，这个男孩总是哭”。

4． C bring是“带来”，过去式是brought；take是“拿走，带走”，过去式是took；而bought是buy的过去式。本句意为“他们带来了老虎……”。

5． B interest表示“使……感兴趣”，考虑到发生在过去，应用interested。

6． B “have（has）been to+地点”是“去过……（地方）”的意思，而there是副词，前面不加to。本句意为“甚至有些人去过那里几次”。

7． D without eating anything 意为“不吃任何东西”。

8． D 从后句“The tigers will hurt you!”可以推断出所填的单词是dangerous。

9． C “What if...？”表示“如果……会怎样？”句意为“如果它们从笼子里逃出来怎么办？”。

10． C 句意为“我会爬进笼子并关上门”。此空和前面的“climb into the cage”是并列结构，故要用相同的形式。
