【解析】試題分析：短文大意：本文敘述了布萊克先生失業(yè)后和幾個老人在樹下談?wù)摰氖虑�。他們都認為老人比年輕人聰明。他們也都認為年輕人比老人強壯。但是布萊克先生不這樣認為。他說，他年輕時搬不動他家附近的一塊石頭，現(xiàn)在老了，還是搬不動那塊石頭，所以他認為年老時和年輕時一樣強壯。

【1】考查形容詞及語境理解。句意：所以他每天有很多時間去做事。many 許多的，修飾可數(shù)名詞； a lot 很多；lots of 很多的，修飾可數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞；lot份額。修飾不可數(shù)名詞time，故用lots of，所以選C。

【2】考查動詞短語及語境理解。句意：他們在那里喝茶，談?wù)撍麄兿矚g的任何事情。talked for 為……說話；talked to 與……交談；talked with 與……交談；talked about.談?wù)撽P(guān)于；此處的賓語是anything，故結(jié)合句意，表示談?wù)撃呈�，所以選D。

【3】考查形容詞及語境理解。句意：他們都認為老人比年輕人更聰明。clever 聰明的； cleverer 更聰明的； cleverest 最聰明的； a clever一個聰明的；根據(jù)介詞than，可知此處用形容詞的比較級，所以選B。

【4】考查名詞及語境理解。句意：其中一個老人說，小伙子比老頭子更強壯。man男人； woman 女人； men 男人們； women 女人們；根據(jù)前文的some old men were sitting together again 可知此處是一些老男人，所以選C。

【5】考查代詞及語境理解。句意：他們所有人都同意這是對的。All 所有，表示三者或三者以上；None 沒有一個，表示三者或三者以上；Both 兩個都；Neither兩者都不；根據(jù)some old men可知此處是三人以上，結(jié)合句意表示同意，所以選A。

【6】考查連詞及語境理解。句意：但是布萊克先生不這樣認為。 so 所以；or 或者；and 而且；but但是。前半句大家都同意，后半句布萊克先生不這樣認為，故此處表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故用連詞but，所以選D。

【7】考查介詞及語境理解。句意：他的朋友對他所說的話感到驚訝。at 在；to 向；of 的；on 在……上面。be surprised at“對……感到驚訝”所以選A。

【8】考查非謂語動詞及語境理解。句意：當(dāng)我年輕的時候，我過去常常努力著去搬它，但是搬不動。trying 努力，現(xiàn)在分詞； try 努力，動詞原形； to try 努力，動詞不定式； to trying努力。used to do sth過去常常做某事；be used to doing sth.習(xí)慣做某事。結(jié)合句意，表示過去常常搬，所以選C。

【9】考查形容詞及語境理解。句意：因為我不夠強壯，我搬不動。enough修飾形容詞時，位于形容詞的后面，故排除BD兩項。strong enough 足夠強壯的weak enough 足夠虛弱的； 根據(jù)but I couldn’t可知我搬不動，是因為不夠強壯，所以選A。

【10】考查情態(tài)動詞及語境理解。句意：現(xiàn)在我老了，我努力去搬它，還是搬不動。can 能；can’t 不能；could 能，can的過去式； couldn’t不能，can’t 的過去式；根據(jù)I am an old man now,可知此處用一般現(xiàn)在時，結(jié)合句意，表示不能搬動，所以選B。
