【解析】

本文主要講述了一位六十多歲的老婦人機(jī)智地將死神困在樹(shù)上的故事。

【1】句意：她非常細(xì)心地照料這棵樹(shù)。

slowly慢慢地；carelessly粗心地；quickly迅速地；carefully仔細(xì)地。根據(jù)“A woman in her sixties lived alone in her little cottage with a pear tree at her door.”可知，老婦人獨(dú)居，院子里有棵樹(shù)，所以她應(yīng)該是很細(xì)心地照顧這棵樹(shù)。故選D。

【2】句意：他們會(huì)爬上她的樹(shù)，然后拿著梨子跑掉，對(duì)她大喊“Aunty Misery”。

shouting大叫；laughing笑；looking看；shooting射擊。根據(jù)其后“…‘Aunty Misery’ at her.”可知，此處表示孩子們對(duì)她說(shuō)的話，構(gòu)成“shout…at…”短語(yǔ)，翻譯為“對(duì)……大叫……”。故選A。

【3】句意：看到他有一張誠(chéng)實(shí)的臉，她讓他進(jìn)來(lái)了并給了他一個(gè)好吃的梨子。

interesting有趣的；honest誠(chéng)實(shí)的；handsome英俊的；strange陌生的。根據(jù)“she let him in and gave him a nice ____4____.”可知，老婦人讓他進(jìn)來(lái)了，所以他長(zhǎng)著一張誠(chéng)實(shí)的臉。故選B。

【4】句意：看到他有一張誠(chéng)實(shí)的臉，她讓他進(jìn)來(lái)了并盛情款待了他。

lunch午餐；gift禮物；pear梨；treat款待。分析前后文以及“One evening, a passer-by asked to stay for the night”可知，不可能是午餐。此處構(gòu)成“give sb a nice treat”短語(yǔ)，翻譯為“盛情款待某人”。故選D。

【5】句意：也就是說(shuō)，任何爬上她的樹(shù)的人都不能再下來(lái)，除非她允許。

agreed同意；allowed允許；permitted允許；asked請(qǐng)求。根據(jù)“They had to beg her long before she gave the tree permission to let them go.”可知，此處“允許”使用名詞permission表示，所以動(dòng)詞也應(yīng)用相應(yīng)的permit。故選C。

【6】句意：當(dāng)孩子們回來(lái)偷她的水果時(shí)，她把他們困在了樹(shù)上。

stuck困��；caught抓住；live居�。�stay待。根據(jù)后文“Mr. Death climbed up the tree ____10____and was immediately stuck to it.”可知，此處表示“困住”的含義，故選A。

【7】句意：Aunty Misery終于從這個(gè)問(wèn)題中解脫出來(lái)了。

fun樂(lè)趣；question問(wèn)題（需要尋找答案的問(wèn)題）；danger危險(xiǎn)；problem問(wèn)題（難以解決的問(wèn)題）。分析“When the children came back to steal her fruit”可知，孩子們不來(lái)?yè)v亂了，所以Aunty Misery終于從這個(gè)難以解決的問(wèn)題中解脫出來(lái)了。故選D。

【8】句意：好吧，但是我想從我愛(ài)的梨樹(shù)上摘一些梨來(lái)紀(jì)念它給我?guī)��?lái)的快樂(lè)時(shí)光。

choose選擇；shake搖動(dòng)；pick摘；hit擊打。根據(jù)其后“…some pears from my dear tree…”可知，此處表示“我想從我愛(ài)的梨樹(shù)上摘一些梨”的含義。故選C。

【9】句意：但是我太老了，爬不上去摘水果。

short矮的；old年老的；poor貧窮的；stupid愚蠢的。根據(jù)前文“A woman in her sixties”可知，老婦人已經(jīng)六十幾歲了，所以此處表示“但是我太老了，爬不上去摘水果”的含義。故選B。

【10】句意：死神長(zhǎng)嘆一聲，不情愿地爬上了樹(shù)，立刻就被困住了。

carefully仔細(xì)地；disappointedly失望地；unwillingly不情愿地；cheerfully振奮地。根據(jù)“With a deep sigh”可知，死神嘆了口氣，所以此處表示“不情愿地”含義。故選C。
