【解析】曾經(jīng)在森林里有幾位科學家，他們正在研究世界上最稀有的動物，沒有人看到過它，所以每個人都很興奮，都想成為第一個拍攝它的人。

【1】根據(jù)第一段第三句 wanted to be the first one to photograph and study it 可知，科學家們都想成為第一個拍攝到這種稀有動物并且研究（study）它的人。feed 意為“喂養(yǎng)”，catch 意為“抓”，kill 意為“殺”，均不符合題意。故選B。

【2】根據(jù)上文 No one had seen it 可知，還沒有人見過這種動物，因此大家都十分興奮（excited）想要去拍攝和研究。relaxed 意為“輕松的”，tired 意為“疲倦的”，surprised 意為“驚訝的”，均不符合題意。故選C。

【3】根據(jù)上下文可知，這種動物只在晚上出來活動，所以科學家們白天就做其他研究�？仗幥昂蟊硎疽蚬�關(guān)系，故 so 符合題意。but 意為“但是”，表轉(zhuǎn)折；or 意為“或者”，表選擇；and 意為“和”，表并列。均不符合題意。故選D。

【4】根據(jù)下文 there was a famous scientist named Walter 可知，有一個著名的科學家叫 Walter，在科學家們之中，是其中一員。among 意為“在…之中”，用于三者或三者以上的“在…之間”。因為空處位于句首，首字母需大寫，故 Among 符合題意。beside 意為“在旁邊”，against 意為“對抗”，except 意為“除了”，均不符合題意。故選A。

【5】根據(jù)最后一段第二句 They now understood the importance of keeping things in order 可知，科學家們知道了把物品按順序放好的重要性。所以 Walter 每天都會把他的設(shè)備放在正確的（right）地方。clean 意為“干凈的”，safe 意為“安全的”，public 意為“公共的”，均不符合題意。故選B。

【6】根據(jù)上下文可知，其他科學家都嘲笑 Walter，因為他們覺得他是在浪費時間（time）。space 意為“空間”，money 意為“錢”，food 意為“食物”，均不符合題意。故選D。

【7】根據(jù)第三段第四句 they were scrabbling (忙亂地找) for their cameras and notebooks 可知，科學家們忙亂地找他們得相機和筆記本。所以動物是突然地（suddenly）出現(xiàn)的。angrily 意為“氣憤地”，immediately 意為“立即地”，quickly 意為“迅速地”，均不符合題意。故選C。

【8】根據(jù)下文 they were scrabbling (忙亂地找) for their cameras and notebooks 可知，科學家們手忙腳亂找設(shè)備的吵鬧聲嚇跑了動物。noise 意為“噪音，吵鬧聲”，因為有各種噪音，需用復數(shù)形式，故 noises 符合題意。plan 意為“計劃”，record 意為“記錄”，mistake 意為“錯誤”，均不符合題意。故選B。

【9】根據(jù)第四段第二句 Some had tried to record its call, others had noted down how it moved 可知，有的科學家嘗試錄下動物的叫聲，有的記錄了它是如何移動的。所以第二天早晨應(yīng)是對各自的發(fā)現(xiàn)進行比較。因全文為過去時態(tài)，故動詞過去式 compared 符合題意。count 意為“計算”，sort 意為“分類”，keep 意為“保持”，均不符合題意。故選A。

【10】根據(jù)上文 when they saw what Walter had, they were very surprised 可知，當其他科學家看到 Walter 的成果后，他們都驚呆了,因為他（He）拍了幾張完整的圖片，空處位于句首，故首字母需大寫。故 He 符合題意。故選C。
