【解析】

這篇短文通過一個小故事“通往真理的道路”，一個老師拿了一個假蘋果來測驗學(xué)生是否有勇氣講出自己的觀點，告訴大家要敢于嘗試并且相信自己，這樣別人才能相信你。

【1】句意：請在空氣中聞聞他們。

watch觀看；feel感到；smell聞起來； taste嘗起來。

根據(jù)下文“One student ___2___ his hand and said, "I can smell it. It is the smell of an apple.”一個學(xué)生舉起手，說他能聞到是蘋果味道，可知上文是老師讓他們聞聞。故選C。

【2】句意：一個學(xué)生舉起手說：“我聞到了。這是蘋果的味道。

shook搖晃；rose上升； showed出示； raised提升，升高，舉起。這里是舉起手，raise相當于put up，意思是“舉起手來”。故選D。

【3】句意：老師走下講臺，從每個學(xué)生身邊走過，說再聞一聞，看看空氣中是否還有蘋果的味道。

on在……上； behind在……后面；. towards朝，向； off離開。根據(jù)下文“passed by yeach of the students and said. "Smell ___4___ to see if the smell of the apple is still in the air.”可知，這里是說老師走下講臺。step off表示走下……；故選D。

【4】句意：老師走下講臺，從每個學(xué)生身邊走過，說再聞一聞，看看空氣中是否還有蘋果的味道。

later在……之后； once一旦；again在，又； about大約。根據(jù)上文“One student ___2___ his hand and said, "I can smell it. It is the smell of an apple." The teacher stepped ___3___ the platform, passed by yeach of the students and said.”可知，老師走下講臺，讓學(xué)生們再次聞聞。故選C。

【5】句意：老師回到教室前面，又問誰還能聞到蘋果的味道。

front前面； middle中間； back后面； between在……之間；根據(jù)上文“The teacher stepped ___3___ the platform, passed by yeach of the students and said.”可知，下文是老師又走回到講臺的前面。故選A。

【6】句意：男孩回答說：“不，我聞不到。我不認為這是一個真正的蘋果。

real真的； tasty美味的； nice漂亮的； bad壞的。根據(jù)上文“The rest raised their hands except one boy. The teacher came to the boy and asked, "You really can't smell the apple?"“可知，那個男孩說它不是一個真蘋果。故選A。

【7】句意：老師笑著對那個男孩說：“他是對的！

laughed大笑；smiled微笑；shouted大喊；stared盯著。根據(jù)下文”He's right! It's not ___8___ to get the apple smell from this apple.“可知，這里是老師對那個男孩微笑，因為他是對的。短語smile at…朝……微笑；故選B。

【8】句意：這蘋果不可能有蘋果味。

surprising吃驚的； possible可能的；common普通的； natural自然的。根據(jù)上文，老師說那個小男孩是對的，這個蘋果是假蘋果，不能聞到蘋果味道。

故選B。

【9】句意：有些人可能以為蘋果沒有蘋果的味道，但他們不敢說出來。

and和，又； so因此；but但是； or否則，要不然。根據(jù)上文“All of the other students had been tricked. Some may have thought that perhaps the apple didn't have the apple smell“可知，和下文他們不敢說出來，是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故選C。

【10】句意：他們只是隨大流，贊同第一個同學(xué)的觀點。

offered提供； admired欽佩，欣賞； preferred更喜歡； followed跟隨。根據(jù)上文“___9___ they didn't dare to speak up.“可知，這里是說他們隨大流，跟隨第一個同學(xué)說的。故選D。

解答完形填空首先要通讀全文，掌握大意。結(jié)合選項初步弄清短文寫了些什么內(nèi)容。在理解全文意思的基礎(chǔ)上，結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容對空缺句子作合乎邏輯的推理。必須弄清空缺詞句的確切含義，空缺詞句與其前后句的意義銜接必須自然、合理，最后根據(jù)語境，結(jié)合選項，選出正確答案。如，第9小題，先確定每個選項：and和，又； so因此；but但是； or否則，要不然。根據(jù)上文“All of the other students had been tricked. Some may have thought that perhaps the apple didn't have the apple smell“可知，和下文他們不敢說出來，是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故選C。
