本文是一篇記敘文，講述了一位父親和三個兒子的故事，三個兒子很貪婪，經(jīng)常為了得到更多的動詞互相打架、爭斗。這位父親為了制止這種行為，想到了一個辦法，讓三個兒子分別折斷一大捆不棒，結(jié)果均以失敗告終，當(dāng)這位父親把這一大捆不棒分成三組，并給每個兒子一組，結(jié)果三個兒子非常輕松地就將木棒折斷。通過這則故事，這位父親告訴他的三個兒子一個道理：眾人拾柴火焰高。希望三個兒子能互幫互助直到死亡。

【1】句意：每天，三兄弟會為了得到更多的東西而打架。

根據(jù)Sons, stop fighting with each other. 兒子們，停止互相打斗。可知三兄弟每天打架，而且此處的時態(tài)是一般過去時，將fight變成fought。故填fought。

【2】句意：在幾天深思熟慮之后，這位父親想出了一個好主意。

根據(jù)The father came up with a good idea. He gathered his three sons to express his dying wish.這位父親想出了一個好主意，他把三個兒子召集起來表達他的臨終遺愿�？芍�，這位父親是經(jīng)過認真、仔細的考慮之后，才想到了的主意。此處需要一個副詞來修飾think。故填deeply。

【3】句意：每個兒子都大聲說自己能夠做到，彼此展開了競爭。

根據(jù)“That is easy.” “Give it to me.” “這太容易了”。“給我”�？芍�當(dāng)時三個兄弟時互不相讓，互相競爭。所以此處需要固定搭配one another互相。故填another。

【4】句意：這位父親遞給他們一大捆木棒。

根據(jù)句意可知，這位父親將一大捆木棒給了他們。需要一個表示“給，傳遞”的動詞，hand sth. to sb. 把某物遞給某人，同時時態(tài)是一般過去時。故填handed。

【5】句意：二兒子嘲笑他哥哥，并且挑戰(zhàn)要折斷這一捆木棒。

根據(jù)There once lived three greedy(貪婪的) brothers in a town. 在一個鎮(zhèn)子上曾經(jīng)住著貪婪的三兄弟。Then, the youngest son came forward. 緊接著，最小的兒子走上前來�？芍�，此處需要一個序數(shù)詞來表示“第二個兒子”，second符合題意。故填second。

【6】句意：他也做不到（他也無法折斷這一捆木棒）。

根據(jù)前一句laugh at his older brother和本句中的either，可知他的哥哥沒有成功，所以他嘲笑哥哥，緊接著自己去挑戰(zhàn)，也未成功。either用在否定句中，表示“也”。 able to do sth.能夠做某事，此處用其否定形式。故填unable。

【7】句意：但是，結(jié)果還是一樣的。

根據(jù)The second son laughed at his older brother and challenged in breaking the bundle. He was unable to do it, either. 可知，大兒子和二兒子都不能將這一捆木棒折斷；再根據(jù)本句中but表示轉(zhuǎn)折和the same（一樣），可知，三個兒子最終的結(jié)果都一樣。故填result。

【8】句意：然后，這位父親將這一大捆木棒分成了三組，并且遞給每個兒子一組。

本題考查的是divid sth. into… 的固定搭配，意為“把……分成……”，此處是將“一大捆木棒”分成了“三小捆木棒”。故填into。

【9】句意：然后，他們的臉上浮現(xiàn)出了笑容。

根據(jù)The three sons could break them easily. 可知，三個兒子很容易就將父親分給他們的木棒折斷了，結(jié)果很成功，他們很開心，所以臉上出現(xiàn)了笑容。故填smile。

【10】句意：父親溫和地建議他們：“如果你們?nèi)齻�人齊心協(xié)力，就沒有你們做不到的事情。互幫互助直到死亡”。

本題考查條件狀語從句。there is nothing you can’t do沒有你們不能做的事情，這屬于結(jié)果；the three of you stand together 你們?nèi)齻�齊心協(xié)力，這屬于條件。如果你們齊心協(xié)力，就沒有做不到的事情。所以此處需要用if來引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句。故填if。
