【解析】

本文講述了一位富人通過在馬路中央放一塊大石頭的方式來尋找值得幫助的人。

【1】句意：但是，首先他想查明要得到他幫助的人們是否足夠好。

work out做出；find out發(fā)現(xiàn)，查明；look out小心；hang out閑逛。下文談到了他躲在大樹的后面等待看看誰會(huì)把那塊石頭移開，最后是那個(gè)年輕人把石頭挪開了。可知他是在查明（find out）要得到他幫助的人們是否足夠好。故選B。

【2】句意：他在通往鎮(zhèn)上的主干道中間放了一塊很大的石頭。

road道路；tree小樹；city城市；theater影院。根據(jù)下文的句子“Who put this stone in the center of the road?”，可知句子說的是：在通往鎮(zhèn)上的主干道（road）中間放了一塊很大的石頭。故選A。

【3】句意：一位老人牽著他的奶牛走了過來。

for為，給；of……的；about關(guān)于，大約；with和。根據(jù)句意可推測(cè)：老人牽著奶牛走過來。這里的with表時(shí)伴隨。故選D。

【4】句意：但是他沒有試圖把石頭移開。

and和；so因此；but但是；or或者。根據(jù)“Who put this stone in the center of the road?”以及下文的句子“Instead, he passed around the stone and continued on his way.”可推測(cè)這位老人只是在抱怨，但是（but）他沒有試圖把石頭移開，而是繞過了石頭繼續(xù)走路。故選C。

【5】句意：另一個(gè)人走過來并且做了同樣的事情。

thing事情；way方法；seat座位；service服務(wù)。結(jié)合下文中的句子“He pulled with all his strength to move it to one side.”可知只有下文那個(gè)年輕人挪開了那塊石頭。這幾個(gè)人都沒有挪這個(gè)石頭。所以本句說的是另一個(gè)人過來了并且做了同樣的事情（thing）。故選A。

【6】句意：他們都抱怨路中間的石頭，但沒有人試圖把它挪開。

some一些；none沒有人；all所有的人；everybody每個(gè)人。根據(jù)下文可知，石頭是由那個(gè)年輕人挪開的。所以這里說的是他們都在抱怨，但是沒有人（none）試圖把它挪開。故選B。

【7】句意：他看到了這塊石頭。

knew知道；choose選擇；saw看見；gave給。根據(jù)下文年輕人挪開這個(gè)石頭，可知這里是他看見了這塊石頭。故選C。

【8】句意：天黑以后，有些人會(huì)來，會(huì)被石頭絆倒。

last最后的；lately最近；later稍后，以后；lastly最后。句子說的是：天黑以后有人會(huì)來。故選C。

【9】句意：年輕人開始挪開這個(gè)石頭。

move移動(dòng)，挪動(dòng)；act行動(dòng)；throw扔；play玩�？崭窈蟮木渥诱劦竭@個(gè)年輕人用盡所有的力氣把這個(gè)石頭移開了�？芍�本句說的是年輕人開始挪動(dòng)（move）這個(gè)石頭。故選A。

【10】句意：但是想象一下當(dāng)他發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)裝滿錢的袋子時(shí)他有多驚訝！stones石頭；menus菜單；prizes獎(jiǎng)賞，獎(jiǎng)；money錢。根據(jù)后文的句子This money is for the thoughtful person who takes this stone away from the road. Thank you.可知他發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)裝滿錢（money）的包。故選D。

聯(lián)系上下文是做完形填空常用的方法，這樣做出的答案更準(zhǔn)確。比如本題中第九小題和第十小題答案的獲取就是通過聯(lián)系上下文而得來的。第九小題答案move的獲取是通過我們讀了后面的句子“He pulled with all his strength to move it to one side.”而得來的，句中談到，他用了全身的力氣把石頭挪到了另一邊。從而得知上文說的是：他開始挪動(dòng)石頭；第十小題也是這樣，通過讀了后面的message，我們才知道那個(gè)包里裝的是錢。才得知答案是money。
