答案：D;B;A;C;B;B;A;D;C;C
解析：

　　答案：1．D;2．B;3．A;4．C;5．B;6．B;7．A;8．D;9．C;10．C

　　【解析】1．one在此指代河马(hippopotamus)，不确定的任何一个河马。2．close down意思是“倒闭”，come down“下来”，turn down(电器的声音)调小、关小一点；fall down“摔倒”。因此，close down的意思在课本中虽然没有，根据排除法，在此就是最佳的。3．教科书上曾出现过一个类似用法。Sheep are kept by the farmers for producing wool and meat．这里的keep意思是“饲养、喂养”之意。4．这种选择实际上是句型和句意的选择。let sb. free在此的意思是“把某人/某物放出来”，在此即是把河马放生，回归自然之意。本句结构是被动语态，宾语(A hippopotamus)已被提到句首作主语了，便形成了let free的结构。5．河马的身躯庞大，仅用一个小小的tub来“装”河马，本来就是一种讽刺，根本就谈不上水深的问题。因此，large就成为唯一的选择了。6．not anything but实际上就是nothing but的转换，而nothing but在初中英语课本中没有出现过！但是平时的练习中有所出现。虽然部分考生做出来了，可都以为but是一个连词！其实不然。but在此是一个介词！意思是“除……之外”，相当于except。nothing but＝only。7．河马这么庞大的动物除了动物园(zoo)，谁还会去养呢？8．本句是指一种假定的条件。“如果孩子们知道了这件事，……”；讲的是孩子们目前还不知道，因此though便不能用了。even是副词，而此却是需要连词。9．既然是写出文章，要发表的地方(newspaper)便是最佳选择了！这一点从后面的孩子们纷纷进行捐款中可得知。10．这是一个难点。很多考生选择了A(answered)，他们以为孩子们都响应了Tex在报纸上的号召，积极进行募捐。实际上，孩子们所进行的募捐是回应Tex的号召，并不是回答Tex的问题！选用did就是说，孩子们按照Tex所说的去做了！考的是考生对词的理解和运用。
