【解析】

试题分析：文章讲述一个有钱人想帮助别人，但是想看看这些人值不值得帮助，他用一块大石头试探人们。

【1】who 考查定语从句。先行词指人，定语从句缺少主语，故填who。

【2】But 考查连词。句意：他想确认一下镇上的人是否值得他帮助。与前面他想帮助人形成转折关系。

【3】a 考查冠词。泛指一块大石头，a large stone。

【4】hid 考查动词形式。考查hide的过去式。

【5】Another 考查上下文串联。泛指“另一个人”用another，也可以根据后文then another came, and another.知道填another。

【6】it 考查代词。前文提到的事物，再次提到用代词代替，以避免重复。故填it。

【7】saying 考查非谓语动词。动词say与主语He是主动关系，故用动词-ing形式。

【8】will be 考查时态。从后面“一些邻居晚些时候将会从这里走过，将会被绊倒”，可知此处用一般将来时态。故填will be。

【9】strength 考查名词。他用尽全力推拉这块石头。his是形容词性物主代词，后面用名词，strong是形容词，故填其名词形式strength表“力气、力量”。

【10】to find 考查固定结构。only to do表示“结果……”是固定用法，故填to find。
