【解析】这是一则小故事。一个伐木工每天都非常努力地工作，但是砍的树却越来越少，原来他只顾着砍树，却没有将斧子磨得锋利。

【1】考查词性转换。此处需要副词修饰后面的形容词，所以用really。

【2】考查固定短语。be determined to do sth.下定决心做某事。所以填to do。

【3】考查动词时态。这篇文章讲述的是过去的事情，整篇都是用的过去时，而这里show与前面的gave并列，所以也用过去时，故填showed。

【4】考查名词。congratulation名词，祝贺，常用复数，所以填Congratulations。

【5】考查非谓语动词。这是非谓语动词做状语，motivate与主语the woodcutter之间是被动关系，故填motivated。

【6】考查连词。第二天伐木工更加努力地工作，但是他只砍了15棵树，两句话之间是转折关系，所以填but。

【7】考查副词的比较级。此处表示与前两天的比较，所以用比较级，故填harder。

【8】考查连词。比较级and比较级，表示越来越……。less and less trees越来越少的树。故填and。

【9】考查宾语从句。这是一个宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，再根据句意可知填what。

【10】考查固定短语。be busy doing sth.忙着做某事。故填trying。
