【解析】

试题分析：

1. 考查固定句式。Sb be doing sth when….某人正在做某事在这时….（发生意料之外的事情）；本句中的when是一个并列连词，引导的是并列句。老和尚带着两个小和尚正从一个镇向另外一个镇出发，在这时他们看见了一个湖。

2. the 本句中使用定冠词the特指上文出现的那个老和尚。

3. younger 根据上文可知和老和尚一起的是两个小和尚，本句是指老和尚让较小的那个和尚帮他取水。

4. 本句考查的分词短语做定语用法。名词cart与动词draw之间构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词短语在句中作定语修饰前面的名词cart。

5. 本题考查的是非限制性定语从句。Which指代前面一句话的内容，在句中做主语。

6. 上下文串联。句意：小和尚想：我怎么能把如此肮脏的水给师傅喝？所以他没有带水就回来了。根据句义可知本句表示否定的意思。

7. it 本句中的it指代不可数名词water，作为动词drink的逻辑宾语。句意：我认为这种水不合适喝。

8. was asked 本句考查被动语态。同一个小和尚被请求去取水。本文叙述的是过去发生的事情，所以要使用一般过去时的被动语态的形式。

9. settled 本句考查时态。句意：小和尚发现水已经沉淀下来了，所以他去了一壶水。在小和尚又一次来取水之前，水就已经沉淀下来了。所以应该使用过去完成时。

10. 本句考查的是主语从句，what引导起这个主语从句，并在主语从句中做动词do的逻辑宾语。
