【1】C句意:一天一个会魔法的人给了这个国王一个竖琴。offer 提供;offers 第三人称单数形式;offered 过去式;has offered现在完成时。根据文意可知,这个故事使用的是一般过去时态,故选C。
【2】A句意:国王把竖琴拿到了宫殿,但是当他弹奏的时候,竖琴发出的声音非常难听。when 当……时候;before 在……之前;if 如果;because 因为。根据句意可知,当国王弹琴的时候,竖琴发出难听的声音,故应选A。
【3】B句意:其他的很多人都试了试。another 另一个,表示不定数目中的另一个;other 其他的,形容词;others 其他人或物;the other两者中的另一个。根据句意可知选B。
【4】C句意:他们都一致说这个竖琴没有用,国王被骗了。used 使用,过去式;using 使用,现在分词;useless 没用的,形容词;uselessness没用,名词。根据句意可知,竖琴发出的声音很难听,所以它是没有用的,这里应该填形容词,在句中做表语。故选C。
【5】D句意:后来一个可怜的小女孩发现了这个竖琴。late 晚的,迟到的,可以做副词或形容词;lately 最近;latest 最新的;later……之后,后来。根据文意可知,这里是继续讲述这个故事,竖琴被当做垃圾扔掉了,后来被一个小女孩发现了。故选D。

【8】A句意:事实上这是一个有魔法的竖琴,付出努力的人才能把它演奏得好。A和an是不定冠词,修饰可数名词单数,泛指一个……;the是定冠词,表示特指这个……。根据句意,这里是说一个有魔法的竖琴,magic不是元音开头,故选A。
【9】D句意:当国王看到那个小女孩正在弹的是他的旧琴的时候,他充满了喜悦。in 在……里面;of …的;by 通过某种方式;with和……一起,带有。这里是短语be filled with,充满……。故选D。
