试题分析：本文讲述了一个农夫父亲要求年轻人抓住三头公牛中任意一条尾巴作为许配女儿给他的条件，牛一头头过来，年轻人却没有抓住机会，最后一头牛竟没有尾巴，从而错失良机。得出的启示是：人生充满着机遇，要总是抓住首先的机遇，不要错失良机。
1.联系上下文法。从下文 you can marry my daughter（原词复现）结合上一句中fell in love with the farmer’s beautiful daughter可知此处指年轻人希望娶农夫的女儿。
2.联系上下文法。前面提到年轻人希望娶农夫的女儿，因而前往农夫家请求农夫的许可。ask permission请求许可。
3.联系上下文法。从第二段stood in the field（原词复现）可知农夫要求年轻人站在田野里。故选A
4.联系上下文法。从下文中the tail of any one of the three bulls（原词复现）可得知农夫说他会放出三头公牛。
5.联系上下文法。从倒数第二段He threw his hands to catch ...及最后一段catch the first one..（原词复现）可知农夫让年轻人抓三头公牛中任何一头的尾巴，一旦抓住就把女儿许配给他。
6.副词辨析。A.Immediately立刻，马上B.Quietly安静地C.Finally最后，终于D. Proudly自豪地。根据语境，年轻人急切的想娶农夫的女儿，自然会立马按农夫的要求去做，故选A
7.短语辨析。A.talking about谈论，谈到B. thinking of想起，认为C.looking for寻找D.waiting for等待。句意：年轻人站在田里，等着公牛的到来。
8.逻辑推理法。从下文的out came the biggest bull及 the barn door opened again可推断出牛棚被打开，故填opened。
9.动词辨析。A. decided对…作出抉择；决定；选定。根据语境他认为下一头牛是更好得选择，这是他的决定，故选A。B. noticed注意到C. Suggested建议，暗示D.learned得知，获悉，不合题意。
10.联系上下文法。从下一段It had to be a better choice than this one（复现）可知此处选choice
11.联系上下文法。从下一段He let the bull pass through again可知此处选D
12.常识法。三头牛同时在同一天放出，可以推断出：几分钟后，另一头公牛来了，而不是几天，几年或几个月。
13. 从“had never seen ”及“ fierce ”可以推断出第二出场的这头牛又大又凶猛，故选B
14.第二出场的这头牛趴在地上，注视着年轻人。故选C。A.house房子B. Wall墙壁D.door门，均与语境不符。
15.联系上下文法。本文多次提到bull的信息。下一头牛会是什么样的呢？故选D。
16.从下一句This was the weakest bull that he had ever seen说明年轻抑制不住心中的喜悦，故选smile。
17.根据上一句“ This one was my bull,”推断出这是年轻人他暗自思忖着，故选B
18.动词辨析。他调整好他的位置然后在精准的时刻跳过来抓（牛尾巴）故选A.而B.escaped躲避C. stopped停止D. shouted大声喊，均不合题意
19.根据语境，此处意思是：使他惊讶的是，这头牛没有尾巴。
20.综合全文，最后一句是文章的升华，即得到的启示：人生充满着机遇，要总是抓住首先的机遇，不要错失良机。
考点：人生百味类完形填空。
点评：本文讲述了一个农夫要求年轻人抓住三头公牛中任意一条尾巴作为许配女儿给他的条件，年轻人却没有抓住机会，从而得出的启示是：人生充满着机遇，要总是抓住首先的机遇，不要错失良机。文章富有哲理。而且不少题目是运用联系上下文的方法，所以要注意瞻前顾后，逐句细读，根据上下文所提供的信息或社会及生活常识或逻辑推理判断答案
