【解析】本文主要讲了猫和老鼠是天敌的原因。因为在十二生肖的选拔比赛中，老鼠欺骗了猫，把它推下水使得它没能进入十二生肖。

【1】to hold 考查动词短语。decide to do sth决定做某事。故填to hold.

【2】which 考查关系代词。这里which引导的是定语从句，在句中作状语。故填which。

【3】appearance 考查名词。形容词性物主代词后需接名词，appear为动词，需改为名词appearance。

【4】the 考查冠词。这里是特指到达河对岸这个任务。故填the。

【5】how 考查疑问词。这里的意思是：猫担心怎样才能过去，因为他怕水。故填how。

【6】with 考查介词。这里with表示伴随，由于视力不好，牛担心自己是否能游过河，所以用with。

【7】ran 考查时态。本文时态为一般过去时，所以这里动词需用过去式。故填ran。

【8】so 考查连词。这里的意思是：老鼠跳到了岸上，首先完成了比赛，所以他在生肖中排第一。这里表示的是结果，故填so。

【9】named 考查过去分词。name after. . . 表示“以……名字给某人/某物命名”，此处应用过去分词形式作定语。

【10】was awarded 考查被动语态。He与award之间是被动关系，指的是猪被授予生肖中的最后一名，故填was awarded。
