【解析】

试题分析：一个陶工在一次远出运陶土的时候忘了给他的驴套上绳索了，怕它睡觉的时候驴跑了，一个圣人给他一条很好的建议，就是把驴用一根想象的绳子拴在驴经常被栓的地方，果然有效。

【1】from 考查短语搭配。从后面的to his house可知，这里应该用from，from…to…表示从…到…。

【2】to take考查固定短语使用。这里用forget to do表示忘记做某事，他忘了用一根绳子来拴住他的驴了。

【3】nor考查短语搭配。因为前面用了neither，neither…nor…表示既不…也不…这样的方式驴和陶工都不能休息。

【4】who考查定语从句关系词。这句是个非限制性定语从句，对于前面A saint进行补充说明，所以用who，作从句的主语。

【5】what考查名词性从句关系词。这句是个宾语从句，缺少了表语，故用what。

【6】an考查冠词。根据语境， 这里圣人要求他用一根想象中的绳子把驴拴住经常栓它的地方。

【7】woke考查时态。这篇文章通篇都是用的一般过去时，所以这里用woke，当他醒来的时候。

【8】standing考查非谓语作宾语补足语。他发现驴正站在一样的地方，驴和stand是主动关系，故用现在分词standing。

【9】Luckily考查副词。根据语境，该走的时候驴却一动不动，所幸的是，陶工看见了那个圣人。

【10】pleasure考查名词。With pleasure固定短语，愉快地。
