【解析】本文讲述了一个叫Black的先生，不同于常人的观点，大家都认为年轻人比老年人强壮，但是他不这么认为，他觉得自己跟年轻的时候一样强壮。在他年轻的时候，他家门口有块大石头，他搬不动，现在老了，还是搬不动。所以他认为自己跟年轻的时候一样强壮。
⑴time 是不可数名词，所以用lots of。故选C。
⑵根据句意“他们在那里喝酒并且谈论他们喜欢做的任何事。”talked about sth.意为“谈论某事”，故选D。
⑶than是比较级的标志词，说明该句要使用比较级，所以选B。
⑷由后面 “stronger than old men” 可知用men。故选C
⑸none 与all 用于三者或三者以上的复数；none为否定, all为肯定。Both与neither均用于两者, both为肯定, neither为否定。由句意“他们没有人同意这是真的”可知选A。
⑹由下句可知他并不同意上边人们的观点，因此是一种转折关系，所以选D。
⑺be surprised at sb./sth.意为“对…感到惊讶”，故选A。。
⑻used to do 意为“过去常常做某事”；be used to doing意为“习惯于做某事”。根据上文“When l was a young man,” 可知是过去常常。故选C。
⑼固定句式be +adj. + enough to do sth.意为“足够怎么样去做……”；此句意为“我搬不动它，是因为我不足够强壮”，故选A。
⑽此句意为“当我试图搬动它时，我仍然搬不动(它)。”can’t表示“不能”，故选B。
