【解析】

这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述在干旱了几乎一个月的情况下，作者发现自己的儿子来回于家和树林，用手捧着水拯救小鹿，然后作者也参与其中的故事。

【1】句意：几乎有一个月没有下雨了。

snow雪；rain雨；wind风。根据“The crops were dying. If it did not rain soon”可知指的是没有下雨，用名词rain。故选B。

【2】句意：如果不很快下雨的话，我们将失去一切。

everything每样东西；nothing没有任何东西；anything任何东西。根据前文的几乎一个月没有下雨以及“The crops were dying”可知此处表达“如果不很快下雨的话，我们将失去一切”，用不定代词everything。故选A。

【3】句意：我正在做午饭，看到我六岁的儿子比利慢慢地走向树林。

into里面；from从；toward朝向。根据“the woods”可知此处用walk toward表达“走向”。故选C。

【4】句意：试着尽可能的小心，他明显走得很吃力。

habit习惯；effort努力；surprise吃惊。根据“Trying to be as careful as possible”可知此处用with effort表达“努力”。故选B。

【5】句意：很快之后，他又一次走向那条不寻常的路。

unusual不寻常的；normal正常的；beautiful漂亮的。根据“walking very slowly toward the woods”以及“walking with great effort”可知作者看到的是儿子不断地在家和树林缓慢的走来回，用形容词unusual表达“不寻常的”。故选A。

【6】句意：他走路时用双手捧着水，小心不让水掉落。

drop掉落；drink喝；boil煮。根据“He cupped both hands in front of him as he walked”以及“careful”可知此处用动词drop表达“小心不让水掉落”。故选A。

【7】句意：但是小鹿没有伤害他，它们甚至没有移动。

ever曾；never从不；even甚至。句中“didn’t move”是“the deer didn't hurt him”意义上的递进，用副词even表达“甚至”。故选C。

【8】句意：比利打开水龙头，让水慢慢地装满他的“杯子”。

set up建立；fill up填满；put up搭起。根据“drinking the water in my boy's hands”以及“cup”可知此处指的是水慢慢地装满他用手做的杯子，用动词短语fill up。故选B。

【9】句意：我不是在浪费。

wasting浪费；playing玩耍；watering浇水。根据“I told him not to waste water”可知此处男孩子说的是他不是在浪费水，用动词wasting。故选A。

【10】句意：这一次，我加入他的行动，给了他一个小罐子。

shouted大叫；argued争论；joined参加。根据“handing him a small pot”可知作者也参与到拯救小鹿的行动中，用动词joined。故选C。
