【解析】

文章大意：本文讲农夫丢了栓驴子的绳子后为看着驴子无法入睡，一位老人建议他假装项平常栓驴，结果在没有绳子的情况下，驴子也没有逃走。拴住驴的不是绳子，而是它自己。

【1】句意：这地方很远，而工作很辛苦，因此在他们的回程中，农夫总是停下来休息。

traditional传统的；enjoyable令人愉快的；hard辛苦的；enough足够的。根据下文“the farmer always stopped to rest”可知农夫总中途休息，推出工作很辛苦。故选C。

【2】句意：农夫晚上去睡觉前，把他的驴子拴在一棵树上。

die死亡；work工作；travel旅行；sleep睡觉。根据空后“at night”可推出是说睡觉之前发生的事。故选D。

【3】句意：然而，有一天不能找到绳子了。

stand忍受；get得到；find找到；choose选择。根据下文“If I don’t tie my donkey up, it’ll run away.”可知农夫没法把驴子拴到树上了，应该是找不到绳子了。故选C。

【4】句意：他最终挨着驴子睡了通过抓着驴耳朵来防止它逃跑。

nearly几乎；finally最终；hardly几乎不；clearly清楚地。根据上一段内容可知农夫没有找到绳子又害怕驴子逃跑，推出此次是说最终挨着驴子睡觉。故选B。

【5】句意：驴子不舒服，而农夫夜里也休息不好。

important重要的；outgoing外向的；serious严肃的；comfortable舒服的。根据上文“kept it from running away by catching its ears”可知农夫抓着驴子的耳朵睡觉，可推出驴子是不舒服的。故选D。

【6】句意：他问发生了什么。

who谁；why为什么；what什么；which哪一个。根据题干中“____ was going on”可推出是问发生了什么，用what符合题意。故选C。

【7】句意：带你的驴子去通常的地方，假装把它拴在那里。

farm农场；place地方；bedroom卧室；town城镇。根据上文中“he tied his donkey to a tree”可知平时都把驴子拴在树上，A、C、D三项均不符合题意，此处用the usual place表示通常的地方。故选B。

【8】句意：农夫照这人说的做。

as正如；when当……时；if如果；because因为。根据下文“Although there was no rope, the donkey didn’t ____”可知农夫照着老人的方法做了，应该用as。故选A。

【9】句意：尽管没有绳子，但是驴子没有离开。

leave离开；eat吃；laugh笑；work工作。根据上文“It will not run away.”可知此处是说驴子没有逃跑，用leave符合题意。故选A。

【10】句意：就在那时农夫明白了老人的话。

articles文章；words言语；discussions讨论；jokes笑话。根据上文中“… the old man said …”可知此处是说明白了老人的话，用words符合题意。故选B。
