【解析】

本文讲一则小寓言故事，一天一只乌龟在森林里走，它很累但是又不得不往前走；它看见一只鹰悠闲地站在树上，它也像鹰一样休息，但是被人类抓到了车上。告诉我们。想要休息，必须要保证自己足够安全。

【1】句意：在它的路上，它看见一只鹰在树上。

空格处为固定搭配“在某人（去某地）的路上on one’s way (to)”，故填On。

【2】句意：这只鹰在树上坐着，无所事事。

由下文“can I sit like you and do nothing”像你一样什么也不做，可知，鹰什么也没做，故填nothing。

【3】句意：这只乌龟问这只鹰，“鹰先生，我能像你一样坐着什么也不干吗？”

由“can I sit…”我能……吗？可知，这是一个问题，所以空格处是问它，故填asked。

【4】句意：很快，它睡熟了，因为它太累了。

由上文“The tortoise was tired, but he had to keep walking”它已经很累了，但是还得走。故填tired。

【5】句意：一位男士开着车去森林。

由下文“While he was driving around,”可知，他是开着车去的，开车drive，由was driving可知是过去式，故填drove。

【6】句意：当他开车闲逛的时候，他突然发现这只乌龟在树下睡觉。

由上文“he fell into a deep sleep”可知，乌龟在睡觉。由see sb doing sth表示看到某人正在做某事，故填sleeping。

【7】句意：他是如此兴奋以至于走下车。

由固定搭配“如此……以至于……so…that…”，故填that。

【8】句意：当乌龟醒来时，他发现他自己在车里。

发现某人自己，用oneself，反身代词与主语保持一致，故填himself。
