【解析】

本文讲述了两兄弟都为对方考虑，把自己家的大米偷偷地运到对方的储藏室，在发现了彼此所做的事情后，两人都感动得哭了。

【1】句意：一个结婚了，并有一个大家庭。

group组；family家庭；class班级；team团队。根据前文One was married，可知，一个人结婚了，并有一个大家庭。故选B。

【2】句意：我们分享所有的大米这是不公平的。

fair公平；popular受欢迎的；interesting有趣的；wrong错误的。根据I’m...and I need less than my brother，可知，单身的那个认为自己需要的比哥哥少，所以分享所有的大米是不公平的。故选A。

【3】句意：我是独居，我需要的比我兄弟更少。

poor穷的；happy高兴的；alone独自的；rich富有的。 根据the single brother said to himself，可知，单身的兄弟独自居住，需要的比另一个兄弟少。故选C。

【4】句意：所以，每天晚上他从储藏室里拿出一袋大米，穿过他们房子之间的田野，把它放进哥哥的储藏室。

jumped跳；played玩；walked步行；rode骑。根据every night he took a bag of rice from his store-room及across the field between their houses，可知，每天晚上他从储藏室里拿出一袋大米，并穿过他们房子之间的田野，所以空格处填walked。故选C。

【5】句意：所以，每天晚上他从储藏室里拿出一袋大米，穿过他们房子之间的田野，把它放进哥哥的储藏室。

from从；through穿过；off离开；between在……之间。根据every night he took a bag of rice from his store-room and walked across，可知，是穿过他们两个房子之间的田野，所以空格处填between。故选D。

【6】句意：当我老了，我有妻子和孩子可以照顾我。

look after照顾；look for寻找；look out小心；look at看。根据the married brother thought 及When I am old，可知，结婚的这个兄弟就想着当他老了，还有孩子和妻子会照顾他，所以空格处填look after。故选A。

【7】句意：当我老了，我有妻子和孩子可以照顾我。

worried担忧；old老了；healthy健康；dead死的，根据However, my brother has no one to take care of his..，可知，结婚的这个兄弟把自己的情况和单身的那个兄弟进行对比，单身的那个兄弟没有人关心他的未来，而结婚的这个兄弟老了还有妻子和孩子来照顾他，所以空格处填old。故选B。

【8】句意：然而，我的兄弟没有人关心他的未来。

hope希望；children孩子们；farm农场；future未来。根据I have my wife and children to look after me when I am old及However，可知，此句是跟前文进行对比，结婚的兄弟老了有人照顾，然而单身的这个兄弟没有人关心他的未来，所以空格处填future。故选D。

【9】句意：他们的大米从未变少，这让他们觉得很奇怪。

them他们；this这个；it它；that那个。固定句式：find+it+形容词+that从句，it作形式宾语，所以空格处填it。故选C。

【10】句意：他们的袋子掉在地上，泪水立刻充满了他们的眼睛。

gave给；filled充满；dropped掉下；rose升起。根据Then, one dark night the two brothers ran into each other. Slowly they began to understand what was happening，可知，一天晚上当他们扛着大米进入彼此的储藏室时，终于明白为什么他们的大米从未变少，所以感动的泪水充满了眼睛，故空格处填filled。故选B。
