【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一位国王在河畔建立宫殿，一位老妇人的木屋在宫殿附近，大臣觉得宫殿旁边一间小木屋与宫殿不协调，于是试图说服住在里面的老妇人把小木屋卖给国王，却遭到老妇人的拒绝，善良的国王允许老妇人留下这个小屋。故事告诉我们：我们认为丑陋的东西对别人而言可能十分珍贵。

【1】句意：在他的王国里，没有人不快乐。

unhappy不快乐的；excited兴奋的；pleased高兴地；friendly友好的。根据前句“Once upon a time, there was a king who was known for his justice(公平) and kindness.”，可推测在他的王国里，没有人不快乐。故选A。

【2】句意：他的人民爱他，并且以他为荣。

loved喜欢；hated讨厌；pleased使……高兴；paid支付。因为前文谈到了国王的公平和善良，可推测他的人民都爱他。故选A。

【3】句意：一天，国王决定在河畔建立一座宫殿。

根据本句的中的decide的用法“decide to do sth”，可知只有选项B符合题意，故选B。

【4】句意：几个月之后，宫殿建好了。

few几个，修饰可数名词，一般表示否定的意思；a few几个，修饰可数名词，表示肯定的意思；little一点，修饰不可数名词，一般表示否定的意思；a little修饰不可数名词，一般表示肯定的意思。这里句子说的是，几个月之后，宫殿建好了。根据空格后的months，是可数名词，可知要用few或者a few，根据句意可以，句子没有否定的意味。故选B。

【5】句意：但是大臣在离宫门不远的地方发现了一间小屋。

made制作；found发现；placed放置；took带走。文章第三段谈到了小屋是一位老妇人的。可知，大臣是发现（found）了一间小屋。故选B。

【6】句意：它是谁的？

which哪一个；when什么时候；why为什么；whom谁。根据第三段的回答对本问句的回答，可知本句是问小屋是谁的。故选D。

【7】句意：她已经在这里住了很长时间了。

for用在现在完成时中时，后接表示时间段的词；since自从；as当……时候；until直到……时。根据这个句子结构，可知此句子属于现在完成时态，后面的a long time属于时间段，故用介词for，故选A。

【8】句意：大臣走到小屋前和老太太说话。

young man年轻人；king国王；old lady老太太；worker工人。根据空格后的句子，可知大臣是和小屋的主人老太太说话。故选C。

【9】句意：对不起，先生。我不能接受你的提议。

receive收到；give给；accept接受；refuse拒绝。根据后句“‘I lived in it with my late husband and I want to die in it,’ the old lady said.”可知老太太不接受（accept）大臣的提议。故选C。

【10】句意：但是老太太拒绝卖掉她的小屋。

buy买；sell卖；build建立；repair修理。根据“I want to buy your hut. I will pay any amount…”可知大臣想买小屋，老太太拒绝卖掉自己的小屋。故选B。

借助文中某个词的固定结构和所给选项，有时能加快我们的做题速度，提高解题的准确性。比如本题中的第3小题，此题的答案的获取就是通过decide的用法“decide to do sth”来解决的。看到decide之后，再结合选项，只有选项B符合这种用法的结构，从而选出正确答案。
