这篇短文主要讲述了一名强壮的牛仔骑马游玩时，发现一个酒吧，就把马栓在外面去喝酒，这是他发现一些人在朝他做鬼脸，当他出去的时候，他发现他的马不见了，他很冷静，返回酒吧说“我不知道你们对我的马做了什么，如果一会我的马还是回不来，我不想做我在Texas做过的事情”，他们有点害怕，一会儿他的马放回来了。

【1】句意：一天，一个强壮的牛仔骑着他的马旅行时，他看到了一个酒吧。他决定停下来喝几杯。

根据上文“One day a strong cowboy was traveling on his horse when he saw a bar.”可知，下文是他决定停下来去喝酒。decide to do sth.决定去做某事；stop动词，停下来。根据句意，故答案为stop。

【2】句意：于是他把马拴在酒吧外面，走进酒吧，点了两瓶啤酒。

根据上文“so he tied his horse outside the bar, walked into the bar”可知此处是“去酒吧点了啤酒”。beer名词，啤酒。根据句意，故答案为beer

【3】句意：他猜想他们可能会捉弄他，但他什么也没说，继续喝酒。

根据上文“He looked around and noticed some people making faces to him.”可知，下文是“他猜他们可能在戏弄他”。短语play some tricks sb.表示“捉弄某人，开某人的玩笑”。此空填介词on。根据题意，故答案为on。

【4】句意：喝酒后，他走出酒吧，发现他的马丢了。

“walked out of the bar”走出酒吧，“ found his horse lost”发现马丢失，这里是并列关系，用and连接。根据题意，故答案为and。

【5】句意：然而，他保持冷静，回到酒吧，慢慢地说：“我不知道你们这些傻瓜在外面对我的马做了什么……但我五分钟后就要走了。”

根据上文“However, he kept calm, came back into the bar”可知，他保持冷静，可知下文是“他慢慢地说”，此处是副词修饰动词。所给单词slow形容词，慢的，这里用副词slowly，慢地。根据句意，故答案为slowly。

【6】句意：听到这些话后，其他顾客似乎有点害怕。

根据上文“The cowboy added, "And I don't want to do what I did in Texas!"”可知下文是“听到这些话后，其他顾客似乎有点害怕”。frighten动词，使惊吓，使惊恐。seem连系动词，后加形容词，此处用frighten的形容词frightened，意思是“害怕的”，根据句意，故答案为frightened。

【7】句意：牛仔回到座位上，又点了两瓶啤酒。

根据上文“The cowboy went back to his seat”可知下文是“又点了两杯啤酒”。another+数词+名词，表示再几……；根据题意，故答案为another。

【8】句意：五分钟后，他走了出来，发现他的马被绑在它应该在的地方。

after+一段时间，表示“在多长时间之后”，minute名词，分钟；five+名词复数。after five minutes表示“在5分钟之后”。根据题意，故答案为minutes。

【9】句意：五分钟后，他走了出来，发现他的马被绑在它应该在的地方。

根据“_it was supposed to be.”可知，此处是where引导的宾语从句，“发现他的马被绑在它应该在的地方”。根据题意，故答案为where。

【10】句意：牛仔转身对老板低声说：“我得步行回家！”

根据下文“and replied in a low voice, " I had to walk home!"”可知，此处是“牛仔转身对老板低声说”，turn to sb.表示某人转身。整篇文章是过去式，用一般过去式，turn的过去式是turned。根据题意，故答案为turned。

首先要阅读题干，整体把握文章大意，然后根据句意及上下文推测需要填写的单词，最后还要注意单词形式的变化。例如：小题8，考查名词复数形式。此处是“五分钟后，他走了出来”；five+名词复数。minute名词，分钟；复数形式“minutes”结合句意，故答案为minutes。
