这篇短文主要讲述了三国时期，刘备希望请诸葛亮帮助自己成就大业，他亲自拜访诸葛亮三次，最终请得诸葛亮。
【1】句意：魏国富强，吴国有勇武的将领和英明的大臣，而蜀国又小又弱。
根据上文“Wei was powerful and rich, Wu had brave generals and wise ministers”可知下文“Shu was small and weak”是转折关系。while连词，而然。根据题意，故答案为while。
【2】句意：他要诸葛亮帮助他巩固国家。
根据“He wanted Zhuge Liang to help him strengthen”可知，此处是“他要诸葛亮帮助他巩固国家”。state名词，国家。根据题意，故答案为state。
【3】句意：于是刘备带着手下关羽和张飞，远赴陇中探望诸葛亮。
根据下文“to visit Zhuge Liang”可知此处是“远赴陇中探望诸葛亮” travel动词，旅行，此处用过去式travel (1) ed。根据题意，故答案为travel (1) ed。
【4】句意：他们除了返回家没有别的选择。
根据上文“They brought a valuable gift for him but Zhuge Liang was not at his cottage（小屋）.”可知，此处是“没有别的选择”。根据题意，故答案为choice。
【5】句意：后来，下雪天，三个人又来了。但是他们又一次没有见到诸葛亮。
根据上文“Later, on a snowy day, the three men came again.”及下文but转折，可知此处是“但是他们又一次没有见到诸葛亮”。短语fail to do sth.表示失败做某事。根据题意，故答案为failed。
【6】句意：刘备拿出几张纸和一支毛笔，留下一张字条，表达了对诸葛亮高超才华的钦佩之情。
根据上文“Liu Bei took out some paper and a brush”可知，此处是“留下一张字条”。note名词，短笺；便条。故答案为note
【7】句意：关羽和张飞对他的想法并不满意。

根据“So together with his best men Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei t___3___the great distance to Longzhong to visit Zhuge Liang.”及“ Later, on a snowy day, the three men came again.”可知此处是“刘备坚持要第三次出访诸葛亮”，a+序数词+名词，表示再几次。a third trip再一次，此处是前面已经去过两次，此处用third，根据题意，故答案为third。
【9】句意：幸好这次诸葛亮在家。但他还在睡觉。
根据上文“Luckily, Zhuge Liang was home this time.”及下文but转折，可知此处是“但他还在睡觉”，根据语境是过去进行时，其结构是“was/were doing”的形式。sleep动词，睡觉，此处用现在分词sleeping。根据题意，故答案为sleeping。
【10】句意：刘备对部下说了这话，耐心地等着。
根据下文“When Zhuge Liang woke up and saw them, he was moved by Liu Bei's sincerity. He finally agreed to work for Liu Bei.”可知上文是“刘备对部下说了这话，耐心地等着”，这里是副词修饰动词，patiently副词，耐心地。根据题意，故答案为patiently。
