文章大意：本文讲了作者的祖父教给他的一节课：如果一只羊迷路了你去找它，其他羊可能也会迷路了，甚至有可能被狼吃掉，爷爷通过这个告诉作者无论发生什么事，都要保持冷静。

【1】句意：我的爷爷是一个牧羊人。

chicken鸡；cotton棉花；sheep羊；rice大米。根据下文“Grandpa looked after the sheep”可知爷爷是一名牧羊人。故选C。

【2】句意：爷爷照看羊并保护它们免受狼和森林里其他野生动物侵害。

avoided避免；punished惩罚；borrowed借；protected保护。根据题干中“____ them from wolves and other wild animals in the forest”可推出此处用短语protect … from …表示“保护……免受……侵害”。故选D。

【3】句意：一天早上，当爷爷聚集羊群时，我们出发了。

we我们；you你，你们；she她；they他们。根据下文“As we were guarding the sheep”可知此处是说我们出发了。故选A。

【4】句意：Nick，想象你自己是个牧羊人。

doubt怀疑；imagine想象；encourage鼓励；suggest建议。结合题意“Nick，____你自己是个牧羊人”及Nick并不是牧羊人的事实可知答案。故选B。

【5】句意：作为一个牧羊人，我应该对每一只羊负责。

结合题干中“be ___ for”与选项中词语构成形容词短语。be helpful for对某人来说有帮助；be known for因……而出名；be thirsty for渴望……；be responsible for对……负责。根据下文“If one sheep is lost, I will do whatever it takes to bring it back.”可推出此处是说我应该对每一只羊负责。故选D。

【6】句意：你有一颗善心，但是我认为你不够聪明。

so因此；but但是；because因为；if如果。根据句意“你有一颗善心，____我认为你不够聪明”可知设空处前后表示转折，用but符合题意。故选B。

【7】句意：在那时，我不明白。

hear听见；discuss讨论；wait等待；understand明白。根据下文爷爷的解释及“The more I thought about Grandpa’s words, the more I ____ how true it was!”可推出在那个时候还不明白爷爷的意思。故选D。

【8】句意：如果你没有，你将不能做出正确的决定。

wishes希望；mistakes错误；decisions决定；suggestions建议。根据题干中“make right _____”及上文作者决定去找回迷失的羊，可推出此处用make right decisions表示“做出正确的决定”。故选C。

【9】句意：它们可能也会迷路。

lost迷路的；sick生病的；lucky幸运的；popular受欢迎的。根据上文“one of these sheep is lost”及空后“too”可推出此处用get lost表示“迷路”。故选A。

【10】句意：我越想爷爷的话，就越意识到它有多正确！

realized意识到；disagreed不同意；admired欣赏；forgot忘记。根据下文“From then on, I always remembered to keep my cool no matter what happened.”可推出此处是说意识到爷爷的话有多正确。故选A。
