【解析】

本文是一篇故事类阅读，主要讲述了爷爷通过用煤筐装水的事例，告诉孙子“只要读书，不管是否真正的理解，你由内而外均会发生改变”的道理。

【1】句意：从前，一位老人和他的孙子住在一个农场里。

son儿子；daughter女儿；grandson孙子；granddaughter孙女。根据下文“One day, the grandson asked”可知，这个老人是和孙子住在一起的。故选C。

【2】句意：每天，老人都早起读书。

read读；write写；sing唱；listen to听。根据“That’s what happens when you read books”及语境可知，老人每天都早起读书。故选A。

【3】句意：爷爷！我理解不了这些书。

break打破；understand理解；forget忘记；change改变。根据“That’s what happens when you read books. You might not understand or remember everything”可知，此处为男孩理解不了这些书。故选B。

【4】句意：拿着这个煤筐去河边取些水回来。

sand沙子；food食物；flower花；water水。根据“but all the water leaked out”可知，此处是爷爷让他去河边取些水回来。故选D。

【5】句意：你下次必须走快点儿。

faster较快的；slower较慢的；farther较远的；nearer较近的。根据“This time the boy ran more quickly”可知，此处是爷爷让小男孩下次走快点儿。故选A。

【6】句意：这一次男孩跑得更快了，但是在他回家之前又没有水了。

before在……之前；since自从；unless除非；until直到。根据“The boy tried it again but there was no water left again”以及语境可知，在小男孩回家之前筐里的水就漏没了。故选A。

【7】句意：但他想让祖父知道，即使他跑得再快，水也会漏出来。

because of由于；as soon as只要；ever since自从；even if即使。根据“the water would leak out”可知，此处应为even if引导让步状语从句，意为“即使跑得再快，水也会漏出来”。故选D。

【8】句意：篮子和之前不一样了。

common普通的；different不同的；similar一样的；important重要的。根据“when you read it,___ will be changed, inside and out”及语境可知，用篮子装水和读书一样，只要装水了就会发生改变，改变意味着不同。故选B。

【9】句意：篮子里里外外都很干净。

dirty脏的；full满的；old旧的；clean干净的。根据“It was different”可知，篮子之前用来装煤是脏的，但现在与之前不同了就是干净的。故选D。

【10】句意：但当你读书时，你就会被从内而外的改变。

we我们；it它；you你；they他们。根据“when you read it”可知，此处主语应为you。故选C。
