试题分析：短文大意：该短文主要介绍了在抓猴子的时候，一个孩子在壶里放上豆子，猴子的手可以放进去，但是一旦抓了一把豆子就出不来了。猴子不知道放弃，所以就被人给抓住了。

【1】根据后文他设计的每种计谋都失败了可知猴子非常聪明，所以填写形容词clever，聪明的。

【2】根据句意把豆子放到里面，所以填写介词in/inside，在……里。

【3】根据句意我们几个小时后会抓住一只猴子，所以填写名词monkey，猴子。

【4】根据上下文可知一只猴子很容易把手放进壶里，所以填写副词easily，容易地。

【5】根据句意但是他不能拿着一把豆子把手从壶的窄颈中拉出，所以填写动词pull，拉。

【6】根据句意猴子很生气开始大喊，所以填写形容词angry，生气的，发怒的。

【7】根据句意所有的猴子都跑了除了那只手在壶里的那只猴子。所以填写介词except，除了。

【8】根据上下文，可知那个人非常吃惊，所以填写形容词surprised，惊奇的。

【9】根据句意为什么对于猴子把手放进去容易，拿出来那么困难，根据所给字母提示可知该填写形容词hard，困难的。

【10】willing be willing to do sth,乐意做某事，根据句意他恰恰不乐意放弃。所以填写willing。
