【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇寓言故事。主人在地里埋下了骨头和胡萝卜，想看看狗和兔子哪个先找到。狗一直在抱怨，而兔子却不停地挖，它乐观的认为当它每挖完一个洞的时候，剩下的洞就越来越少，也就离目标越来越接近。最后兔子在狗一直趴着的地方找到了骨头和胡萝卜。故事揭示的道理是：要想成功，少说话，多做事。

1.which考查疑问代词。从上文内容可知农民想看看狗和兔子哪个先找到埋在地里的东西，填which。

2.cheerful考查形容词。根据and后面的optimistic可以判断此处也应该用形容词，修饰名词rabbit，填cheerful。

3.digging考查非谓语动词。从结构可知此处是非谓语动词做方式状语，dig和句子主语rabbit之间是主动关系，用现在分词，填digging。

4.lay考查动词。分析结构可知此处是做谓语，说明狗的动作，根据文章时态判断用动词过去式，填lay。

5.for考查介词。从语境可知此处表示兔子挖了几个小时，时间段前用介词for表示一段时间，填for。

6.But考查连词。根据前面内容可知狗在抱怨，兔子却认为每挖一个洞剩下要找的洞就少一个，由此可知此处表示一种态度的不同，一种转折，所以填But。

7.left考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知此处是修饰名词place，用过去分词，意思是“当整块地里没有剩下要挖的地方时…..”，填left。

8.where考查副词。此处是介词后面的宾语从句，从句是主谓结构，所以填连接副词，根据语境可知填where。句意：这只兔子挖了一条隧道直通狗一直躺着的地方。

9.the考查冠词。名词place是可数名词，而且后面有定语限制，特指埋东西的地方，填定冠词the。

10.because /since/as考查连词。从内容可知前后句子是因果关系，所以填连词because，since或者as。

考点：考查语法填空
