名師點評
本文講述了一個國王為了考驗兩個人，讓他們往籃子里打水，忠誠的人不遺余力地往空籃子里打水，直到國王歸來。結果不僅獲得了一枚金戒指，而且得到了國王的信任。
參考答案：
1.C。這里did和finished都表示完成了這項工作，而給籃子裝滿水是不可能的，國王應在兩人開始打水后不久離開，所以應選began。
2.B。往籃子里盛滿水是永遠不可能的，故選擇never。
3.A。兩者中的另一個用the other加名詞來表示。
4.C。the first man想離開，因為他覺得自己干的是無用功，故選擇nothing意為從事某項工作。
5.D。pick up意為撿起，pick away意為放好，take away意為取走，而throw down意為扔掉、丟棄，比較貼近文意，為正確選項。
6.A。根據文意，另一個人一直在打水，故選water。
7.B。不停地打水必然會導致井空，故選empty。
8.B。while引導從句時，從句應用延續性動詞，before和since不符合文意，as soon as表示一就為正確選項。
9.A。國王是因為這個誠實的人所做過的事情而表揚他，所以應用完成時態have done。
10.D。國王講的最后一句話是含有 sothat結構的復合句，意為如此以致故選that。
