答案与简析：
1．C。四个选项都可修饰family，但是从His father had a small boat．．．和When winter came，they were often hungry．中就不难判断C为正确答案。
2．B。四个选项都可作bought的宾语，但从Dick was born in a poor family和When winter came，they were often hungry．所提供的信息进行综合分析，可判断正确答案为B。
3．A。fall into的意思为“掉进、跌入”；fall off的意思为“掉落、落下”；drop in的意思为“投入、顺便来访”；go down的意思为“下去、落下”。根据下文wasn't found again作出的暗示，可确定A为正确答案。
4．D。根据One morning the hungry man fell into the river and wasn't found again．和Dick's mother left her three-year-old son without saying good-bye．所提供的信息可判断D为正确答案。
5．C。根据句意可先排除A和D。grow作不及物动词时意思是“生长、成长”，其后不能接宾语；作及物动词时意思是“种植”；用连系动词时意思是“变得”，后常接形容词。become作连系动词时意思是“变为、成为”，后可接名词或形容词作表语。故选C。
6．D。for表示“为”，目的状语；by的意思是“通过”，方式状语； from的意思是“从”，地点状语；with表示“随身携带”，可和后面的名词构成介词短语作伴随状态，故D为正确答案。
7．A。was dead是系表结构，表示状态；was dying意思是“要死，但还没死”；was hurt表示“受伤”；died强调动作，再根据下文After he buried her所提供的信息，正确答案为A。
8．C。从下文Dick询问店主Do you sell an old tombstone，please？和Is it as expensive as the new one？所提供的信息可判断C为正确答案。
9．B。others是不定代词other的复数，其所有格后的name应为名词复数形式；表示两者中的“另一个”用the other；any other为“另外、任何的”；another表示不定数目中的“另一个”。此处泛指另外一个人的名字，故正确答案为B。
10．C。四个选项从语法上讲都正确，但根据常识及行文逻辑只有填入read才和上文but another name was on it才相对应。
