1.D [解析]句意:所有的村民都不高兴,因为他们认为邻居的生活比自己好,所以嫉妒的村民日夜冲进老人的房子,没完没了地抱怨他们的财富。boring令人厌烦的;noisy嘈杂的;nervous紧张的;envious嫉妒的。根据上文All the villagers were unhappy because they thought their neighbours had better lives可知,村民们因为认为他们的邻居过得更好而不开心,因此他们会产生嫉妒的心理。故选D。
2.A [解析]句意见上题解析。complaint抱怨;quarrel争吵;discussion讨论;suggestion建议。根据下文whenever a villager approached the old man to complain可知,后来还是有村民向老人抱怨,此处应呼应下文,表示村民没完没了地向老人抱怨他们的财富。故选A。

4.D [解析]句意:人群变得焦躁不安起来。excited兴奋的;awkward尴尬的;silent沉默的;restless不安的。根据下文“After considerable 5 and complaining”可知,在听到老人的话之后,村民们抱怨了一番,因此应该是变得焦躁不安。故选D。
5.C [解析]句意:经过一番怀疑和抱怨,村民们照老人说的做了。approve批准;attempt尝试;doubt怀疑;review回顾。根据下文and complaining可知,村民们在抱怨。空处和complaining是并列关系,doubting符合语境,表示他们的怀疑和抱怨。故选C。
6.A [解析]句意:想象一下,你的一切——你的智慧和愚蠢,你的幸运和不幸,你的才能和短处——都在你的泡菜中。foolishness愚蠢;intelligence智力;courage勇气;inspiration灵感。根据下文your blessings and your misfortune可知,老人让村民们想象的都是相互对立的事物,例如幸运和不幸,因此应用wisdom(智慧)的反义表达foolishness(愚蠢)。故选A。
7.B [解析]句意见上题解析。shortcoming缺点;talent才能;confidence信心;wealth财富。根据上文your blessings and your misfortune可知,老人让村民们想象的都是相互对立的事物,例如幸运和不幸,因此应用weaknesses(短处)的反义表达(talents)。故选B。
8.A [解析]句意:选择别人的。pick选择;admire钦佩;post发布;value珍视。根据下文“Go ahead and choose.”可知,老人让村民们去选,因此应该是选择别人的。故选A。

10.B [解析]句意见上题解析。profit利润;task任务;method方法;fear恐惧。根据上文“Go ahead and choose.”可知,老人要求村民们如果对自己的泡菜不满意就去选别人的,因此应该是有了一个任务,决定要谁的泡菜。故选B。
