【10】last

【解析】本文講述了砍柴人的故事，暗示了一個道理：“磨刀不誤砍柴功”。

【1】 really

考查副詞。 薪水確實很好，工作條件也好。副詞修飾形容詞，故要用really來修飾表語good。

【2】his

考查形容詞性物主代詞。由于這個原因，樵夫決心要盡自己的最大努力。他的，his。

【3】where

考查定語從句的關系副詞。他的老板給了他一把斧頭，帶他到他應該去工作的地方。先行詞是the area, the area 在定語從句中作地點狀語，故要用where引導。

【4】brought

考查謂動動詞。伐木工人帶來18棵樹。指過去的動作，故要用一般過去時，即brought。

【5】motivated

考查非謂語作狀語。老板的話激勵了他，第二天更努力了。motivate（使有動機，激發(fā)，刺激; 激發(fā)…的積極性），與the woodcutter是被動關系。激發(fā)了伐木工人的積極性，故要用過去分詞作狀語。

【6】but

考查轉(zhuǎn)折連詞。但是第二天他只帶來15棵樹。從句意可知前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關系，故用but 來連接。

【7】fewer

考查比較級。 第三天他更努力了。但是只砍了10棵樹。一天又一天，他砍的樹越來越少了。從句意可知是比較級，而且從句式也可看出。故用fewer。

【8】strength

考查名詞�！拔业牧�氣一定在減少”伐木工人想，名詞strenght。

【9】saying

考查非謂語做伴隨狀語。伐木工人到老板那兒道歉，并說…。道歉（Apologize）的同時說（say），say在此作道歉的伴隨狀語。
