【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇寓言故事。主人在地里埋下了骨頭和胡蘿卜，想看看狗和兔子哪個先找到。狗一直在抱怨，而兔子卻不停地挖，它樂觀的認為當它每挖完一個洞的時候，剩下的洞就越來越少，也就離目標越來越接近。最后兔子在狗一直趴著的地方找到了骨頭和胡蘿卜。故事揭示的道理是：要想成功，少說話，多做事。

1.which考查疑問代詞。從上文內容可知農民想看看狗和兔子哪個先找到埋在地里的東西，填which。

2.cheerful考查形容詞。根據(jù)and后面的optimistic可以判斷此處也應該用形容詞，修飾名詞rabbit，填cheerful。

3.digging考查非謂語動詞。從結構可知此處是非謂語動詞做方式狀語，dig和句子主語rabbit之間是主動關系，用現(xiàn)在分詞，填digging。

4.lay考查動詞。分析結構可知此處是做謂語，說明狗的動作，根據(jù)文章時態(tài)判斷用動詞過去式，填lay。

5.for考查介詞。從語境可知此處表示兔子挖了幾個小時，時間段前用介詞for表示一段時間，填for。

6.But考查連詞。根據(jù)前面內容可知狗在抱怨，兔子卻認為每挖一個洞剩下要找的洞就少一個，由此可知此處表示一種態(tài)度的不同，一種轉折，所以填But。

7.left考查非謂語動詞。分析句子成分可知此處是修飾名詞place，用過去分詞，意思是“當整塊地里沒有剩下要挖的地方時…..”，填left。

8.where考查副詞。此處是介詞后面的賓語從句，從句是主謂結構，所以填連接副詞，根據(jù)語境可知填where。句意：這只兔子挖了一條隧道直通狗一直躺著的地方。

9.the考查冠詞。名詞place是可數(shù)名詞，而且后面有定語限制，特指埋東西的地方，填定冠詞the。

10.because /since/as考查連詞。從內容可知前后句子是因果關系，所以填連詞because，since或者as。

考點：考查語法填空
