"Out to the pig house," replied Mrs Arable. "Some pigs were born last night."
"I don't see why an axe 2. (need)," continued Fern. "Well," said her mother, "one of the pigs is too small and weak 3. (live). So your father has decided to do away with it."
"You mean kill it?" Fern shouted. "Just because it's 4. ( small ) than the others?"
Fern ran outdoors 5. (quick). She caught up with her father. "Please don't kill it!" she cried. "It's unfair!"
Mr Arable stopped 6. ( walk ). "Fern," he said gently, "you will have to learn to control yourself."
"Control 7. ( I )?" yelled Fern. "This is a matter of life and death." She took hold of the axe. "Fern," said Mr Arable, "I know more about raising pigs. A weakling usually makes trouble."
"But the pig couldn't help being born small, could it?" cried Fern. "If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?"
Mr Arable smiled. "But this is different ..."
"I see no 8. (different)," replied Fern. "This is the worst case I 9. (hear) of since I was born!"
"All right," he said. "I will let you feed it with a bottle, as 10. ( baby ) are fed. Then you will see what trouble a pig can be."
When Mr Arable returned to the house, he carried a box under his arm. Fern opened the box. There, inside, looking up at her, was the newborn pig.

Ⅵ.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个小女孩 Fern 和她的家人在农场中的一次争论。
1. were setting 解析:根据"while"和"said Fern to her mother"可知,此处表示过去正在进行的动作,主句为一般过去时,while 引导的时间状语从句用过去进行时,主语为 they,故填 were setting。
2. is needed 解析:根据"an axe"和"need"的关系可知,斧子是被需要,应用被动语态,此处为直接引语,用一般现在时的被动语态,故填 is needed。
3. to live 解析:根据"too small and weak"可知,此处为固定结构"too ... to ...",表示"太……而不能……",故填 to live。

5. quickly 解析:根据"ran outdoors"可知,此处修饰动词,应用副词形式,故填 quickly。
6. walking 解析:根据"stopped"和语境可知,此处表示"停止走路",stop doing sth 表示"停止正在做的事",故填 walking。

8. difference 解析:根据"no"可知,此处应用名词形式,故填 difference。

【分析】
拿到这类综合填空题，首先先通读全文理清故事脉络和整体时态基调，再逐空推导：首先观察空格给出的提示词，先判断空格在句中充当的成分，结合对应的语法规则确定变形方向：遇到while、than、since这类时间标志词，立刻对应到对应的时态/比较级规则；判断主语和动词的逻辑关系确定主动/被动；遇到too...to...、stop的相关搭配直接套用固定结构；同时注意主谓一致细节，比如句中be动词为are时，前面的名词要变为复数，一步步推导就能得到正确答案。
【解析】
1. 句意：Fern一边和妈妈摆早餐桌一边询问爸爸拿着斧子去哪里。while引导的时间状语从句强调过去某个时刻正在进行的动作，主句为一般过去时，从句要用过去进行时，结构为was/were+现在分词，主语是they，be动词用were，set的现在分词为setting，故填were setting。
2. 句意：我不明白为什么需要这把斧子。主语an axe和动词need是被动关系，该句属于直接引语，用一般现在时的被动语态，结构为am/is/are+过去分词，主语是单数，be动词用is，need的过去分词为needed，故填is needed。
3. 句意：其中一只小猪太小太弱，活不下去。此处是固定结构too+形容词+to do sth，表示“太……而不能……”，故填to live。
4. 句意：仅仅是因为它比其他小猪更小吗？空格后有than表示比较，要用形容词small的比较级形式，故填smaller。
5. 句意：Fern飞快地跑到户外。空格修饰动词ran，需要用副词形式，形容词quick的副词变形为quickly，故填quickly。
6. 句意：Arable先生停下了脚步。此处是固定搭配stop doing sth，表示“停止正在做的事”，指爸爸停下走路的动作，所以填walk的动名词形式walking。
7. 句意：控制我自己？该句主语是I，空格在动词control后指代主语自身，需要用反身代词，I的反身代词为myself，故填myself。
8. 句意：我看不出有什么不同。空格前是形容词no，后面需要接名词，形容词different的名词形式为difference，故填difference。
9. 句意：这是我出生以来听过最糟糕的情况。句中有since I was born作为时间标志，主句要用现在完成时，结构为have/has+过去分词，主语是I，助动词用have，hear的过去分词为heard，故填have heard。
10. 句意：我会让你用瓶子喂它，就像喂养婴儿一样。空格后的be动词是are，说明主语为复数，baby的复数形式为babies，故填babies。

1. were setting
