一、完形填空(每小题 1 分，满分 10 分)
There was once a farmer who had a large field of corn. He worked on it with the 1 care, but the corn was dying because there was no rain for a long time. He felt very 2.
One day, as he stood looking up at the sky, two little raindrops(雨滴) saw him. One said to the other, “Look at the farmer. I feel very sorry for him. He works so hard in the field, but now it is 3 up. I wish I might help him.”
“Yes,” said the other, “but you are only a little raindrop. You can’t water 4 one plant.” “Well,” said the first, “I know I can’t do much, but maybe I can 5 him a little. I’ll go down to show my support, if I can’t do 6 more. Here I go!”
The second one said, “Well, I think I can do that too. Here I go!” One fell on the farmer’s nose, and the other on a 7 plant.
“What’s that?” the farmer cried. “A raindrop! I do believe we’ll have a(n) 8 soon.”
By this time other raindrops had seen what they did. One said, “If you two are doing such a good job, I will 9!” And down it went. “And I!” said 10. “And I!” they all said, until a whole shower(阵雨) went down and the corn was saved all because one little raindrop tried its best to do what it could.

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。一位农民因干旱而忧虑，几滴雨滴决定尽自己的微薄之力帮助农民，最终众多雨滴的共同努力拯救了农民的玉米地。
1. D 根据“He worked on it”可知，农民给予玉米最好的照顾。故选 D。
2. C 根据“but the corn was dying because there was no rain for a long time”可知，玉米要枯死了，所以他很担心。故选 C。
3. A 根据“He works so hard in the field”和上文“but the corn was dying”可知，玉米要枯死了。故选 A。
4. C 根据“but you are only a little raindrop”可知，此处表示强调，对方只是一滴雨滴，甚至不够灌溉一株植物。故选 C。
5. B 根据“I'll go down to show my support”可知，这滴雨滴认为自己可以让农民振作一点。故选 B。
6. D 根据“if I can't do... more”可知，此句是否定句，应用 anything 表示“任何事”。故选 D。
7. C 根据上文介绍可知，玉米要枯死了，所以此处是指干旱的植物。故选 C。
8. B 根据“A raindrop!”可知，农民看到了一滴雨滴，所以认为很快就要下雨了。故选 B。
9. B 根据“If you two are doing such a good job”可知，其他雨滴认为这两滴雨滴做得很好，也要跟随而来。故选 B。
10. C 根据“And I!”和“By this time other raindrops had seen what they did.”可知，剩余的雨滴有很多，此处泛指三者以上的另一个。故选 C。

【分析】
做完形填空需遵循“先通览全文明主旨，再逐空结合语境、词义辨析解题”的思路：首先通读文章，把握核心情节——农民因玉米干旱忧虑，雨滴从各自尽微薄之力到汇聚成阵雨救了玉米；接着针对每个空，结合上下文逻辑、词汇含义及用法，排除不符合语境的选项，选出最恰当的答案。
【解析】
1. 选D。根据前文“农民在玉米地劳作”可知，他给予玉米“最大的”照顾，greatest符合语境。
2. 选C。玉米因长期无雨要枯死，农民因此“担心”，worried符合情绪逻辑。
3. 选A。结合“玉米要枯死”的背景，此处指玉米“干涸”，drying up是固定搭配，符合文意。
4. 选C。根据“只是一滴雨滴”，此处强调雨滴的微小，even（甚至）符合语境，表“连一株植物都浇不了”。
5. 选B。雨滴想支持农民，cheer sb up（让某人振作）符合雨滴的想法。
6. 选D。否定句中用anything，not anything more表示“不能做更多”，符合语境。
7. 选C。玉米因干旱要枯死，对应“干旱的”植物，thirsty符合描述。
8. 选B。看到雨滴，农民以为很快会“下雨”，rain符合语境。
9. 选B。其他雨滴看到前两滴的行动，决定“跟随”，follow符合逻辑。
10. 选C。此处泛指三者及以上的“另一个”雨滴，another符合用法。
【答案】
1.D 2.C 3.A 4.C 5.B 6.D 7.C 8.B 9.B 10.C
