【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。本文通过农夫和邻居吵架的故事告诉我们：言语也会伤害他人，所以说话前一定要三思。
1. B 根据“the farmer got so angry that he said many”可推测，农民在很生气的情况下应该会说许多坏话。故选 B。
2. A 空处作 do 的宾语，所以用 what。故选 A。
3. A 根据“he decided to go to the sage and ask for an...”可知，上文讲到农夫想要收回自己说过的话，但是不知道做什么，所以此处指寻找该问题的答案。故选 A。
4. B 根据“So, he decided to go to the sage and ask for an...”及“asked him to tell him a way to take his words”可知，他告诉了圣人发生的所有的事情，从而寻求答案。故选 B。
5. D 根据上文“wanted to take his words back”可知，此处指收回说过的话的方法。故选 D。
6. B 根据“all the feathers... away because of wind”及常识可知，风吹过后羽毛会飞走。故选 B。
7. D 根据“I couldn't bring back those feathers... there were none left”可知，他没有带回羽毛，因为风把羽毛都吹走了。故选 D。
8. B 根据“but cannot take them back even if you want to”及上文可知，农夫因为生气轻易地说出了不好的话语，但是却收不回来了。故选 B。
9. D 根据上文“the farmer got so angry that he said many”可知，农夫是在生气的情况下说出了一些不好的话，所以此处指生气的时候。故选 D。

【分析】
做完形填空需遵循“通读全文把握主旨→逐空结合语境/词义/搭配/逻辑分析→验证答案”的思路：首先通读短文，理解文章讲述“农夫与邻居吵架后找圣人求收回恶语方法”的故事，明确主旨是“言语易伤人，说话需三思”；接着逐空分析：第1题由“生气”判断说坏话，第2题“do”缺宾语用what，第5题对应“take back”固定搭配，第6题羽毛被风吹走用fly away，第7题因果关系用because等，最后验证答案符合逻辑。
【解析】
1. B 由前文“got so angry”可知，农民生气时会说许多坏话，bad符合语境，故选B。
2. A 此处作“do”的宾语，表“不知道做什么”，用疑问词what，故选A。
3. A 农夫意识到错误想收回话语，因此找圣人寻求问题的答案，answer符合，故选A。
4. B 农夫向圣人讲述了所有事情，请求收回话语的方法，everything符合语境，故选B。
5. D 对应前文“wanted to take his words back”，此处指收回话语的方法，take back是固定搭配，故选D。
6. B 由“because of wind”及常识，羽毛被风吹走，fly away（飞走）符合，故选B。
7. D 前后是因果关系，“没带回羽毛”的原因是“羽毛被风吹走”，用because，故选D。
8. B 结合后文“cannot take them back”，可知人轻易就能说出话语，easily符合，故选B。
9. D 对应前文“got so angry that he said many bad things”，此处指生气时，anger符合，故选D。
10. C 全文主旨是言语会伤害他人，hurt（伤害）符合语境，故选C。
