【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍了国王阿克巴有个好猜谜的习惯。经常让他的大臣们猜谜并热衷于那些奇怪的谜语。有一次他问了一个非常奇怪的问题，这时伯巴勒走进了大殿。伯巴勒知道国王这个猜谜的习惯。在国王问城市里有多少只乌鸦时，伯巴勒机智地作出了回答。国王很满意他的这个答案。

1.宾语questions提示和动词ask构成动宾关系，表示“问问题”，B、C为动词，两个动词连用应该用动词不定式，跟名词advice时，ask后须跟介词for。故选A

2. 故选C

3. 故选D

4. 故选A

5.】考查名词及语境。句意: 他明白了当前的形势。承接上文“他了解国王的习惯”，说明他明白当时的“形势”，用situation表示“情况；形势”。 故选D

6.】考查动词及语境。句意：我能问你几个问题吗？以便我能更好的寻求答案。动词try 和for连用，try for 表示“谋求；尝试”，和answer构成动宾关系，表示“寻找一个答案”。 故选C

7.】考查介词及语境。句意：甚至没有经过片刻的思索。下文他立刻说出了一个具体数字，和even“甚至”的提示意义说明上文是“甚至没有经过片刻的思索”，用介词without表示“无；没有”，表示否定意义。故选B

8.】考查形容词及语境。句意：你怎样那么确信。对于他说出的具体数字，根据常理，国王是询问“你如何能这么确信？”be sure表示“确信的；有把握的”。 故选D

9.】考查动词及语境。句意：让你的臣民们数一下。承接上文，伯巴勒回答国王的问题是“让你的臣民们数一下”，用动词count表示“数”，和上面的数字对应。故选C

10.】考查形容词及语境。综合这两句话的意义“如果多了就是有来走亲戚的；如果少了，是去走亲戚了”可以推断空格处用fewer，表示“少”这一意义，和上句的more对应。故选A
