Question

【解析】

试题分析：两只青蛙掉到井里后，拼命地想跳出来。别的青蛙都认为这是不可能的，一只青蛙听从了大家的建议从而放弃了努力，最后死在井里了。而另一只耳聋的青蛙却以为大家在鼓励他们，不懈的努力，终于跳了出来。故事告诉我们语言有决定人生死的力量，我们要正确看待和使用它。

1.as 。 固定短语“as good as ”意思是“等于；和……一样好”，故答案填as。

2.their。根据情景可知这两只青蛙是使劲往外跳，名词前应该有限定词，从语境判断填their。

3.telling。固定短语：keep doing sth“一直做某事”，故答案填telling，

4.up。故事中其他的青蛙都劝这两只青蛙不要白费劲，根据前句内容one of the frogs heard …..判断这只青蛙听从别的青蛙的话，就放弃了，固定短语 “give up”放弃，答案填up。

5.could。固定短语：as …as sb can “尽某人所能”，文章是过去时态，所以填could。

6.harder。由语法结构可以判断jump后填副词，而even用来修饰比较级，再根据The other frog went on jumping as hard as he…..可以判断填harder。

7.finally 。 从句子结构可知此处是修饰全句的，应该用副词，答案填finally。

8.were encouraging。此处指当这两只青蛙在井里的时候，耳聋的青蛙认为大家在鼓励他们，所以应该用过去进行时，答案填were encouraging。

9.who。根据结构判断此处是定语从句，从句中缺少主语，而先行词是someone，故填who。

10.what。介词of后面是宾语从句，从句中缺少say的宾语，故填what。
