答案：
解析：

1．答案：broke 　　解析：本句讲述的是过去的事情，故汽车抛锚用broke。 　　2．答案：who 　　解析：句意为：“聚集在我周围的村民在讨论有关谁将荣幸在他们家接待我。”as to后面跟的是宾语从句，从句中缺少主语。 　　3．答案：as 　　解析：receive sb．as…“把某人当客人接待”。 　　4．答案：settled 　　解析：settle为及物动词，后面往往跟人或反身代词作宾语，表示使某人或自己舒适地处于，把……安顿于；而get sb．settled“把某人安置于……”。 　　5．答案：a 　　解析：town为可数名词，前面必须有冠词。而此处为泛指，因此用a。 　　6．答案：where 　　解析：where there was a garage是定语从句修饰a town，定语从句中缺少状语，故选where。 　　7．答案：Other 　　解析：句意为：“别的村民为我拿来了羊奶酪和蜂蜜。” 　　8．答案：merrily 　　解析：修饰副词，当然应该用merry的副词形式。 　　9．答案：for 　　解析：句意为：“我想为我给村民们造成的不便而酬谢他们。”reward sb．for sth．“因某事酬谢某人”。 　　10．答案：her
