【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：一天早上，一个老太婆携带一大篮子土豆赶往市场。她希望把土豆卖给从镇上的人。

山路很窄，老太太小心的走着，突然听到响亮的铃声，一个人骑着自行车从她旁边飞驰而过，几乎撞了老太太也不回头看看。老太太就开始大叫，“回来吧，年轻人！你掉了东西啦！”听到叫声那男孩突然停下自行车以至于快要掉下来了。然后他转身推着自行车返回到山上。老太太告他说，“你把你的礼貌掉啦。”

1.她希望把他们卖给从镇上来的人。send送； give给；sell卖； take带走。根据短文第一句Early one morning, an old woman was carrying a big basket of potatoes on her head to the market可推知选 C。

2.山路很窄，这位老太太小心地走着。careful仔细的；carefully仔细地； politely有礼貌地； quiet安静的。根据后文because she did not want to have and lose her potatoes.可推知老太太走路很小心 ，所以选B，副词作状语，修饰动词。

3.因为她不想发生意外失去土豆。a match一场比赛； a rest一次测验；an accident 一次事故；a talk 一次谈话。根据后面and lose her potatoes 可推知此处是说她不想发生意外，所以选C。

4.她突然听见响亮的铃声。hit碰，撞； made制造；found 找到，发现； heard 听见。故选D。

5.自行车经过她非常快地朝山下而去。down向下； up向上；to 到； over在上面。根据后文Then he turned and began to the bicycle back up to the hill.可推知选 A。

6.老妇人只好很快跳到马路的边上。road马路；street街道； town 城镇；hill小山。根据前文The mountain road was narrow可知选 A。

7.他继续骑车走。driving驾驶； riding骑； running 跑；walking 走。这里是在说那位骑车人继续骑车走，骑自行车通常用动词ride，所以选B。

8.甚至没有回头看。saw看见；watched观看；looking 看； found找到，发现。所填动词跟在介词without后面，所以该用动名词形式，故选C。

9.然后他转身推着自行车返回到山。carry搬，扛，拿；catch赶上，接住；give 给； push推。根据常识人们上山时是推着自行车，而不是骑着，所以选D。

10.你掉了你的礼貌。fruit水果； potatoes土豆； manners礼貌；bicycles 自行车。结合情景可知选C。

考点：故事类短文。
