【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述一个游人带了一口锅来到一个村庄，他饥饿难耐，却无人给他吃的东西。于是他支起锅头，用水煮石头，村民感到好奇，问他煮什么，他说煮石头汤，还说如果有胡萝卜，石头汤会更美味。因此，这个村民给了他胡萝卜。又一个好奇的村民来围观，他说汤里加肉更好喝。就这样，围观的村民越来越多，每个人给他加一样东西，他做成了一锅美味的汤，并与大家一同分享。

1.根据下文nobody would offer their food to him的描述以及首字母提示可知，这里是指这个游人饿了却没有人给他吃的东西，故应填：hungry。

2.根据语境可知句意为：游人用水装满锅头。“用（物品）装满（容器）”应表达为：fill+容器+with+物品。由于这是讲故事，应用一般过去时，结合所给首字母提示可知应填：filled。

3.根据语境可知这里是指把锅头架在火上。结合首字母提示可知应填：over，表示“在……上空”，区别于on，表示“在……表面上”。

4.根据语境可知句意为：有一个村民问他在做什么。结合首字母提示可知应填：what，在句中用作do的宾语。

5.根据语境可知句意为：这个村民似乎很感兴趣。seem是连系动词，后接形容词作表语。结合所给首字母提示可知应填：interested。

6.根据语境可知句意为：汤尝起来非常好，但是我需要一些胡萝卜使汤更美味。结合所给首字母提示可知，这里应填：it，指代前文的soup

7.根据语境可知这里指的是村民于是给他拿来了一些胡萝卜。结合所给首字母提示可知应填：brought，带来、拿来。

8.根据语境可知这里是指游人同样的又一次告诉路人石头汤的事。结合首字母提示可知应填：and，表示并列，“和前面一样”。

9.根据语境可知这里是指每个人加另一样东西。结合首字母提示可知应填：other，表示区别于其他的东西，“别的”、“其他的”。

10.根据语境可知这里指的是他和大家一同分享。结合所给首字母提示可知应填：share。
