【解析】

试题分析：这是一个笑话，贫农Nasreddin在街上碰到两头牛，搞不清是哪一头毁坏了他家的菜园，于是用棒子将两头牛一起抽打，牛主人制止时，他却强词夺理，无理取闹。

1.C考查习惯用语及交际用语。句意：所以他试图在自己的花园里种植尽可能多的蔬菜。as … as one can/could意为“尽可能的”many后跟复数名词，many vegetables很多的蔬菜，放于as … as之间。故答案为C。

2.A考查动词时态及交际用语。句意：一头白色的牛进入了花园，正在吃他的蔬菜。A. was eating过去进行时态；B. ate 一般过去时态；C. would eat 过去将来时态。过去进行时强调过去正在进行的动作，根据文意Nasreddin看到牛正在吃蔬菜，故选 was eating 。答案为A。

3.C考查时间状语及交际用语。句意：第二天早晨。A. Last day表达错误；B. Next morning 下一天，C. The next morning第二天。指过去某一天的第一天或第二天早上、晚上，应用the next day/morning/evening。 故应选The next morning 。答案为C。

4.C考查动词时态及交际用语。句意：当他在他家附近的街上走的时候。他看见一辆车上有两个白色的牛，看起来很像吃了他的蔬菜的那只。A. walks 一般现在时态；B. waked一般过去时态； C. was walking 过去进行时态。在从句动作进行的过程中，主句动作发生了，这时从句常用进行时态，故选择was walking 。答案为C。

5.B考查定语从句的关联词及语境理解。句意：他看见一辆车上装着两头白色的牛，看起来很像吃了他的蔬菜的那只。A. who 指人；B. that指人或物；C. whose 指人。 先行词the one 指物，故答案为B。

6.A考查连词及语境理解。句意：因此他马上用棒子抽打两头牛。A. so因此；B. and 而且；C. but 但是。从句子意思看，空白处前后构成因果关系，故选择so。 答案为A。

7.B考查介词及语境理解。句意：牛和车的主人正在附近的一个咖啡馆里喝咖啡。A. beside在旁边；B. nearby附近；C. near 靠近。形容词nearby一般作定语，表示“不远的，附近的”，合乎文意，为正确选项。答案为B。

8.C考查引导宾语从句的关联词及语境理解。句意：当他看到Nasreddin对他的动物做些什么的时候。A. that 用来引导从句的原形是陈述句的宾语从句；B. which 哪一个；C. what什么。这里需要一个引导词，引导saw的宾语从句，同时在句子里作do的宾语，故选 what。答案为C。

9.B考查介词及语境理解。句意：当他看到Nasreddin对他的动物做些什么的时候。A. for 为了；B. to 对于，朝……方向；C. with 与……在一起，随着。do sth. to sb.结构中to后面常接动作的对象。答案为B。

10.B考查连词及语境理解。句意：它很清楚我为什么打它。A. when何时；B. why 为什么；C. because因为。牛主人问及Nasreddin打牛的原因，这里需要一个引导词引导 knew的宾语从句，且在从句中作状语，根据上文可知这里应填 why，答案为B。
