1.句意：一天，老马让小马把小麦送到磨坊。

考查动词。asked问，要求；helped帮助；invited邀请；warned警告。根据句意，可知是老马要求小马送麦子去磨坊，要求某人做某事ask sb to do sth。故选A。

2.句意：小马非常开心。

3.句意：他驮着小麦，开心地跑向磨坊。

考查名词。river河；mill磨坊；house房子；farm农场。根据第一段第二句“One day the old horse asked the little horse to send same wheat to a mill”，可知小马应是搬着小麦去磨坊。故选B。

4.句意：他停了下来，不知道接下来怎么做。

考查特殊疑问词。why为什么；what什么；when何时，where何地。根据句意，可知是小马不知道怎么办，what to do。故选B。

5.句意：当小马开始过河时，一只小松鼠对它大喊。

考查动词短语。shouted at对……大喊；looked for寻找；listened to听；talked about谈论某事。根据下文小松鼠的话，可知松鼠是对着小马大喊劝他不要过河。故选A。

6.句意：最后他决定回家问他的妈妈。

9.句意：我的孩子，你应该自己尝试过河。

考查反身代词。himself他自己；yourself你自己；herself她自己；yourselves你们自己。根据“My child”名词单数以及句意，可知是靠你自己过河。故选B。
