本文讲述了一个国王为了考验两个人，让他们往篮子里打水，忠诚的人不遗余力地往空篮子里打水，直到国王归来。结果不仅获得了一枚金戒指，而且得到了国王的信任。
答案简析
1.C。这里did和finished都表示完成了这项工作，而给篮子装满水是不可能的，国王应在两人开始打水后不久离开，所以应选began。
2.B。往篮子里盛满水是永远不可能的，故选择never。
3.A。两者中的另一个用the other加名词来表示。
4.C。the first man想离开，因为他觉得自己干的是无用功，故选择nothing意为“从事某项工作”。
5.D。pick up意为“捡起”， pick away意为“放好”，take away意为“取走”，而throw down意为“扔掉、丢弃”，比较贴近文意，为正确选项。
6.A。根据文意，另一个人一直在打水，故选water。
7.B。不停地打水必然会导致井空，故选empty。
8.B。while引导从句时，从句应用延续性动词，before和since不符合文意，as soon as…表示“一……就”为正确选项。
9.A。国王是因为这个诚实的人所做过的事情而表扬他，所以应用完成时态have done。
10.D。国王讲的最后一句话是含有 “so……that”结构的复合句，意为“如此……以致”故选that。
