【1题详解】
考查时态。句意：从前有一个护林人到森林里去打猎，当他走进森林时，听到一声尖叫，好像有个小孩在那里。根据上文“There was once a forester who went into the forest to hunt”可知描述过去发生的事情用一般过去时。故填entered。
【2题详解】
考查时态。句意：他顺着声音走，最后来到一棵高高的树下，树顶上坐着一个孩子，因为妈妈抱着孩子在树下睡着了。结合语境，“睡着”发生在护林人来之前，即“过去的过去”应用过去完成时。故填had fallen。
【3题详解】
考查代词。句意：护林人爬了上去，把孩子抱下来，心想：“我要把他带回家，和莉娜一起抚养他。”此处指护林人自己应用反身代词himself。故填himself。
【4题详解】
考查时态。句意：护林人爬了上去，把孩子抱下来，心想：“我要把他带回家，和莉娜一起抚养他。”直接引语中表示将来的动作，应用一般将来时。故填will take。
【5题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：他在树上找到的那个叫Fundevogel的孩子，因为一只鸟把他叼走了。主语与谓语构成被动关系，且描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为one，谓语用单数。故填was called。
【6题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：Fundevogel和Lina深爱着对方，当他们看不到对方时，他们都很伤心。引导结果状语从句，表示“如此……以至于……”应用so…that…。故填so。
【7题详解】
考查冠词。句意：然而，森林管理员有一个老厨子，一天晚上，他提着两桶水开始打水，不止一次，而是很多次，去打泉水。cook为可数名词，此处表泛指应用不定冠词，且old是发音以元音音素开头的单词。故填an。
【8题详解】
考查介词。句意：如果你不告诉任何人，我就告诉你原因。结合语境表示“向任何人诉说”应用介词to。故填to。
【9题详解】
考查时态。句意：莉娜说她不会说的。此处主句为一般过去时，宾语从句也应用过去相对应的时态，此处为过去将来时。故填would never repeat。
【10题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：等壶里的水开了，我就把Fundevogel扔进去，把它煮了。引导时间状语从句，表示“当……时候”应用when。句首单词首字母要大写。故填When。
