答案解析
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
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
