1. A  形容词。此处考查形容词比较级，从后文than可知用richer.故选B。

2. D  数词。此处考查数词中固定搭配，“成千上万”应该为thousands of...。

3. A  副词。此处考查副词修饰动词的用法。busily修饰动词divide。

4. A  定语从句之关系代词。先行词为 a young man, 在定语从句中做主语，故选关系代词who。

5. C  时态。本题考查过去进行时，本句话翻译为：“当其他的村民正在忙作时，...”。6. C  定冠词。the在此处表达的是第二次提到villagers。

7. D  物主代词。“...get his potatoes ready in time.”表示“不能及时把他的土豆区分好”。8. C  句型。It is time for sb to do sth  “对某人来说是时候做...”故选C。

9. B  被动语态。本句子前面有 “...were greatly...” 故表示过去，另potatoes在文中是被区分开来，故用过去时的被动语态，答案选择B。

10. A 动名词。本题考查介宾结构。after在此处是介词，并非连词。

11.D  连词。本处表转折，意思为：村名们明白他不懒惰，但是非常聪明。

12.A  副词。考查：“也”的表达，本句子是肯定句，且在句末，故选择too.

13.B  介词。本处考查介词的固定搭配：”in the middle”意为：在中间。

14.D  系动词。Life is like this too.意思为：生活也如同这样。

15.B  情态动词。本处考查情态动词后接原形。
