【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述了一个农民用马驮着粮食走在路上，袋子从马上掉下来了，而他自己又扛不上去。这时候住在附近的一个伟人经过，农民不想向这样个伟大的人寻求帮助，但伟人自己停下来主动帮助他。农民说我应该怎么报答你呢，伟人让他在别人需要帮助的时候伸出援手就可以了。

1.考查动词与语境理解。根据词意选项，此句为：突然他的袋子从马上掉到了地上。Fall掉落，这里用一般过去式fell,故选B。falling是现在分词，fallen是过去分词。

2.考查连词与语境理解。根据后面的to do，此句为：他不知道怎么做。Know后面接的是宾语从句，要用疑问词，A什么；B怎么样；故选B。that 在宾语从句中不做成分，it不引导宾补从句。

3.考查副词与语境理解。结合选项词意，此句为：袋子太重了他自己扛不起来。Too…to…太，而不能，故选D。A非常；B如此；C非常。

4.考查动词与语境理解。这里指的是帮助他，此句为：他只希望有人经过来帮助他。短语give a hand 帮忙，故选D。A借出；B问；C借进。

5.考查动词与语境理解。结合选项词意，此句为：正在那个时候有人骑马走来。Ride骑，这里用ing形式riding表示动作的正在进行，故选A。

6.考查动词与语境理解。根据后文得知，He couldn’t ask such a great man to help him.他不能要求这么个伟人来帮他。所以此句为：当看到来人是谁的时候，这个农民的心下沉了。Fall掉落；sink下沉，过去式为sank；rose升起，是rise的过去式。这里要用动词过去式，故选C。

7.考查形容词与语境理解。根据后文得知，He couldn’t ask such a great man to help him.他不能要求这么个伟人来帮他。此句为：这个个住在附近的伟人。A贫穷的；B伟大的；C正确的；D好的，故选B。

8.考查名词与语境理解。根据选项词意，此句为：令他惊讶的是，这个伟人一走近来就下马了。短语to one’s surprise令某人惊讶的是，故选C。

9.考查动词与语境理解。根据选项词意，此句为：我看见你需要帮助，朋友。See sb.do sth.看见某人做某事，后面动词用原形，故选B想，需要。

10.考查名词与语境理解。根据选项词意，此句为：这个伟人笑着回答。With a smile面带微笑，需要冠词a，故选D。

考点：故事类短文。
