【解析】本文主要讲述了一个国王总是不开心。这令王后和他的臣民担心。医生说国王需要穿上一个快乐之人的衬衫才能康复。但是，他们认为快乐的人也不快乐，因为他们总担心失去权力，金钱，自由等。于是国王的大将军被要求三天内去找一个真正快乐的人。

1.句意：他睡得不好不喜欢吃东西。A. badly 副词，糟糕地，不好地； B. bad 形容词坏的，糟糕的 ； C. worse badly和 bad的比较级。该空修饰动词slept，且没有比较的意义，故使用副词，所以答案是A。

2.句意：但是他没有发现，他的身体有毛病。something ，anything是不定代词，定语后置，所以B选项是错误的；该句是否定句，一般情况下something用于肯定句，anything用于否定句和疑问句，可排除A，所以答案是C。

3.句意：但是他们都有很多的忧虑。. A. much很多，修饰不可数名词 ；B. a lot of 很多，即可修饰数名词，也可修饰不可数名词 ； C. lot of不正确。Worries是可数名词，所以选B。

4.句意：丞相认为很多人试图取代他的位置，他就会失去权力。本题考查动词短语。A. take his place 代替他的位置； B. keep his place留住自己的位置 ；C. make his place让位。根据句意选A。

5.句意：财政大臣害怕失去他的钱。Be afraid to do sth害怕做某事，是固定短语，所以选B to lose

6.句意：御用歌手说他不能得到自由因为他总是担心被其他的人超越。. A. the other表示已知的两个（或两部分）人或事物中，特指的“另一个”或“另一些”，其后可跟单数或复数名词。 B. other 作形容词，通常用在单数或复数名词的前面，意为“别的；其他的；另外的其余的 C. others (=other+复数名词) 泛指“部分”含义，用于已知的一些人或物中，除去某些后余下的人或物中的一部分。根据句意结合这三个词的用法，知选C。

7.句意：最后，国王的最高将军被任命在三天内去外面找到一个快乐的人。A. In the end 最后 B. By the end 到…为止; C. At the end在…的末尾。结合文章内容：国王的丞相、财政大臣、御用歌手都说自己不快乐，最后决定去宫廷外寻找快乐的人。故选A。

8.句意：他看到一个穷人在街上快乐地唱着歌。See sb doing sth看见某人正在做某事。See sb do sth看见某人做了某事， see sb to do sth是错误的，根据句意选A

9.句意：尽管他似乎没有权利，没有金钱，没有荣誉。. A. never 从来不，绝不，是副词 ； B. not不 ，没有， 是副词，表示否定； C. no没有的，可做形容词，副词，名词。因为权利，金钱，荣誉都是名词，不能使用副词修饰，可排除A、B，正确选项是C。

10.句意：于是，他叫这个穷人把他的衬衣给国王。Ask sb to do sth 要求某人做某事，叫某人做某事；Give sth to sb把···给···，故选B。
