【解析】

这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述熊有条长长的尾巴，他很喜欢自己的尾巴；但是狐狸不喜欢熊的尾巴。狐狸用诡计诱骗熊在湖里用尾巴钓鱼，让熊的尾巴断了的故事。

1.句意:湖被冰覆盖着。

water水；leaves树叶；ice冰； holes洞。根据“a freezing winter”可知常识可知冬天的湖面被冰覆盖着，用名词ice。故选C。

2.句意：狐狸在冰里凿了一个洞，正好在熊的房子附近。

ever 曾； right正好；always总是；hardly几乎不。此处表达洞的位置正好在房子附近，用副词right。故选B。

3.句意：到熊从旁走过的时候，狐狸的周围都是大鱼。

came about产生，发生； came in进来；came from来自； came by从旁走过，路过。此处没有宾语，表达“熊从洞旁边路过”，用动词短语came by。故选D。

4.句意：而且他看到狐狸从洞里用尾巴拉出一条大鱼。

though尽管；and和；if如果；because因为。根据“all around Fox were big fish”可知此处表示顺承关系，用连词and。故选B。

5.句意：熊很惊奇地问：“美好的一天，狐狸，你在干什么？”

satisfaction满意；danger危险；anger 生气；surprise吃惊。此处表示熊看到狐狸用尾巴从洞里拉出鱼很吃惊，用in surprise。故选D。

6.句意：狐狸回答说：“我在钓鱼。你想试试么？”

fishing钓鱼； shopping购物；exercising锻炼；cooking烹饪。根据前文“Fox pulling out a big fish from the hole with his tail”可知狐狸正在钓鱼，用现在分词fishing。故选A。

7.句意：熊跟随狐狸到了一个新地方，那里湖很浅不能捉到鱼。

led引导；advised建议；followed跟随； drove开，驱使。此处的he指的是bear，根据“to a new place”可知此处表示熊跟随狐狸到了一个新地方。用动词followed。故选C。

8.句意：熊跟随狐狸到了一个新地方，那里湖很浅不能捉到鱼。

too也；so如此；much多的； quite非常。根据“he caught no fish”可知此处表达否定，用too…to…表示“太浅不能捉到鱼”。故选A。

9.句意：狐狸帮助熊挖了一个洞，叫他把尾巴放在里面。

cross穿过；over悬在……上面；on在……上面；in在……里面。根据“a hole”以及“place his tail”可知此处表示把尾巴放在洞里，用介词in。故选D。

10.句意：更糟的是，当他试着把尾巴拉出来的时候，尾巴折断了。

longer更长的；worse更糟的；better更好的；less更少的。根据“he caught no fish”，可知“it broke off”尾巴断了是比抓不到鱼更糟糕的事情，用比较级worse。故选B。
