【解析】

文章讲述的是Peter感觉自己一无所有而悲观厌世，后来在一位智者的指点下，终于认识到自己拥有很多东西的故事。这个故事告诉人们拥有积极的生活态度是非常重要的。

1.

句意：他最近很伤心，因为他觉得自己什么都没有了。

something一些事情；anything任何事情；everything一切；nothing没有什么；根据句意理解及后文中的He said to the wise man, “I don’t have anything left.”可知，这里表达的是“什么也没有”，故选D。

2.

句意：一天，彼得去向一位智者请求帮忙。

in在……里面；at在……点时；for为了；on在……上面；根据句意理解及后文的描述可知，这里表达的是“向某人寻求帮助”，英语是ask sb for help，所以这里应该用for，故选C。

3.

句意：我什么都没有了，所以我不想活了。

though虽然；but但是；or或者；so所以；根据句意理解可知，I don’t have anything left.与I don’t want to live.两句之间是因果关系，且后句表达的是结果，表达的是“因此”，所以应该用so，故选D。

4.

句意：他解释说他会在左边写下彼得失去的东西。

lost失去；got得到；afforded买的起；locked锁；根据句意理解及后句and the things Peter still had on the right side可知，这里表达的是“失去的”，故选A。

5.

句意：你的家人什么时候离开你的？

friends朋友；family家庭，家人；classmates同学；teachers老师；根据句意理解及后文“They haven’t left me. They love me! That’s great!” said the wise man. “Then that will be the first thing on the right side—Family haven’t left.”可知，这里指的是“家人”，故选B。

6.

句意：我当然有了。

will将会；won’t将不会；do做，动词原形，或者现在时的助动词；don’t现在时的助动词的否定形式；根据句意理解及前句Now, do you have freedom?可知，问句是一般疑问句，且是一般现在时，助动词是do，所以这里回答肯定形式应该用助动词do，故选C。

7.

句意：这是右边第二个。

first第一；second第二；third第三；fourth第四；根据句意理解及前句The wise man asked, “When did your _____5_____leave you?”可知，这里应该是问的第二个问题，所以应该用second，故选B。

8.

句意：之后，彼得又被问了几个同样的问题。

asked问，过去式；has asked问，现在完成时结构；is asked被问，一般现在时的被动结构；was asked被问，一般过去时的被动结构；根据句意理解及后句he finally understood and smiled.可知，动作是发生在过去，且主语与动词之间是被动关系，所以应该用过去时的被动结构，故选D。

9.

句意：当你用不同的方式去思考它们，事情就会改变！

safe安全的；social社会的；harmful有害的；different不同的；根据句意理解及前文He explained that he would write down the things Peter _____4_____on the left side and the things Peter still had on the right side.以及They haven’t left me. They love me!可知，这里表达的是“不同的方式”，所以应用different，故选D。

10.

句意：事实上，改变你的态度，你就会改变你的世界。

attitude态度；advice建议；speech演讲；energy能量；根据句意理解及前句“Things will change when you think of them in a ____9____way!”可知，这里表达的是“改变态度”，故选A。
