【解析】

本文讲了一个小男孩不爱穿衣服，光着身子出门结果被误认为是猪的故事。

1.考查副词。句意：从前有个小男孩，他父母叫他穿衣服，他从来不穿，也不穿他们想要他穿的衣服。否定副词neither / nor位于句首，句子倒装。故填neither / nor。

2.考查形容词。句意：他的父母总是匆匆忙忙的，所以希望他能更快。此处根据句意要用形容词的比较级作表语，故填quicker。

3.考查副词。此处用副词Surprisingly（吃惊地）放在句首作状语，故填Surprisingly。

4.考查连词。此处是同位语从句，作名词belief的同位语，从句中不缺少任何成份和词意，所以用连词that引导，故填that。

5.考查现在分词。这里作状语，与主语the boy是主动关系，故填waiting。

6.考查关系代词。定语从句，先行词是The farmer（农民），从句中缺少主语，又是非限制性定语从句，所以用关系代词who引导该从句，故填who。

7.考查时态。说的是过去的事情，所以谓语动词要用一般过去时态，故填forgot。

8.考查代词。此处用人称代词宾格形式him作动词forced的宾语，故填him。

9.考查词。句意：当被他的父母发现时，这个吓坏了的男孩再也不想被误认为任何东西除了人。固定词组：mistake…for…（把……误认为……），故填for。

10.考查不定式。当名词前有序数词修饰或者就是序数词时，总是用不定式作定语，故此处用不定式to get修饰the first，故填to get。
