【解析】

試題分析：兩只青蛙掉到井里后，拼命地想跳出來。別的青蛙都認為這是不可能的，一只青蛙聽從了大家的建議從而放棄了努力，最后死在井里了。而另一只耳聾的青蛙卻以為大家在鼓勵他們，不懈的努力，終于跳了出來。故事告訴我們語言有決定人生死的力量，我們要正確看待和使用它。

1.as 。 固定短語“as good as ”意思是“等于；和……一樣好”，故答案填as。

2.their。根據(jù)情景可知這兩只青蛙是使勁往外跳，名詞前應該有限定詞，從語境判斷填their。

3.telling。固定短語：keep doing sth“一直做某事”，故答案填telling，

4.up。故事中其他的青蛙都勸這兩只青蛙不要白費勁，根據(jù)前句內容one of the frogs heard …..判斷這只青蛙聽從別的青蛙的話，就放棄了，固定短語 “give up”放棄，答案填up。

5.could。固定短語：as …as sb can “盡某人所能”，文章是過去時態(tài)，所以填could。

6.harder。由語法結構可以判斷jump后填副詞，而even用來修飾比較級，再根據(jù)The other frog went on jumping as hard as he…..可以判斷填harder。

7.finally 。 從句子結構可知此處是修飾全句的，應該用副詞，答案填finally。

8.were encouraging。此處指當這兩只青蛙在井里的時候，耳聾的青蛙認為大家在鼓勵他們，所以應該用過去進行時，答案填were encouraging。

9.who。根據(jù)結構判斷此處是定語從句，從句中缺少主語，而先行詞是someone，故填who。

10.what。介詞of后面是賓語從句，從句中缺少say的賓語，故填what。

考點：考查學生的語法和詞匯知識。
