【解析】你聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)阿凡提嗎？他是很久以前新疆那里一個(gè)很聰明的人，這篇故事中給我們講述了關(guān)于聰明的阿凡提的一個(gè)故事。

【1】根據(jù)短文的開(kāi)頭Once upon a time，there lived a clever man in Xinjiang．His name was Afanti．以及這個(gè)故事的內(nèi)容可知，阿凡提是一個(gè)很聰明的人。故填Clever。

【2】根據(jù)短文中The people lived an unhappy life．But they couldn’t talk more about that．Because if the king knew their complaints(抱怨)，he would kill them．可知，人們過(guò)著不開(kāi)心的生活，但是他們又不能抱怨，因?yàn)槿绻麌?guó)王知道他們抱怨的話，他就會(huì)殺死他們。

【3】根據(jù)短文中And he complained about the king all the time．Then the king knew about it and sent for Afanti可知，因?yàn)榘⒎蔡峥偸潜г梗�所以�?guó)王知道了他。

【4】根據(jù)短文中“How many stars are there in the sky?”the king asked．以及 “Then,how many hairs does my beard have?”可知，國(guó)王問(wèn)了阿凡提兩個(gè)問(wèn)題。

【5】根據(jù)故事的最后“Your beard has as many hairs as my donkey’s tail．If you don’t believe(相信)it，you can count them．可知，阿凡提說(shuō)國(guó)王的胡須和他的毛驢的尾巴一樣多。as many as是固定短語(yǔ)，和…一樣多。
