【解析】

試題分析：農夫讓他的狗和兔子進行一場比賽，他把一個胡蘿卜和一根骨頭埋在他家是一大塊田地里看哪一個先找到。兔子很積極地挖洞尋找，而狗一直在抱怨。最后兔子在狗躺著的地方的土地里找到了胡蘿卜和骨頭。

1.句意：一個農夫在一塊最大的田地里埋了一個胡蘿卜和一根骨頭讓他的兔子和狗進行比賽。他想看看哪個動物先發(fā)現(xiàn)它們。在狗和兔子兩者之間進行選擇，應該是which。

2.句意：快樂的、樂觀的兔子馬上投入尋找蘿卜的任務。這里用形容詞cheerful和后面的形容詞optimistic一起修飾名詞rabbit。所以填cheerful。

3.句意：這里挖挖那里挖挖，完全自信自己會找到。用動詞的-ing形式做狀語。所以填digging。

4.句意：但是狗仔它周圍聞了一會兒，就躺下開始抱怨這個工作是多么困難。所以填lie（躺）的 過去式lay。

5.句意：兔子挖了好幾個小時。時間段用for+時間段。

6.句意：這里是對比了兔子和狗的行為。狗在那里抱怨，而兔子認為洞越挖越少。所以用轉折連詞But。

7.句意：當沒有什么可挖的地方時。這里用過去分詞left和前面的 place是邏輯上的被動關系。所以用left。

8.句意：兔子挖了一個隧道直通到狗一直躺的地方。to后是地點狀語，所以用where作地點狀語。

9.句意：狗一開始來對了地方。這里用the表特指。

10.句意：狗失敗是因為他一直在抱怨，根本就沒有嘗試。所以填連詞because。
