【解析】短文大意：這篇短文主要記述了一位老人的故事。他因?yàn)樽约耗贻p時(shí)不能搬動(dòng)一塊石頭，老了以后也不能搬動(dòng)這塊石頭，來(lái)證明自己和以前一樣強(qiáng)壯。其實(shí)這倒不如說(shuō)和以前一樣虛弱。

1.詞義辨析. A. 許多的,修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù);B.副詞短語(yǔ),許多,大量;C.許多,可修飾可數(shù)名詞和不可數(shù)名詞;D.名詞,命運(yùn),一塊,一堆.聯(lián)系前文描述,可知此處指的是,因此他每天有很多時(shí)間做一些事情.故選C.

3.聯(lián)系下文than young people 描述，可知前面表示和年輕人的對(duì)比，故用形容詞的比較級(jí)做表語(yǔ)，形容詞前一般不能加不定冠詞修飾，故選B，更聰明的。

4.聯(lián)系前文，可知此處指的是其中一個(gè)老男人。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知此處指的是多個(gè)老男人之一，故用復(fù)數(shù)形式。選C，男人們。

5.不定代詞辨析。A. 所有的；B.一個(gè)也沒(méi)有；C.兩者都；D. 兩者都不。聯(lián)系下文描述，可知此處指的是所有老人都認(rèn)為這是正確的。故選A。

7.介詞辨析。A. 在一點(diǎn)；B. 到，向；C.屬于，關(guān)于；D. 在上面，通過(guò)某種媒介。聯(lián)系前文描述，可知此處指的是，他的朋友們對(duì)他說(shuō)的話感到很意外。短語(yǔ)be surprised at對(duì)……感到驚奇，對(duì)……感到意外。故選A。

8.聯(lián)系下文時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，可知下文指的是，我過(guò)去嘗試移動(dòng)它。短語(yǔ)used to do sth，過(guò)去常常做某事。故選C。

9.聯(lián)系前文描述，可知此處意思是，我不能移動(dòng)它，是因?yàn)槲也粔驈?qiáng)壯。Enough做副詞修飾形容詞一般要放在被修飾詞的后面，故選A。
