（2）句意：他仔细考虑了整整一个晚上。 a whole night是时间段，引出时间段的是介词for，故答案是for。

（3）句意：最后，他决定测试一下他的儿子。decide to do sth.，决定做某事，因此使用动词不定式，故答案是to test。

（4）句意：一天，他给了他们每人一个房间。of是介词，介词后使用宾格人称代词，将they改为them，故答案是them。

（5）句意：但是不应该有空间剩下，不能向任何人请求建议。本句为there be句式，should是情态动词，情态动词后使用动词原形，故答案是be。

（6）句意：第二天，国王参观了他的大儿子的房间。本文的基本时态是一般过去时，因此本句为一般过去时，应使用visit的过去式visited，故答案是visited。

（8）句意：他的小儿子让他进去。又把门关住了。因为国王有两个儿子，先去的是大儿子的房间，后去的应该是小儿子的房间，大与小是相对的，因此都应使用比较级，故答案

是younger。

（9）句意：到处都很黑，国王生气地冲着他喊叫。angry修饰动词shouted，应使用副词形式angrily，故答案是angrily。

（10）句意：智慧比容易得到的答案更重要。本句为定语从句，先形式是answers，因此关系代词使用that或者which，故答案是which/that。

（9）句意：两条狗会弄得多糟啊！dog是可数名词，two修饰可数名词复数，故在dog 后直接加s，故填dogs。

（10）句意：“我同意你，”杰森大笑说，“或许分享不是那么坏。”ag ree with sb.，固定搭配，同意某人，故填with。
