试题分析：这篇短文描述了父子两个人在卖马的路上遇到很多路人，他们提出各种不同的意见，这对父子不知该如何是好的故事。告诉我们一个人很难让所有人都满意的道理。 小题1:根据Father and son walked, because the farmer did not want the horse to be too tired.可知答：Because the farmer did not want the horse to be too tired. 小题2:根据It is a fact that you cannot please all the people all the time.及上文描述可知答：It is a fact that you cannot please all the people all the time. 小题3:根据划线部分内容，一天早晨，可知是对时间进行提问。结合语境可知本句是一般过去时态，故助动词用did，填：When did。 小题4:结合语境可知本句是一般现在时态，句中have是有的意思，主语是第二人称，一般情况下要借助于助动词do，故填：don’t have。 小题5:结合语境可知从句内容描述的是过去的状态，故谓语动词用过去式，填it wasn’t。 点评：本题中个别小题不能直接从文中找到答案，需要自己根据相关内容分析总结。一定要弄懂全文后再动手解答问题。书写答案时，注意首字母大写，因为是回答问句，即使只有一个单词也是一个句子。为避免不必要的错误，只要能使用原文的就尽量使用原文回答问题，即使自己总结也尽量使用短句。同时并注意人称和数的变化。

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读短文，完成下列各题。Once there was an old farmer, with a..”主要考查你对  零冠词  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

零冠词

考点名称：零冠词

• 零冠词：
  是指名词前面没有不定冠词(a、an)、定冠词(the)，也没有其他限定词的现象。零冠词也是冠词的一种。
  例如：
  This is my book.
  Bread is made from flour.
  Let's go and play basketball.
  He is head of the factory.
  注意：有些名词前用the，或不用the，其意义有所不同。例如：
  go to school  上学    
  go to the school 到学校去
  in future 今后，将来  
  in the future 将来  

• 零冠词的用法：
  1．表示抽象概括意义时，不可数名词和复数名词使用零冠词，例如：
  （/）Books are my best friends．书是我的好朋友。
  （/）Cotton feels soft.棉花摸起来柔软。
  （/）Water boils at 100℃．水在摄氏100度沸腾。
  比较：The water in this river is undrinkable．这条河的水不可饮用。
  
  2．专有名词通常使用零冠词，例如：
  （/）Lu Xun is a great Chinese writer．鲁迅是一位伟大的中国作家。
  （/）London is the capital of England．伦敦是英国的首都。
  （/）China is a developing socialist country．中国是一个发展中的社会主义国家。
  （注意：组合国名或缩写国名前加定冠词，如：the United States 美国；the U.K 英国）
  
  3．按照习惯下列各类名词使用零冠词：
  1）季节、月份、星期以及节假日（中国传统节日除外，详细请查阅“定冠词”）等名词前，例：
  （/）Summer begins in June in this part of the country．这个地区夏天从六月份开始。

  They were in （/）church just now．（to worship）现在他们在做礼拜。
  同样， in hospital是“住院（治疗）”，in prison是“服刑”，等等。
  注意：如果在这类名词前加冠词，则表示去那里干与之无关的事，例：
  go to the school 可理解为去学校看望人，而不是“学习”。
  
  4．在表示职位、头衔、身份等名词前，例：
  （/）Professor Wang 王教授
  （/）Doctor Tompson 汤普生医生
  （/）President Lincoln 林肯总统
  （/）Dean of the English Department 英语系主任

  They are teachers. 他们是教师。
  当两个或两个以上名词并用时，常省去冠词；
  I can't write without pen or pencil.没有钢笔和铅笔，我就写不了字。

  by bus，by train；

  （/）school，（/）college，（/）prison，（/）market，（/）hospital，（/）bed，（/）table，（/）class，（/）town，（/）church，（/）court
