答案： 1 farmer’s 考查名词所有格。由句意可知，这里用名词所有格作定语修饰名词 daughter。
2 the 考查冠词。句意：她是太空行走（次数）最多的女宇航员。表示特指，用定冠词 the。
3 follow 考查动词。could 为情态动词，其后跟动词原形。
4 were walking 考查时态。由句意可知，这里用过去进行时态表示“过去正在发生的动作”，句子主语指的是两个人，因此这里填 were walking。
5 first 考查序数词。由常识及上下文语境可知，Neil Armstrong 和 Buzz Aldrin 成为在月球上行走的第一批人。由此可知，这里用序数词 first 表示“第一”。
6 Although/Though 考查连词。句意：虽然她只有 9 岁，但是 Whitson 对去太空很痴迷。
7 to join 考查固定搭配。be able to do sth. 意为“能够做某事”。
8 Finally 考查副词。由句意并分析句子结构可知，这里填副词 Finally 作句子的状语。注意句子首字母大写。
9 In 考查介词。表示在某一年用介词 in。
10 yourself 考查代词。由句意可知，这里用反身代词 yourself。
