“Master,” it said, “you'll have to fight on foot this time. You always made me work like an elephant and 10. fed(feed) me like a sheep. I'm no longer the strong horse that you once helped me become. Can you see what you've done?”

答案： 1.best 考查最高级。根据后面的cleanest可知，此处用最高级形式。
2.its 考查代词。所填单词修饰coat，用形容词性物主代词its。
3.nights 考查名词。介词on后面没有冠词，所以这里要填名词night的复数形式。
4.served 考查时态。所填单词作谓语；再由上下文可判断，时态为一般过去时。
5.live 考查固定搭配。“make...do sth.”意为“使……做某事”。
6.on 考查介词。表示“在农场”应用介词on。
7.The 考查冠词。这里表特指，应用定冠词The。
8.And考查连词。上下句为顺承关系，应用连词And。
9.slowly 考查副词。所填单词修饰动词短语kneel down，用副词。
10.fed 考查时态。所填单词与made并列，应用feed的过去式fed。
