解析

试题分析：文章讲述一个有钱人想帮助别人，但是想看看这些人值不值得帮助，他用一块大石头试探人们。
小题1:who 考查定语从句，先行词指人，定语从句缺少主语，故用who。
小题2:But 根据句意“他想确认一下镇上的人是否值得他帮助。”可知，这里应该是转折关系。
小题3:a 泛指一块大石头，a large stone。
小题4:hid考查hide的过去式。
小题5:Another泛指“另一个人”用another，并且，后文有提示。
小题6:it前文提到的事物，再次提到用代词代替，以避免重复。故用it。
小题7:saying动词ing在此表伴随状况，且表主动。
小题8:will be根据句意可知，此人说的情况是将来的情况。故用一般将来时。
小题9:strength“用尽全力”with后要用“力量”的名词形式。即strength。
小题10:在石头下，他发现一大袋钱。考查介词“在…下面”under
