解析

试题分析: 本文讲述了一个很有哲理的小故事：一位农民每年种的玉米都会在集市上获得殊荣。当一位记者采访他的时候却惊讶地发现他把自己的玉米种子送给邻居们。当被问到原因的时候，他说邻居的玉米和自己家玉米的长势是息息相关的，只有别人的玉米好了，他家的玉米才会好。
小题1:.where 考查关系词。Fair后是定语从句 ，从句是主谓宾结构，句中缺少状语，因为先行词fair表示地点，故填where。
小题2:something 考查不定代词。此处缺少learn的宾语，而形容词只有修饰不定代词时才会后置，根据句意可知填something。
小题3:The 考查冠词。因为上文提到过这个记者，所以再次出现时用定冠词the表示特指，因在句首，故填The。
小题4:with 考查介词。固定短语：in competition with “在与某人竞争中”， 填with。
小题5:it  考查代词。根据上文内容可知风会把花粉传到别的玉米上，此处指代不可数名词“花粉”，应该用it。
小题6:of 考查短语搭配。固定短语：be aware of sth “意识到”，故答案是of。
小题7:unless 考查连词。从句意可知后句内容是前句的条件，表示除非邻居的玉米能长好，否则他的玉米就不会长好，填unless。
小题8:So。考查固定句式。So it is with sb“某人也如此”，根据语境可知此处指生活也是这样，填So。
