【分析】
首先通读全文可知这是一篇讲述蚂蚁和鸽子互相帮助的寓言小故事，整体叙事基调为一般过去时。解题时可以先结合上下文语义，逐一对应考点推导答案：1空回忆表示“寻找”的固定搭配；2空判断此处是表目的的非谓语结构；3空结合全文过去的时态写出动词过去式；4空判断there be结构后作后置定语的非谓语形式；5空明确修饰动词需要用副词；6空判断此处是特指前文提到的树叶，用定冠词；7空判断两个顺承动作之间需要并列连词；8空回忆固定搭配have no idea；9空明确动词后接人称代词要用宾格；10空结合并列谓语的时态一致规则写出动词过去式，最后通读检查所有答案是否符合语义和语法规则即可。
【解析】
1. 考查固定搭配，search for是固定短语，意为“寻找”，此处表示蚂蚁在寻找水，故填for。
2. 考查非谓语动词，此处用不定式作目的状语，表示“为了喝到水”，是蚂蚁爬上小岩石的目的，句首首字母需大写，故填To drink。
3. 考查动词时态，全文叙述过去发生的事件，用一般过去时，try的过去式为tried，故填tried。
4. 考查非谓语动词，现在分词作后置定语修饰dove，dove和sit是主动关系，表示正坐在树枝上的鸽子，故填sitting。
5. 考查词性转换，空格处修饰动词picked，需要使用副词，形容词quick的副词形式是quickly，故填quickly。
6. 考查冠词，此处特指前文鸽子扔到水里的那片树叶，属于特指，要用定冠词the，故填the。
7. 考查连词，空格前后的“抬头看向大树”和“感谢鸽子”是两个顺承的并列动作，用并列连词and连接，故填and。
8. 考查固定搭配，have no idea是固定表达，意为“不知道、毫无察觉”，故填idea。
9. 考查人称代词，空格处作动词bit的宾语，要使用人称代词的宾格形式，he的宾格是him，故填him。
10. 考查动词时态，并列连词and连接两个并列谓语，前面的noticed是一般过去时，因此fly也要使用过去式flew，故填flew。
【答案】
1. for 2. To drink 3. tried 4. sitting 5. quickly
6. the 7. and 8. idea 9. him 10. flew
【知识点】
固定短语，词类转换，动词时态
【点评】
本题是故事类基础语法填空题，考点覆盖初中英语核心基础语法点，整体难度偏低，学生解题时先把握全文的过去时叙事基调，结合固定搭配和上下文逻辑即可顺利推导答案，需要注意区分非谓语的不同用法，做完后通读全文验证语义通顺度可以有效避免失误。
