【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了醫(yī)生們對70歲高齡Herpin進行生活觀察，試圖找出他不睡覺的原因，結(jié)果卻是令人更加迷惑。

【1】句意：他或她需要睡眠來保持活力。

根據(jù)句意表示“有活力的”，stay后跟形容詞alive。故答案填alive.

【2】句意：有人說Herpin一生中從不睡覺。

根據(jù)下文“The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness.”可知，這個人從不睡覺。從不never。故答案填never.

【3】句意：他們認(rèn)為他有時肯定會有睡意的。

根據(jù)句意表示“睡眠”，名詞sleep，不可數(shù)名詞。故答案填sleep.

【4】句意：所以他們和他呆在一起而且觀察他的一舉一動。

根據(jù)句意表示“觀察”，watch；and連接動詞形式一致，stayed with是過去式，所以watch也要用過去式。故答案填watched.

【5】句意：但是，結(jié)果卻是很令人吃驚。

根據(jù)下文“Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw him sleeping.”雖然觀察了很久，但是他從不睡覺，說明結(jié)果很讓人吃驚。the result was very后跟形容詞修飾事物要用ing形式。故答案填surprising.

【6】句意：事實上，Herpin甚至沒有一張床。

根據(jù)下文“The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was s__________7__________ in a comfortable chair”他只有一把椅子�？芍�，是床bed，不定冠詞a后跟名詞原形。故答案填bed.

【7】句意：有時Herpin得到的休息就是坐在一張舒服的椅子上然后讀報紙。

根據(jù)句意表示“坐在sit”；根據(jù)“and reading newspapers”， and連接動詞形式一致，坐要用動詞ing形式。故答案填sitting.

【8】句意：所以他們問了他一些問題。

根據(jù)下文“They found only on e answer”可知是問題；many后跟可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式，question要用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故答案填questions.

【9】句意：他們發(fā)現(xiàn)只有一個答案能解釋他的情況。

根據(jù)句意表示“解釋explain”，情態(tài)動詞might后跟動詞原形。故答案填explain.

【10】句意：結(jié)果，他早出生幾天。

根據(jù)上文“His mother had been injured several days before he was born.”媽媽在他出生前就受傷了，可知他提前幾天出生了。early的比較級表示“更早的earlier”。故答案填earlier.
