【解析】

本文屬于哲理短文。由一群孩子爬樹來說明一個(gè)道理：在生活中，如果我們不回頭就繼續(xù)前進(jìn)，我們更有可能達(dá)到我們的目標(biāo)。

【1】句意：他們決定看看誰能先爬到樹頂。由語境和所給單詞的意思可知，選擇first；get to the top of the tree first：第一個(gè)到樹頂；語境是：他們決定看看第一個(gè)到樹頂?shù)娜耸钦l。故答案為：first。

【2】句意：其中有一個(gè)爬樹者名叫大衛(wèi)的8歲男孩。由語境和所給單詞的意思可知，選擇climb；分析句子One of the ____2____ was an 8-year-old boy named David. 的結(jié)構(gòu)可知，本題缺少主語，因此應(yīng)該用climb的名詞形式climber；又因?yàn)?/span>One of“其中之一”，后跟可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)，故答案為：climbers。

【3】句意：他是這群孩子中最矮的一個(gè)。由語境和所給單詞的意思可知，選擇short；根據(jù)in the group和空前面的定冠詞the可知，本題應(yīng)該填形容詞的最高級(jí)，short的最高級(jí)為shortest。故答案為：shortest。

【4】句意：沒人認(rèn)為他會(huì)贏得比賽。由語境和所給單詞的意思可知，選擇win；由would可知，would為情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，后跟動(dòng)詞原形。故答案為：win。

【5】句意：所有的男孩都盡力爬到最高處。由語境和所給單詞的意思可知，選擇try；本題考查try one’s best to do sth. 盡力做某事。根據(jù)短文的句子Then the game started. 可知，本文的時(shí)態(tài)為一般過去時(shí)，所以該空的時(shí)態(tài)也用一般過去時(shí)，try的過去式為tried。所以答案為：tried。

【6】句意：他們都比大衛(wèi)先爬到樹的一半，但最后他最快到達(dá)了樹頂。由語境和所給單詞的意思可知，選擇end；本題考查in the end“最后；終于”的意思。語境是：大衛(wèi)最后最快到達(dá)了樹頂。所以答案為：end。

【7】句意：他母親感到很驕傲。根據(jù)They all made it halfway up the tree before David did, but he reached the top of the tree fastest in the ____6____. 可知，大衛(wèi)贏得了比賽，因此他的母親應(yīng)該感到很驕傲。由所給單詞的意思可知，應(yīng)該選擇proud；be proud of“對……感到驕傲”。故答案為：proud。

【8】句意：她問他：“大衛(wèi)，你怎么設(shè)法這么快就爬到樹頂了呢？”由語境和所給單詞的意思可知，選擇quick；我們知道reach the top of the tree中的reach是動(dòng)詞，因此后面應(yīng)該用副詞來修飾，quick的副詞為quickly，故答案為：quickly。

【9】句意：當(dāng)他們意識(shí)到自己有多高時(shí)，他們害怕，害怕掉下來。由語境和所給單詞的意思可知，選擇realize；由空前面的came to可知，came to后跟動(dòng)詞原形，come to realize“逐漸意識(shí)到”的意思。(當(dāng)come to 后面接“認(rèn)知、感知類”動(dòng)詞時(shí)，如：know, understand, realize, see 等，它表示“開始、漸變”之意。) 故答案為：realize。

【10】句意：當(dāng)我看到自己離他們有多近時(shí)，我不斷地往上爬，直到到達(dá)樹頂。由語境和所給單詞的意思可知，選擇until；本題考查until的用法。until作連詞用時(shí)，后面接時(shí)間狀語從句。句子I reached the top.是一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語從句，因此用連詞until引導(dǎo)。故答案為：until。
