解析:
【分析】
先通读短文理解每句语境,再结合空格处的语法提示(如than、in his class等比较级/最高级标志)和方框内词汇,分析所需词汇的词性、词形(比较级、最高级、名词形式等),最终确定每个空的正确词汇。
【解析】
1. 由后句“try to lose weight(减肥)”可知,Tom比同学胖或重,需用形容词比较级,故填fatter/heavier;
2. 减肥需控制饮食,修饰动词eat用“更少”,little的比较级为less,故填less;
3. 现在比之前更苗条,需用形容词比较级,slim的比较级为slimmer,故填slimmer;
4. 范围是“in his class(在班里)”,需用形容词最高级,结合前文减肥语境,填heaviest/fattest;
5. 由“likes swimming”可知,想成为“游泳者”,swim的名词形式为swimmer,故填swimmer;
6. 表示“身高”,high的名词形式为height,故填height;
7. 由“Jack is a top student”及than可知,需用形容词比较级,clever的比较级为cleverer,故填cleverer;
8. 固定搭配be ready to do sth(准备做某事),故填to offer;
9. 范围是“in his class”,需用形容词最高级,helpful的最高级为the most helpful,故填the most helpful;
10. 由“isn't good at sports”及than可知,需用副词比较级,bad的副词比较级为worse,故填worse。
