2. sports.从空格前后的单词来看只有sports最好，“普通的运动鞋”。

1. kind.无论从与a…of…的搭配来看还是从上下文的意思来看，都只有kind才适合。

10. waiter.因为是the waiter回答的，显然是问the waiter.

2) 用方框中所给词的适当形式填空，使短文正确、通顺。每词限填一次。

　　 「答案与解析」

　　 本文讲述的是中学生对Heelys(暴走鞋)这种特别的运动鞋的不同看法及理由，以及医生的看法。

9. Finally.有一个逗号可知应填副词。

8. him.指乐于做事又不生气的当然是指那位服务员，在asked后作宾语，所以用he的宾格形式him.

7. helpful.能与kind并列，且根据上下文的意思可知用helpful(乐于助人的)。

6. nearly.因为for half an hour意思已经完整了，只能填表示约数的nearly(差不多) 了。

5. to turn.上文hot时是turn on，这次cold当然就是to turn off了，又因为ask sb to do sth(叫某人做某事)，所以填to turn off.

4. felt.句中无谓语动词，所以应选动词；hot是形容词，不是定语就一定是在系动词后作表语。方框中能作系动词的有feel(感到) 和turn(变成)，主语是人，当然是“感到”热，另外，全文用的都是过去式，所以填feel的过去式felt.

3. First.由后文的Then可知。First…Then…先……然后……。
