【解析】

本篇讲述在一次爬树比赛中，大卫不畏自己是孩子中最矮的，勇往直前地向上爬，不像其他孩子总向下看，担心掉下来，最后最快到达树顶，故事告诉人们生活中如果我们不回头看而是勇往直前，我们更有可能更快达到目标。

【1】句意：他们决定看看谁是第一个爬到树顶的男孩。

从文字的表层意思推断空格指看看谁是第一个爬到树顶的男孩，空格在定冠词和单数名词之间，判断填序数词；one基数词，其序数词为first，第一；故答案为first。

【2】句意：他们的母亲坐在不远处，看着她们的孩子们玩。

从文字的表层意思推断空格指母亲们在不远处看着她们的孩子们玩；child孩子，名词，根据文字表达的逻辑关系，可知their后接名词的复数形式；child的复数形式为不规则变化children；故答案为children。

【3】句意：他是群里个子最矮的孩子。

空格在定冠词和单数名词之间，判断填形容词最高级；根据下文“Nobody thought that he would win the competition”推断空格指他是最矮的孩子，没人觉得他会赢；short的最高级为规则变化，在词尾+est；故答案为shortest。

【4】句意：没人想到他会赢得比赛。

空格在助动词后面，判断填动词原形；根据上文“He was the shortest child in the group”推断空格指没人想到他会赢得比赛；win获胜，动词；故答案为win。

【5】句意：所有的男孩都尽力爬得尽可能高。

从文字的表层意思推断空格指尽力爬；try one’s best to do sth尽力做某事；讲述发生过的事情，用一般过去时；try的一般过去式以辅音+y为结尾，要改y为i，再+ed；故答案为tried。

【6】句意：他们都比大卫先爬到树的一半高，但最后他最快到达树顶。

空格在句尾，判断是句子的状语；根据下文“David, how did you manage to reach the top of the tree so quickly?”推断空格指大卫最后最快到达树顶；in the end 最后；故答案为end。

【7】句意：他母亲以他的儿子为荣。

空格在be动词后面，判断填形容词；由上文可知大卫是最矮的、最后最快到达树顶，推断他妈妈为他感到骄傲；故答案为proud。

【8】句意：大卫，你怎么这么快就爬到了树顶。

由上文可知大卫是最矮的、最后最快到达树顶，推断下文指妈妈好奇地问儿子为什么可以爬得那么快；quick快的，形容词，其副词形式为quickly，快地；故答案为quickly。

【9】句意：当他们意识到自己有多高的时候，他们会害怕，担心掉下来。

从文字的表层意思推断空格指爬得高担心会掉下来；fall down掉下，空格在介词后面，判断填动名词；fall的动名词形式为规则变化,在词尾+ing；故答案为falling。

【10】句意：当我看到我有多靠近，我爬得越来越高，直到我到达山顶。

从文字的表层意思推断空格指一直往上爬，爬到树顶；空格在2个单句之间，判断填连词，until直到……，引导时间状语从句；故答案为until。
