【解析】

文章主要讲述了作者在七年级的时候，比其他同学都高，但是他不擅长打篮球，后来在八年级时遇到一个新的教练，在教练的指导下，作者在篮球方面取得了很大的进步。

【1】句意：我比学校里的每个人都高。

根据句意理解及空格前的taller可知，这里缺的是比较级的标志词，英语中含有比较级的句子中一般会有than，表示“……比……”，所以这里应该填than，故答案为than。

【2】句意：我是世界上最差的投掷运动员。

根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“是”，英语是be动词，在句中作谓语，由前句When I started Grade 7可知，事情是发生在过去，所以这里应该用be动词的过去式，句子主语是I，所以这里应该用was，故答案为was。

【3】句意：他告诉我，因为我太高了，我的工作就是打中锋。

根据句意理解可知，I was so tall.与my job would be to play center.两句之间是因果关系，且前句表达的是原因，所以这里应该填“因为”，英语是because，故答案为because。

【4】句意：但是在几个星期之后，我投篮大概能够十投五中。

根据句意理解及前句When I first started, I got zero of ten shots I took.可知，这里表达的是“一个星期之后”，英语是after，故答案为after。

【5】句意：但我很擅长把球投进网中。

根据句意理解可知，前文已经提到作者练习投篮的情况，所以这里指的是练习投篮的那个网，所以这里应该用定冠词the，故答案为the。
