本文讲述了一群男孩在公园里打篮球。操场很好，但周围没有栅栏。一个男孩把球扔得太猛了，球像火箭一样飞过所有其他男孩的头顶，向河边的安娜飞来。安娜张开双臂，刚好及时阻止球落入河中。安娜拿着球走到他们跟前，问 她能否能加入他们。男孩们同意了，但他们不确定她是否能把球扔得更靠近篮框。安娜接过球，他们惊奇地看着球直入篮筐。他们为她大声欢呼。

【1】句意：操场很好，但周围没有栅栏。根据句意可知前后句意是转折关系，可知填连词but。

【2】句意：一个男孩把球扔得太猛了，球像火箭一样飞过所有其他男孩的头顶，继续飞行。根据后面的定语of all the other boys可知此名词使用复数，head：头，复数heads；故答案是heads。

【3】句意：突然，她听到有人大喊，转过身来，看见一个橙色的大东西朝她飞来。本文主要讲述过去发生的故事，时态主要一般过去时，可知此句时态是一般过去时。hear：听见，过去式heard；故答案是heard。

【4】句意：突然，她听到一些喊声，转过身来，看见一个橙色的大东西朝她走来。towards：向，朝，对着，介词，后面跟人称代词宾格；she：她，人称代词主格，宾格是her；故答案是her。

【5】句意：安娜张开双臂，刚好及时阻止球落入河中。本句谓语动词是opened her arms，后面跟动词不定式做目的状语；结合句意和所给词可知填to stop。

【6】句意：“你能把它拿过来吗？”一个男孩礼貌地问。本词修饰动词asked可知填副词；polite：有礼貌的，形容词；副词是politely；故答案是politely 。

【7】句意：她很紧张，因为男孩比她大。根据than（比，引出比较的第二部分对象）可知使用比较级；old：大的，老的，比较级older：更大的，更老的；故答案是older。

【8】句意：但是，他们很好，感谢她救了球。短语thank sb. for doing sth./sth.：因(做)某事感谢某人；结合句意可知答案是for。

【9】句意：男孩们同意了，但他们不确定她是否能把球扔得更靠近篮框。if/whether：是否；结合句意可知答案是if/whether。
