"There might be something wrong with his mind, and he 【2】 (not know) he's able to speak," one doctor said.

"But he can read and write," said Mr. Green. "We 【3】 (write) him notes, telling him that he can speak."

Mr. and Mrs. Green 【7】 ( excite) . "You spoke! You spoke!" they cried, "Why have you waited so long to speak?'

【解析】

本文讲述了里奥一直不会讲话，虽然经过许多医生的检查，但仍没有找到原因，在有一天吃饭的时候，里奥突然开口讲话。

【1】句意：在里奥六岁的时候，镇上最好的医生仔细检查了他，但是没有发现任何问题。

examine是动词，意为“检查”；根据句中when Leo was six years old可知，句中时态为一般过去时，所以此处应使用动词examine的过去式。故填examined。

【2】句意：他可能脑子有问题，并且他不知道自己能说话。

根据句中的and以及not know可知，前后两个分句是并列关系，所以此处是“并且他不知道自己会说话”；句中he是第三人称单数形式，而且句中的时态是一般现在时，所以否定形式为he doesn’t know。故填doesn’t know。

【3】句意：我们给他写了便条，告诉他可以说话。

write是动词，意为“写”；根据前一句But he can read and write.可知，此处是“格林夫妇已经通过写便条的方式让他们的儿子直到自己会说话”，所以此处时态用现在完成时。故填have written。

【4】句意：也许有一天他能说话。

根据句中some day可知，句中的时态为一般将来时，其结构为will+do；be是动词原形，所以此处是will be。故填will be。

【5】句意：后来有一天，里奥正在和他的父母吃饭。

have是动词，意为“拥有，吃（饭）”；根据下文Without any warning, he looked up from his meal and said, "Pass me the salt, please"可知，此处是“在他们正在吃饭的时候，里奥开口说话了”，所以时态使用过去进行时，其结构为was/were+doning；根据句中主语是Leo，所以be动词用was，have的动名词形式为having。故填was having。

【6】句意：请把盐递给我。

pass是动词，意为“传递”；本句是祈使句，所以此处用动词原形并放在句首，即Pass me the salt.故填Pass。

【7】句意：格林夫妇很激动。

excite是动词，意为“激动”；根据下文"You spoke! You spoke!" they cried.可知，此处是格林夫妇很激动；excited是excite的形容词形式，意为“激动的”，主语是Mr. and Mrs. Green，时态是一般过去时，所以此处是Mr. and Mrs. Green were excited.故填were excited。
