【解析】

本文主要通过几个孩子比赛爬树的游戏告诉我们在生活中，如果我们继续向前看，我们就更有可能实现我们的目标。

【1】句意：好高的一棵树啊！

根据句子结构分析来看，这是一个感叹句，考查感叹词。根据感叹句的结构What＋a/an＋形容词＋名词，对照可知，这里需要填What。

【2】句意：妈妈们坐在不远处，看着孩子们玩耍。

考查动词。根据前面的were doing和and可知，这里需要填doing形式，因此填入looking。

【3】句意：其中一个攀爬者是一个8岁的男孩，名叫大卫。

考查名词。根据one of+形容词最高级+名词复数，所以把climber变成复数climbers。

【4】句意：他是这群中最矮的孩子。

考查最高级。根据句意理解可知，这里表示在这群孩子里，有范围表示最高级，他是最矮的，所以应该填short的最高级shortest。

【5】句意：所有的男孩都尽力爬到尽可能高的地方。

考查代词。根据all of the boys和词组try one’s best to do sth.可知，one's应该用形容词性物主代词代替，应填入their。

【6】句意：虽然他们都比大卫先爬到树的一半。

考查连词。根据空格句的前半句和后半句的语义是相反的，因此填入although表示尽管。

【7】句意：他妈妈看到这个很高兴。

考查动词不定式。根据be glad to do sth.可知，这里需要填to do形式，所以填to see。

【8】句意：你怎么这么快就爬到树顶了？

考查副词。根据句意可知空格处是修饰reach，修饰动词应该用副词，所以应该把形容词变成副词形式，因此填入quickly。

【9】句意：其他的孩子爬的时候一直往下看。

考查动词时态。根据句中as they climbed可知应该用过去时，所以填keep的过去式kept。

【10】句意：如果我们继续向前看，我们更有可能实现我们的目标。

考查介词。根据词组keep going forward to doing sth.继续做某事可知填入to。
