【分析】
解答这类题需先通读全文,理解短文语境和逻辑关系,再结合每个空格的首字母提示,分析所需单词的词性、词义,同时注意语法规则(如动词形式、形容词比较级最高级等)和固定搭配,逐一确定每个空的正确单词。
【解析】
1. 固定句型“It takes sb +时间+to do sth”表示“做某事花费某人多少时间”,结合首字母g,此处填get,构成“get to school(到校)”。

4. 句中出现than,需用形容词比较级修饰名词attention,结合首字母m,填more,构成固定搭配“pay more attention to(更关注)”。
5. 结合语境“老师让她少在……学习”,首字母c,填classroom,构成“in the classroom(在教室)”。
6. 结合“keep healthy(保持健康)”,首字母e,填exercise,意为“锻炼”。
7. 前半句“她总是在运动会获胜”和后半句“她跳得最高”是因果关系,首字母b,填because引导原因状语从句。
