答案与解析】
本文论述了非洲灰色鹦鹉被一些科学家认为是最聪明的动物。
1. among。表示最高级的比较范围，意为“在……中”，一般用of或among, 等介词，此处已有首字母a，所以是among。
2. think。根据前面的提问有首字母t可知是think，表示“有的科学家认为最聪明的动物应当是Alex”。
3. talk。根据下文对他会讲会的描述和空格后的with，可知是talk with sb(同……谈话)。
4. wants。根据前面的come here及后文的句式搭配可知是want sb to do sth(想要某人做某事)。
5. child。根据后面的两叁岁可知是小孩。
6. sounds。由前文的talk和后文的words可知是重复教他讲话的声音。
7. understands。从后文的描述可知，他不但会重复教他的声音而且还明白其意思。
8. different。根据things是复数及首字母的提示可知是指不同的(different) 事物。
9. way。根据句意“他的思维方式是否与的思维方式一样呢？”。搭配：in the way用这种方式。
10. question。上文“Is the parrot…?”提出的是一个问题
根据短文内容在空格处填入一个适当的单词，使短文的意思完整，需填单词的第一个字母已经给出。

【答案与解析】
本文介绍了发e-mail的优点。
1. With。把问题和答语结合起来考虑可知，要表达的是“有了e-mail，就可以做得到这点了”。此处介词with意为“有”。
2. computer。能够发e-mail的当然是电脑了。
3. slower。根据下文用e-mail可以在几秒钟内就可将信息可发往世界各地，可见邮局邮寄比发email要慢得多。
4. its。指e-mail所邮件所携带的信息。
5. saves。又快又不用贴邮票当然是节省时间和金钱了。
6. when。由下文24小时都可发，可见无论何时发都没关系。
7. night。24小时当然包括白天和黑夜。
8. there。由后文可知，无论你发给朋友或者朋友发给你，你或他可以在别的地方，而不必在电脑旁。
9. doesn’t 由后文可知，是没有关系。另外，matter用作动词时，一般只用于疑问句或者否定句，此处不是疑问句，那就应是否定句了。
10. film。由at the cinema可知是在看电影了。
