【解析】

试题分析：你知道不能给小狗吃巧克力吗？你知道猫有九条命吗？你知道地球上最大的动物是什么吗？你知道蟑螂没有头也可以活很多天吗？这篇短文中作者给我们讲述了一些很令人惊讶的事实。

1.根据短文的开头The world we live in is full of amazing things. Do you know the following things?可知，在这篇短文中，作者要告诉我们一些令人惊讶的事情，故这里填amazing。

2.】根据短文中的第二行中Chocolate tastes nice可知，作者告诉我们巧克力是非常美味的，故这里应该填Chocolate。

3.】根据短文中Chocolate tastes nice but it may make a little dog die.可知，巧克力虽然好吃，但是我们不能给小狗吃巧克力，否则可能会使小狗死亡。故这里应该填dogs。

4.】根据短文的第三行中but a snail (蜗牛) may sleep for three years.可知，蜗牛可能能睡三年。由此可知这里填years。

5.】根据短文的第四行中Our ears and nose become bigger when we grow up but eyes keep the same after a person is born.可知，当我们长大的时候我们的耳朵和鼻子都会变大，但是眼睛从出生以后就一直不会变。change 改变。

6.】根据短文中You may think a bear walks slowly. In fact, it can run as fast as a horse.可知，我们可能以为熊走路很慢，其实它跑得能像一匹马那么快。由此可知填fast。

7.】根据短文中Cats won’t die if they fall off very high places because they can turn themselves up the right way.可知，当猫从很高的地方摔下来的时候，他们不会死。after falling off是连词后加现在分词形式。

8.】根据短文中The largest animal on the earth is the blue whale (鲸). It weighs about 80 tons (吨)可知，地球上最大的动物是蓝鲸，他们的重量可达80吨。weight 名词，重量。

9.】根据短文中But a cockroach (蟑螂) can live for nine or ten days when they have no head可知，蟑螂没有头也能活九到十天。without 没有。

10.】根据短文中Not all birds can fly可知，不是所有的鸟都会飞，因此大多数的鸟会飞，也有一些鸟不会飞。can’t 不会。
