【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了风和太阳之间的争吵，看谁更强一些，太阳说看谁让那个人先脱下衣服和摘下帽子，谁就更强。

1.1】通过阅读第一自然段中的The sun said, “Let’s see who can make the man take off his hat and coat. If you can do that more quickly than I, then you are the stronger.”可知，这就是答案。

2.2】翻译时应注意the harder，the tighter是“the+比较级，the +比较级”的形式，表示“越……，就越……”。

3.3】通过wiped(擦) his forehead可知，这个人已经出汗了，所以前面应该是脱掉帽子。故填took off。

4.4】本句的意思是“如果你能比我让这个人脱的更快。”本题的答案在第一自然段的最后一句。

5.5】通过阅读可知，本文就是讲述了太阳和风因争吵而进行的比赛。所以本题的答案就是One day the sun and the wind had a quarrel(争吵)。
