【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了风与太阳争吵的故事。他们都认为自己比别人强。于是，他们想看看谁能让那个人摘下帽子、脱掉大衣。风先开始吹，他越使劲吹，那个人越紧抓着帽子和大衣。然后，太阳开始照耀着那个人，不久那个人就摘下帽子，脱掉大衣。

1.根据And the wind said he was stronger than the sun.可知太阳说自己比风强壮，故此处用stronger。句意：太阳说他比风更强壮。

2.with的宾语复合结构：with+名词+副词, 作定语修饰a man，故此处用with。句意：正在那时他们看见一个男人在下面走，带着一顶帽子，穿着一件大衣。

3.take off“摘下、脱掉”make sb do sth“让某人做某事”，故此处用动词原形take。句意：太阳说，“让我们看看谁能使这个人摘下帽子，脱掉大衣。”

4.根据介词than可知此处用比较级，故在quickly前加more。句意：如果你能做得比我更快，那么你就是更强的。

5.根据So the wind began to blow. 可知风开始吹，故他先开始，用序数词first。句意：我会先试试。

6.the +形容词的比较级， the+形容词的比较级“越……，越……”，结合句意，风使劲的吹，故此处用harder。句意：但是他越使劲吹，那个人把帽子和大衣抓得越紧。

7.根据The wind could not make him take them off.可知风没有使他脱下帽子和大衣，因此他抓着大衣和帽子，故此处为held。句意：但是他越使劲吹，那个人把帽子和大衣抓得越紧。

8.根据It shone quietly.可知太阳照耀着，因此他在尝试去做，故用tried。句意：然后太阳试了试。

9.根据It shone quietly.可知太阳在照耀这那个人，根据begin to do sth“开始做某事”，故此处用动词原形 shine。句意：太阳开始照耀得更加明亮。

10. began to take off his shirt可知太阳照得那个人开始脱衬衫，因此风说这已经足够让人脱下衣服，故用enough。句意：那就够了，你比我强。
