【解析】

1.句意：火势蔓延得很快。当消防队员到达那里，房子已经被大火覆盖。根据下文When the firemen went there, the house had been covered with fire.（这个句子是过去式）我们可知用过去式，spread的过去式就是它本身，故填spread。

2.句意：我买这本书花了十英镑。英镑pound是可数名词，结合句意及数词ten可知填pounds。

3.句意：你太胖了，晚饭后不应该吃那么多甜食。甜点dessert是不可数名词，结合so much(如此多)修饰不可数名词，可知填dessert。

4.句意：在中国中秋节吃月饼，这是传统。Is是be动词，后面跟形容词作表语，结合句型It’s +形容词+ to do sth.：做某事是什么样子的；故填tradition的形容词traditional。

5.句意：看那个男孩。他正在给他的父亲系领带。根据前文Look at the boy.可知是现在的时间，用现在进行时，现在进行时的构成Be+现代分词；tie的现在分词是tying，主语是he第三人称单数，be动词应用is；结合句意和语境可知填is tying。

6.句意：他一到，你就给我打电话好吗？as soon as：一…就….；主句将来时或含有情态动词的句子，从句用一般现在时，主语是he第三人称单数，谓语动词应用单数形式，结合句意和语境可知arrives。

7.句意：我觉得戴领带看起来很 酷。动词不可作主语，只能做谓语，作主语时，把动词转化成动名词（动词后面加ing），结合句意和语境可知填weearing。

8.句意：当他们在一起，他们不做作业而聊天。instead of：代替，而不是，of是介词，后面跟名词，代词或动名词等，结合句意和语境可知填doing。

9.句意：如果天气好的话，我们明天将去钓鱼。If引导的条件状语从句，主句用将来时，从句用一般现在时，结合句意和语境可知填is。

10.句意：我每天步行上班花半个小时。句型It takes sb. st./sm. to do sth.：花费某人的时间或金钱做某事；结合句意和语境可知填to walk。
