【解析】

这是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个暖心的故事：一个小男孩由于生病，必须在家中静养且其他孩子被禁止靠近他，十分孤独无聊的他只能望向窗外发呆，一天他忽然发现窗外各种奇怪的动物轮番登场，疑惑不解的他在康复回到学校后和他最好的朋友讲了这件事，最终意外发现原来是他的朋友为逗他开心，穿着各种奇装异服假扮动物在窗外“表演”。

1.考查非谓语动词。句意：其他孩子不被允许接近他。“不被允许做某事”使用搭配be not allowed to do，故此处填不定式to come。

2.考查定语从句关系代词。句意：除了看窗外，他并没有什么可以做的。much作先行词，后接定语从句，又因为much/many后不能用which作关系代词，故正确答案为that。

3.考查-ed形容词与-ing形容词辨析。句意：小男孩非常惊讶。此处表达小男孩个人的心情状态，排除amazing（令人惊讶的），使用“过去分词作形容词”，故填amazed（感到惊讶的）。

4.考查冠词。句意：他看见一只猴子。monkey在文中第一次出现，应使用不定冠词，故填a。

5.考查反身代词。句意：一开始小男孩问他自己那可能是什么。ask后接宾格，男孩一个人孤独地待在房间里，he指的是他自己，故填反身代词himself。

6.考查介词。句意：随着越来越多稀奇古怪、十分疯狂的（动物）形象在窗外出现，他大笑起来，并发现很难停下。with可表示伴随，在主句之前引导伴随状语，译为“随着……”，故填with。

7.考查固定词组，句意同上。burst out doing sth.为固定搭配，常用表达有burst out laughing/crying，故填现在分词laughing。

8.考查名词单复数形式。句意：他告诉他的朋友们（生病期间）所见到的所有奇怪的事物。小男孩在学校里有多个同学、朋友，故填复数形式friends。

9.考查时态。句意：正当他和最好的朋友谈论时，他看到有什么东西从他朋友书包里伸了出来。文章讲述的是过去的故事，全文时态一致，使用了过去时；此处有提示词while，且表达的内容是“正谈论”，应使用进行时。综上，填空处应用过去进行时，答案为was talking。

10.考查动词与介词的固定搭配。句意：书包里面，尽是那些他最好的朋友用来（假扮动物）逗他（小男孩）开心的奇装异服。cheer up为固定短语，意思是“使……开心，使……振作起来”，故填up。
