Answer 1

【小題1】listening
【小題1】improve
【小題1】used
【小題1】wear
【小題1】strict

解析1. listening 此處by是個介詞，故后面用ing形式，結合句子意思是講通過聽（listen to）磁帶來學習英語，故用listening。
2. improve 此題考查情態動詞can的用法，其后接動詞原形，這里可練習對話可以提高英語的口語技能，故用improve。
3. used 此處是固定搭配, used to be 表示過去是…，這里是說她過去是矮的并且文靜的。
4. wear 也是固定搭配，wear uniform表示穿制服，在學校就是穿校服。因為前面有must，故用原形wear,情態動詞后用原形。
5. strict 這里說的是學校的規定的嚴格，從上文對話也可看出來。
