试题分析：本文叙述了这三个孩子为了炫耀自己的家庭是多么好，别人都比不过他，三者中谁最后说的肯定比前面说的情况要好，他们互相攀比。提醒人们孩子的这种攀比心理是不可取的。
小题1:考查连词。根据 bigger可知这是在作比较，故用 than.
小题2:考查定语从句。这里是定语从句，who在从句中作主语。
小题3:考查让步状语从句。whatever引导的是让步状语从句。
小题4:考查连词。这里是when引导的时间状语从句。
小题5:考查冠词。表示一周两次应该是twice a week,a表示每一。
小题6:考查代词。轮到某人了用one’s turn ,故用his.
小题7:考查固定短语。in silence沉默地,是固定短语。
小题8:考查连词。这里both 与and连用表示两者都。
小题9:考查动词时态。根据上文他们看到Gavin不说话认为他们已经打败了Gavin，故用 had beaten.
小题10:考查连词。这里是so that 如此……以致于,是固定搭配，故用so.
点评：任务型阅读虽然有考查学生的单词拼写能力，但是和“单词拼写”以及“对话填空”有着本质的区别。任务型阅读着重考的是语篇分析能力，对学生能力的考查更全面，要求也更高，包括考查学生的思维能力、分析能力、词汇能力以及其他的语言深层挖掘能力等。
