【分析】
本题为英语语法选择题，需结合上下文语境、词性词义、语法规则（如比较级、动词形式、名词单复数等）逐一分析选项。解题思路：先通读全文理解大意（汤姆和杰克是同学，性格、爱好等不同但有共同点），再针对每个空的语境和语法要求，对比选项选出正确答案。
【解析】
1. 由转折词but及后文描述的性格差异可知，此处指“性格”，且be动词为are，需用复数名词，选C（personalities）；
2. 由than可知用比较级，汤姆在公共场合紧张，对应“更害羞”，shy的比较级为shyer，选B；
3. however转折，对应前文汤姆害羞，此处指杰克“更外向”，outgoing是多音节词，比较级为more outgoing，选B；
4. 此处指汤姆的“长处”，strength表示长处，单数形式符合语境，选A；
5. 情态动词can后接动词原形，选A（solve）；
6. as...as结构中用原级，修饰动词plays需用副词well，选A；
7. 由than可知用比较级，hard-working的比较级为more hard-working，选B；
