【分析】
做这类选词填空题，首先第一步要通读整篇短文，理清故事的整体脉络：本文讲述了总吵架的两姐妹Cathy和Nancy，在爸爸的约定下尝试和平相处，一起划船时遭遇大风遇险，最终互相扶持上岸的小故事。第二步先对照方框给出的10个备选词，优先结合学过的固定搭配锁定确定的答案，再结合时态、主谓一致、比较级等语法规则，对单词做正确的形式变形，最后把填完的短文通读一遍，验证逻辑通顺、没有重复用词即可。
【解析】
1. 空：固定搭配get on well表示“相处融洽”，seem to do sth结构后接动词原形，因此填get。
2. 空：前文提到两姐妹正在争吵，固定结构stop doing sth意为“停止正在做的事”，此处表示爸爸让她们停止争吵打斗，fight要变为动名词形式，填fighting。
3. 空：句意为“你们今天下午可以做任何你们想做的事”，whatever引导宾语从句作do的宾语，符合语境，直接填whatever。
4. 空：前文女孩们回应“好的”，这个动作发生在过去，要用一般过去时，agree的过去式是agreed。
5. 空：句意为Nancy向Cathy展示如何用桨划船，“疑问词how+不定式”结构作show的宾语，填how。
6. 空：句意为乌云在天空聚集，后文的be动词是were，说明主语要用复数形式，cloud的复数是clouds。
7. 空：后文出现than before表示比较，much可以修饰比较级，此处表示风比之前吹得猛烈得多，strong的比较级是stronger。
8. 空：前文提到风变大、天气骤变，Cathy此时非常紧张，be动词后接形容词作表语，填nervous。
9. 空：句意为Cathy很害怕，但是Nancy不断鼓励她，故事发生在过去，要用一般过去时，encourage的过去式是encouraged。
10. 空：空前有数词ten，后面要接可数名词复数，minute的复数形式是minutes，ten minutes later表示十分钟之后。
【答案】
1. get 2. fighting 3. whatever 4. agreed 5. how 6. clouds 7. stronger 8. nervous 9. encouraged 10. minutes
