李明在父亲的帮助下，从一个不会说话的孩子变成一个会游泳并且能够跟同学自由交流的孩子。
1. cities 考查名词单复数。city 是可数名词；根据空前 many 可知，此处应用其复数形式 cities。
2. doctors' 考查名词单复数和名词所有格。李明的父亲带他去一些大城市看医生，在医生的帮助下，小李明开始说一些简单的词语，此处需要用名词所有格来修饰名词 help；结合 see doctors 可知，此处应填 doctors'。
3. spent 考查时态。根据 gave up his work 可知，此处用的是一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式，故填 spent。
4. with 考查介词。根据句意理解可知，李明的父亲每天待在家里和李明说话，一起锻炼。with 表示“和……一起”，符合语境。
5. practice 考查名词。句意：在不到十个月的练习后，李明因为游泳能说更多话了。根据空前的名词所有格可知，空处应填名词，故填不可数名词 practice。
6. the 考查冠词。此处特指在学校，用定冠词 the。
7. teaches 考查时态和主谓一致。根据上下文可知，此处应用一般现在时，主语 His father 是第三人称单数，谓语动词也需要用第三人称单数形式，故填 teaches。
8. easily 考查副词。此处空格前的 do many things 是动词短语，需要用副词来修饰，故此处应填 easy 的副词形式 easily。
9. and 考查连词。句意：他可以跟其他学生自由交谈，他们也能很好地理解他。根据句意可知，前后部分是并列关系，故此处应填连词 and。
10. to keep 考查动词不定式。句意：他每天锻炼身体，吃健康的食物来保持健康。根据句意可知，此处需要动词不定式来表示目的，故此处应该填动词不定式 to keep。
