“Jim,” said Silver, “promise that you won't try to escape.” I agreed. Silver asked the doctor to climb outside the fort. He then took me down to talk with the doctor from the fence and left us 3. a.
“Why did you leave, Jim?” the doctor asked me and I told him about the Hispaniola.
“You always save us, Jim, and you 4. e found Ben Gunn. Jump over the fence and 5. r away with me,” he begged.
“I can't. I promised,” I said 6. s.
Then the doctor called Long John Silver over. “I'll give you some 7. a,” he said. “Don't hurry to look for the treasure.”
“But the only way to save my life and the boy's is by looking for the 8. t.”
“In that case, be ready for problems when you find it,” said Dr Livesey. “Keep Jim 9. c beside you, and when you need help, shout.” He then shook hands with me 10. t the fort fence. He nodded to Silver and went quickly into the woods.

1. little 由下文的the little boy可判断，这里填写little。
2. treated 由语境可知，这位医生要给生病的海盗治病。所填写词作谓语，又是一般过去时，故填写treated。
3. alone 由上下文内容及语境可知，Silver要求医生爬到堡垒外面，然后，他把“我”带下来，把“我们”单独留下谈话。
4. even 所填写词修饰动词found，用副词。由句意及首字母可知填写even。
5. run run away逃跑。所填写词与Jump并列，故用原形run。
6. seriously 所填写词修饰动词said，用副词。由句意及首字母可知用seriously。
7. advice 由下文中“Don't hurry to look for the treasure.”可知，这是表示建议的句型。再由首字母可知，这里填写advice。
8. treasure 由上文的look for the treasure及首字母可知，这里填写treasure。
9. close 由语境及be ready for problems when you find it可知，医生担心找到宝藏时会有麻烦，于是让Jim紧跟在Silver身边。由首字母可知填写close。
10. through 他们隔着堡垒栅栏握手。through通过，符合句意。

【分析】
做首字母短文填空时，需先通读全文，把握短文语境（节选自《金银岛》的记叙文），再针对每个空，结合首字母提示、上下文逻辑、语法规则（如时态、词性、固定搭配）来确定单词。例如第1空，由下文“the little boy”可关联到首字母l的单词；第2空根据语境和一般过去时态确定动词形式，以此类推，逐步完成填空。
【解析】
1. little：由下文“the little boy”的提示，结合首字母l，确定填little；
2. treated：语境为医生给生病的海盗治病，时态为一般过去时，结合首字母t，填treated；
3. alone：根据上下文，Silver将“我”和医生单独留下谈话，结合首字母a，填alone；
4. even：修饰动词found，表“甚至”，结合首字母e，填even；
5. run：固定搭配run away（逃跑），与Jump并列需用动词原形，结合首字母r，填run；
6. seriously：修饰动词said，表“严肃地”，结合首字母s，填seriously；
7. advice：由下文“Don't hurry to look for the treasure”可知是建议内容，结合首字母a，填advice；

9. close：语境为让Jim紧跟在Silver身边，结合首字母c，填close；
