这是一篇毕业主题的语篇填空题，需结合语境、词汇变形、语法规则及固定搭配完成空格。解题时需先分析每个空格的句子结构、所需词性，再结合提示词或上下文逻辑确定答案：1空需名词，2空需形容词比较级，3空需冠词，4空需修饰事物的形容词，5空需主谓一致的be动词，6空需名词，7空需副词，8空需让步连词，9空需固定搭配的介词，10空需物主代词。
【解析】
1. 定冠词the后接名词，提示词begin的名词形式为beginning，意为“开始”，符合“新生活的开始”的语境，故填beginning；
2. 此处将高中生活与初中生活对比，需用形容词比较级，hard的比较级为harder，意为“更难的”，故填harder；
