【分析】
首先明确方框内单词的词义与词性：pleasant（形容词，令人愉快的）、slim（形容词，苗条的）、average（形容词，平均的）、fact（名词，事实）、population（名词，人口）。解题思路为：通读每个句子，分析句子缺少的成分（词性），结合词义选择合适的词，再根据语法规则调整词的形式（如名词单复数）。
1. 空格修饰名词temperature，需用形容词，结合词义选average；
2. 空格修饰名词smile，需用形容词，结合词义选pleasant；
3. 空格作主语，结合“this city”和“goes to work”的语境，选名词population；
4. a lot of后需接可数名词复数，fact的复数为facts，符合语境；
5. keep后接形容词表状态，选形容词slim。
【解析】
1. 空格修饰名词temperature，需用形容词，average作形容词意为“平均的”，符合“平均温度”的语境，故填average；
2. 空格修饰名词smile，需用形容词，pleasant作形容词意为“令人愉快的”，符合“令人愉快的微笑”的语境，故填pleasant；
3. 空格作主语，结合“this city”和“goes to work”，此处指城市的人口，population为集合名词，用原形即可，故填population；
4. a lot of后接可数名词复数，fact是可数名词，此处表示“很多事实”，需用复数形式facts，故填facts；
5. keep后接形容词表示保持某种状态，slim作形容词意为“苗条的”，符合“保持苗条”的语境，故填slim。
【答案】
1. average
2. pleasant
3. population
4. facts
5. slim
【知识点】

【解析】
1. 原级比较结构为“as + 副词原级 + as”，work是动词，需用副词hard修饰，故填as hard as。
2. 两者间比较用“比较级 + than”，outgoing是多音节形容词，比较级为more outgoing，故填more outgoing than。
3. 修饰动词sang需用副词well，其比较级为better，两者间比较搭配than，故填better than。
4. 表示人口的“多”用形容词large，两者比较用比较级larger；为避免重复，用that指代前文的population，故填population; larger than that。
