【分析】
首先通读全文，理解文章讲述海伦牙疼看牙医的故事。然后逐个分析每个空的语境：
1. 前文提到牙疼，所以海伦在课堂上的反应应该是哭，结合给出词汇选cried；
2. 老师看到她哭，会询问她怎么了，所以用asked；
3. 老师让她告诉妈妈这件事，这里用it指代牙疼这件事；
4. 妈妈带她去看牙医，take sb. to是固定搭配，过去式为took；
5. 表示“几小时后”，用later；
6. 牙医检查后说牙齿情况很糟糕，用bad；
7. “拔出牙齿”用固定短语pull out；
8. 新牙齿会和其他牙齿一样好，the others指代其他牙齿；
9. 老师问她牙齿还疼吗，still表示“还，仍然”；
10. 海伦说牙医把牙扔了，现在完成时has后接过去分词thrown。
通过结合语境、固定搭配和语法知识，就能确定每个空的答案。
【解析】
1. 根据前文“one of her teeth began to hurt”，牙疼会让海伦难受哭泣，故填cried；
2. 老师看到海伦的状态，亲切询问她的情况，故填asked；
3. 此处用it指代前文提到的“牙齿疼这件事”，故填it；
4. “take sb. to+地点”表示带某人去某地，文章是过去时态，take的过去式为took，故填took；
5. “a few hours later”是固定表达，意为“几小时后”，故填later；
6. 牙医检查后判定牙齿情况不好，故填bad；
7. “pull out”是固定短语，意为“拔出”，符合拔牙的语境，故填out；
8. “the others”指代海伦其他的牙齿，符合“新牙齿会和其他牙齿一样好”的语境，故填the others；
9. still意为“还，仍然”，用于询问牙齿是否还疼，符合语境，故填still；
10. 句子是现在完成时，结构为“have/has+过去分词”，throw的过去分词是thrown，符合“牙医把牙扔了”的语境，故填thrown。
