【分析】
这道题是英语阅读细节填空题，解题思路很清晰：首先先通读完整短文，梳理清楚所有动物两两之间的属性对比关系，之后逐题定位题干里的两个对比动物，回到原文找到对应的描述，直接提取或者推导对应的形容词比较级即可。比如遇到正向描述直接取原文给出的比较级，反过来的对比关系就取对应属性的反向比较级，就能快速得到答案。
【解析】
1. 定位原文鹿的台词"Giraffe is taller than me"，可知长颈鹿比鹿高，填入taller；
2. 结合第一题的对比逻辑，长颈鹿比鹿高，反过来鹿就比长颈鹿矮，填入shorter；
3. 定位原文长颈鹿的台词"Tiger is stronger than me"，可知老虎比长颈鹿强壮，填入stronger；
4. 定位原文大象的台词"Monkey is smarter than me"，可知猴子比大象聪明，填入smarter；
5. 定位原文老虎的台词"Elephant is heavier than me"，可知大象比老虎重，填入heavier；
6. 定位原文猴子的台词"Deer is cooler than me"，可知鹿比猴子酷，填入cooler。
【答案】
1. taller 2. shorter 3. stronger 4. smarter 5. heavier 6. cooler
