29、Jimmy之间为主动关系，应用现在分词作伴随状语。故答案为taking。5tries解析：考查动词的时态。根据前半句的shows可知此处是并列的谓语动词，应该用一般现在时态，故答案为tries。6being_harmed解析：考查固定搭配。protect.from doing sth.保护免遭；再根据句子主语和harm之间是被动关系，所以这里用动名词的被动式，故答案为being harmed。7did解析：考查替代和时态。句意：他鼓励汤姆试着走路。汤姆确实这样做了。So主语助动词do/does/did，此处表示与上文动作一致，用助动词do/does/did代替上文相同的动作。根据Some days ago，可知句子用一般过去时态，故答案为did。8of解析：考查介词。make fun of是固定词组，意为“嘲笑”。故答案为of。9adaptable/adapted解析：考查形容词或固定结构。句意：这一次，汤姆适应了这种情况，再也没有感到笨拙。此处用形容词adaptable作表语，也可用固定结构be adapted to，故答案为adaptable/ adapted。10though解析：考查连词。分析句意为“尽管他仍然残疾，但他重新获得了自信”，可知应填though引导让步状语从句。
