（9）句意：由于人们需要这么多沙子，他们正试图开采更多的沙子。由语境和音标[sins] 提示可知，填：since，表自……以来、因为、由于。句首单词首字母要大写。故答案为：Since。

（10）句意：开采沙可能会导致海滩消失，在靠近大海的地方会发生更多的洪水。根据beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea海滩消失，在靠近大海的地方会发生更多的洪水，可知这些是开采沙所导致的后果，因此填：cause。may是情态动词，后跟动词原形。故答案为：cause。

【点评】考查语法填空，注意根据单词在语境中的词性进行必要的变形，同时熟记固定搭配和基本句型。

【解析】【分析】（1）句意：这群男孩于是决定玩一个游戏，看谁能先爬到树顶。climb 是动词，爬，could是情态动词其后是动词原形，故填 climb 。

（2）句意：他们的母亲坐在不远处，看着他们玩耍。mother是名词，妈妈，此处泛指故用复数，故填 mothers。

（3）句意：其中一个登山者是一个名叫大卫的8岁男孩。boy是名词单数，8以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词an表示泛指，故填an。
