【小题5】down
【解析】（1）考查动词。句意：爬到树顶将是一件令人兴奋的事！分析句子结构可知，这里的it是形式主语，空处的动词不定式为真正的主语，因此用climb的动词不定式to climb。故填to climb。
（2）考查动词。句意：他们的母亲坐在不远处，看着孩子们玩耍。根据"looking at their children as they played."（看着他们的孩子玩耍）可知，这里的时态为过去进行时，其结构是：were/was+动词的现在分词，主语Their mothers 是复数，因此be动词用were，sit的现在分词为sitting。故填were sitting。
（3）考查名词。句意：其他男孩都比大卫先爬到了树的一半，但他最终以最快的速度爬到了树顶。根据"A group of boys gathered around a tree."（一群男孩聚集在一棵树周围。）可知，这里指除了大卫以外的其他男孩们，因此用boy的复数。故填boys。
（4）考查副词。句意：大卫，你是怎么这么快就爬到树顶的？根据"reach"可知，这里应该用副词修饰，quick的副词为quickly。故填quickly。
（5）考查副词。句意：其他的孩子在爬的时候一直往下看。根据"I，however，looked only up."（然而，我只是抬起头来。）可知，这里指其他的孩子一直往下看，look down意为"往下看"。故填down。
本文主要讲述了一群孩子进行爬树比赛的故事，获胜者竟然是一位个子最矮的八岁男孩。这篇文章告诉我们一个道理：在实现目标的过程中，要勇往直前，不要回头，就能实现目标。
