小题1:listening
小题1:improve
小题1:used
小题1:wear
小题1:strict
1. listening 此处by是个介词，故后面用ing形式，结合句子意思是讲通过听（listen to）磁带来学习英语，故用listening。
2. improve 此题考查情态动词can的用法，其后接动词原形，这里可练习对话可以提高英语的口语技能，故用improve。
3. used 此处是固定搭配, used to be 表示过去是…，这里是说她过去是矮的并且文静的。
4. wear 也是固定搭配，wear uniform表示穿制服，在学校就是穿校服。因为前面有must，故用原形wear,情态动词后用原形。
5. strict 这里说的是学校的规定的严格，从上文对话也可看出来。
