【解析】本文讲述了Mike从小喜欢船，志愿当一名海军，但长大后眼的视力不好，没当成；然后又想买一条轮船去环游世界，但没有足够的钱；最后他决定去学游泳。

1.考查系动词及语境的理解。句意：我长大后要当一名海军士兵。因为be going to 结构后面要跟动词原形，故答案为：be。

2.考查情态动词及语境的理解。句意：但是他的眼睛不够好，所以他不能参军。这里指过去的事情，所以用一般过去时。故答案为：could not。

3.考查动词及语境的理解。句意：我要去买条船环游世界。be going to 结构后面要跟动词原形，故答案为：buy。

4.考查名词及语境的理解。句意：Mike没有足够的钱。And前面用的是一般过去时，所以这里也指的是过去，故答案为：did not。

5.考查动词及语境的理解。句意：去年夏天，Mike发现了一个游泳学校。因为这里叙述的是过去的事情，所以应该用一般过去时，故答案为：found。

6.考查动词及语境的理解。句意：他不用为课付很多钱，所以他开始周末去学校。have to 后加动词原形，故答案为：pay。

7.考查动词及语境的理解。句意：他不用为课付很多钱，所以他开始周末去学校。这里指过去的事情，所以用一般过去时。故答案为： began。

8.考查动词不定式词及语境的理解。句意：你是怎样把游泳学得这么好的？短语learn to do sth学会做某事。故答案为：to swim

9.考查动词时态及语境的理解。句意：当我在水里时，我对自己说。根据I’m in the water可知，这里是直接引语，从句用的是一般现在时，所以这里也用一般现在时。故答案为：say

10.考查动词时态及语境的理解。句意：有危险的鱼在我身后。因为这句是直接引语，根据Then I’m very afraid，and I swim quickly可知，这里应该用一般现在时。句子的主语是复数是fishes，故用are，故答案为：are。

点睛：时态是动词填空的重点，在解题时必须慎重。要根据时间状语或上下文来确定动词的时态，要注意时态呼应。如：1、2、3、4、5、6、7、9题。要注意谓语动词与主语在人称和数上保持一致。如： 10题。如果所给的动词在句子中不作谓语，就应该考虑用动词的非谓语动词形式。在及物动词want，hope，wish，decide，would like等动词后用不定式作宾语。在enjoy，finish，mind，be busy，be worth，feel like，what／how about，can’t help，practise，have fun／problems等后要用动词-ing形式。如：8题。
