【分析】
本题为短文选词填空题，解题思路如下：1. 通读短文，明确文章主旨为路易斯分享上周去佛罗里达群岛的旅行经历；2. 分析每个空格的语法属性（如时态、词性、搭配等），结合上下文语境，从方框给出的词汇中筛选合适的词，并根据语法规则变形；3. 填完后通读全文，验证语句通顺度与意思完整性。
【解析】
1. 固定搭配have a great time表示“玩得开心”，时间状语为last week，需用一般过去时，故填had；
2. 空格修饰名词things，需用形容词，结合语境“学到有用的东西”，选useful；
3. 情态动词can't后接动词原形，结合语境“人们不能在海里喂这些动物”，选feed；
4. 空格修饰名词help，需用所有格形式，结合语境“它们依赖人们的帮助”，people的所有格为people's；
5. 形容词some后接可数名词复数，结合语境“有趣的地方”，place的复数形式为places；
6. 空格修饰名词bridge，需用形容词，结合语境“令人兴奋的七英里桥”，选exciting；
7. 空格修饰数词短语seven miles long，需用副词，选really；
8. 对应前文提到的new bridge，此处指旧的七英里桥，选old；
9. 空格修饰动词walking，需用副词，选slowly；
10. 固定搭配show sb around表示“带某人参观”，选around。
【答案】
1. had 2. useful 3. feed 4. people's 5. places 6. exciting 7. really 8. old 9. slowly 10. around
