我们逐题结合上下文和知识点分析：
1. 第1题：描述很多年前社区的状态，和old并列，crowded（拥挤的）符合老旧社区的特征，其余选项free（免费的）、cheap（便宜的）、wide（宽阔的）不符合语境。
2. 第2题：there be句型，时间是Many years ago为一般过去时，后面的名词tall buildings是复数，所以be动词用were。
3. 第3题：后文描述现在社区建筑、操场、花园都变好，说明社区发生了很大改变，changes符合语境。
4. 第4题：描述现在社区的高楼，和tall并列，beautiful（美观的）符合新社区建筑的特点。
5. 第5题：固定搭配be full of表示“充满”，此处指花园里满是漂亮的花。
6. 第6题：社区中心是充满爱和关怀的地方，love和后文的care对应，符合语境。
7. 第7题：志愿者在社区里帮忙解决困难，help out表示“帮忙分担、协助”，其余选项get off（下车）、write down（写下）、keep out（阻挡）不符合语义。
8. 第8题：固定搭配offer help表示“提供帮助”，指志愿者主动给不同的人提供帮助。
9. 第9题：此处是递进关系，志愿者帮忙照看失物，甚至帮忙寻找走失的孩子，even表示“甚至”符合递进逻辑。
10. 第10题：medical exams是固定表达“体检”，指给65岁以上的老人提供免费体检。
11. 第11题：后文列举的洗衣机、电视、坏自行车都属于需要修理的物品，repair表示“修理”符合语境。
12. 第12题：全文都在讲志愿者的服务，此处指让大家了解志愿工作的重要性，voluntary work表示“志愿工作”。
13. 第13题：此处指代前文提到的志愿者们，指代复数人称用them，join them表示“加入他们”。
