【分析】
首先通读全文，了解詹娜和父亲在回收日讨论物品回收与再利用的故事背景。然后逐个分析每个空的语境和语法要求：
1. 第一空根据时间状语“It was 8 o'clock”，判断是过去某个时刻正在进行的动作，需用过去进行时，主语是复数，确定谓语形式；
2. 第二空考查固定搭配“advise sb. to do sth.”，直接套用结构填不定式；
3. 第三空需要表达“包括杂志在内”，用介词including来衔接；
4. 第四空主语“empty paper box”和动词use是被动关系，且有情态动词can，要用情态动词的被动语态；
5. 第五空前后句是因果关系，父亲要求放进回收袋是因为一直这么做，选择表原因的连词；
6. 第六空特指“把旧杂志送给别人”这个想法，用定冠词the；
7. 第七空是if引导的条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”原则，主句用一般将来时的否定形式；
8. 第八空考查固定短语“make a difference”，直接填名词形式；
9. 第九空考查固定搭配“with a smile”，表示“带着微笑”；
10. 第十空全文为过去时态，谓语动词用过去式。
【解析】
1. 根据时间状语“It was 8 o'clock”，可知是过去某一时刻正在进行的动作，用过去进行时，结构为“was/were + doing”，主语Jenna and her father是复数，所以填were collecting；
2. 固定搭配“advise sb. to do sth.”意为“建议某人做某事”，所以填to put；
3. 此处需要一个介词表示“包括”，including符合语境，意为“包括杂志在内”，故填including；
4. 主语“this empty paper box”和动词use是被动关系，即盒子被使用，情态动词can后接被动语态结构“be + 过去分词”，所以填be used；
5. 前后句存在因果关系，父亲要求把物品放进回收袋是因为一直这样做，表原因的连词because/as/since都符合，故填because/as/since；
6. 此处特指“把旧杂志送给别人”这个想法，定冠词the用于特指，所以填the；
7. if引导的条件状语从句遵循“主将从现”，从句用一般现在时，主句用一般将来时，否定形式为won't get，故填won't get；
8. 固定短语“make a difference”意为“有影响，起作用”，所以填difference；
9. “with a smile”是固定搭配，意为“带着微笑”，表示伴随状态，故填with；
10. 全文叙述过去发生的事情，谓语动词用一般过去时，cheer的过去式是cheered，故填cheered。

1. were collecting 2. to put
3. including 4. be used

五、阅读并回答问题
2025南通海安期末Everyone loves receiving gifts, and across cultures, presents are an important way to show care and love. However, traditions are not the same in every country.
As a European living in China, I have seen some interesting differences. For example, while fruit and milk are common gifts here, in my culture, they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital.
When you get invited to a dinner party, a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still, it's best to check if your hosts drink wine in their daily life.
Most Europeans usually open their presents right away, except in places like Germany. It's also important to take off the price tag before giving gifts.
What can you do if you don't like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person's feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt收据 inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else.
Regifting is another good idea, as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned regifting into a nice project, collecting gifts people didn't want for those in need.
How the present looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper for every present we buy, we produce a lot of waste. Many Germans use high-quality wrapping paper, but some of them are now choosing newspaper or maps to help the environment.
Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often request cash at weddings to cover the cost of the venue and meals.
Finally, remember: It's the thought that counts, not the size or the cost of the gift.
1. Where does the writer come from?

2. What do most Europeans usually do after receiving presents?

3. Why do Spanish people leave the receipt inside the gift?

4. How do many Germans make their presents look so important?

5. Do you agree with regifting? Why or why not?请自拟一句话作答

【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了不同文化背景下送礼与收礼的习俗差异。
