1. or 考查连词。句意:首先,多步行而不是乘公交或者坐小汽车。根据句意可知,此处需要填连词or用来连接两种方式,表示选择关系。
2. an 考查冠词。根据句意可知,此处表示“一种简单而又有趣的方式”,表泛指,且easy是发音以元音音素开头的单词,故用不定冠词an。
3. activities 考查名词单复数。activity意为“活动”时是可数名词;根据空前的some可知,此处应用activity的复数形式。
4. picking 考查动名词。分析句子结构可知,“... up any rubbish you see”应作句子的主语,故此处应用pick的动名词形式picking。
5. Fourth 考查数词。根据上文中的First、Second、Third可知,此处应用序数词表示顺序,且句首单词首字母需要大写。
6. helpful 考查形容词。句意:你的一些旧东西仍然可以帮助其他人。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作表语,故用help的形容词形式helpful。be helpful to意为“对……有帮助”。
7. them 考查代词。分析句子结构可知,空处作动词give的宾语;they是代词,作宾语时需要用其宾格形式them。
8. minutes 考查名词单复数。句意:种树只需要几分钟,但它可以让环境受益很多年。根据空前的a few可知,此处需要填名词minute的复数形式。
9. in 考查介词。take part in意为“参加,参与”。
10. be 考查动词。根据空前的情态动词can可知,此处应用动词原形。
