要解决这些用所给单词适当形式填空的题目，需结合句子成分、时态、词性要求及固定搭配分析：1. 空格作主语指人，需将动词变为名词复数；2. 时间状语提示用一般过去时，动词变过去式；3. 修饰名词需用形容词，名词变形容词；4. 语境为过去动作，用动词过去式；5. 修饰动词用副词，形容词变副词；6. 形容词性物主代词后接名词，原词为名词；7. 修饰名词需用形容词，结合语境变形；8. 固定搭配直接用原形。
【解析】
1. 空格在句中作主语指人，chase（动词，追逐）需变为名词“追逐者”，且谓语need为原形，主语用复数，故填chasers；
2. 时间状语last week（上周）提示用一般过去时，prepare的过去式为prepared；
3. 空格修饰名词tornado，需用形容词，名词power变形容词powerful（强大的）；
4. 语境为过去拍摄龙卷风的动作，用一般过去时，film的过去式为filmed；
5. 空格修饰动词increased，需用副词，形容词rapid变副词rapidly（快速地）；
6. his（形容词性物主代词）后接名词，knowledge本身是名词，无需变形；
7. 空格修饰名词snowstorm，结合语境是“意外的”，动词expect变形容词unexpected；
8. 固定搭配be worth doing（值得做某事），故填原形worth。
【答案】
1. chasers 2. prepared 3. powerful 4. filmed 5. rapidly 6. knowledge 7. unexpected 8. worth
