这是一道英语综合填空题，主要考查词汇在语境中的运用、词性转换、固定搭配以及语法知识。解题关键在于理解短文语境，结合所给词汇或提示，运用正确的语法规则和词汇形式填空。
1. “be busy doing sth.”是固定搭配，意为“忙于做某事”，所以此处填“doing”。
2. 这里考查非谓语动词，make与These grids之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词“made”作后置定语。
3. 此处修饰名词sand，要用形容词形式，“moving”表示“移动的”，符合语境。
4. 这里表示“一位有经验的农民”，experienced以元音音素开头，所以用不定冠词“an”。
5. “use sth. to do sth.”是固定用法，意为“使用某物做某事”，所以填“to keep”。

7. 由than可知，这里要用比较级“older”。
