① do ② leg

⑤ keeps ⑥ ill

【分析】
本题为英语选词填空题，解题思路为：先通读全文理解文章大意，再结合每个空的语境、语法规则，匹配给出的单词（leg、do、hard、keeps、ill、help）完成填空。需注意动词的形式、形容词的用法以及上下文的逻辑关系。
【解析】
① 句子主语为复数名词Lots of people，时态为一般现在时，结合语境“很多人参加特里·福克斯跑步活动”，此处需填动词原形do，构成“do the Terry Fox Run”（参加该活动）；
② 由“only one”可知此处填可数名词单数，结合“because of cancer”（因为癌症），可知是失去了一条腿，故填leg；
③ “want to”后接动词原形，结合语境“帮助癌症患者”，填help；
④ 系动词is后需接形容词，结合语境“跑步对他来说很困难”，填hard；
⑤ 主语He为第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，结合语境“坚持跑步”，填keeps，构成“keep doing sth”（坚持做某事）；
⑥ 结合“stops running”（停止跑步）的原因，可知是生病，填ill。
【答案】
① do ② leg ③ help ④ hard ⑤ keeps ⑥ ill
