【分析】
本题为词汇运用题，需根据括号内的汉语提示，结合句子的时态、固定搭配及句子结构，选择正确的英语短语形式填空。解题时要先明确每个汉语对应的固定表达，再结合句子语境调整形式，如时态、动词形式等。
【解析】
1. “将来”对应的固定英语短语为in the future，在句中作时间状语，符合语境；
2. “着火”的固定短语是be on fire，主句为一般过去时，when引导的时间状语从句需用过去时态，主语house是单数，故填was on fire；
3. “扑灭”的固定短语是put out，不定式符号to后接动词原形，构成目的状语，故填put out；
4. “关心”的固定短语是care about，主语是复数farmers，一般现在时，与plant并列，用动词原形，故填care about；
5. “保护环境”的固定短语是protect the environment，try to后接动词原形，构成固定搭配try to do sth，故填protect the environment。
【答案】
1. in the future 2. was on fire 3. put out 4. care about 5. protect the environment
