【分析】
本题为英语短文填空题，考查词汇形式变化、语法规则及固定搭配的运用。解题思路：先通读全文理解语境，再逐个分析每个空的句子结构、所需词性或语法功能，结合括号内提示词、固定搭配及上下文逻辑确定答案。例如修饰动词用副词、介词后接动名词、固定搭配中冠词/名词的用法等，需逐一对应考点推导。
【解析】
1. 此处修饰动词feel，需用副词，easy的副词形式为easily，故填easily。
2. 固定搭配the whole意为“整个的”，whole前需加定冠词the，故填the。
3. 表示温度降至零度以下，可用介词to或below，故填to/below。
4. for为介词，后接动名词作宾语，fly的动名词是flying，故填flying。
5. among表“在三者及以上之间”，后接可数名词复数，flower的复数为flowers，故填flowers。
6. 此处引导时间/原因状语从句，表“当……时/因为”，可用when、as或because，故填when/as/because。
7. memory为可数名词，此处表泛指，用复数形式memories，故填memories。
8. like后可接不定式to do或动名词doing，构成固定搭配like to do/doing sth，故填to play/playing。
9. 主语leaves为复数，句子为一般现在时，谓语动词用原形，故填turn。
10. 固定搭配be busy doing sth意为“忙于做某事”，harvest的动名词是harvesting，故填harvesting。
【答案】
1. easily 2. the 3. to/below 4. flying 5. flowers 6. when/as/because 7. memories 8. to play/playing 9. turn 10. harvesting
