【4】also

【5】Instead

【解析】

本文主要是作者介绍了一些寻找乐趣的方法，乐趣不一定是昂贵的，有很多乐趣是不必花钱的。

【1】句意：在附近的小路或公园里徒步走或骑行。

根据句子理解及前句Going outside in good weather can be a lot of fun, especially if you go with a friend.天气好的时候出去会很有趣，尤其是和朋友一起去的时候。可知这里应该说的是出去具体可以做的一些事情，而与cycle能够并列的活动，且是在附近能够做的，也就是徒步走，故答案为Hike。

【2】句意：你可能已经拥有一台可以拍照的相机或手机。

根据句意理解及前句Photographic equipment can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be.摄影器材可能很贵，但不一定非要。以及空格后的already可知，这里表达的是“可能”，英语是probably，是一个副词，在句中修饰动词，故答案为probably。

【3】句意：其他的创造性爱好也可以用基本的材料来完成。

根据句意理解及后句Drawing and writing require nothing more than a pencil and paper.可知，这里表达的是“材料”，英语是material，是一个可数名词，而空格前没有不定冠词修饰，所以这里应该用复数形式，故答案为materials。

【4】句意：博物馆和大学也举办免费活动。

根据句意理解及前文Libraries often hold free public events. Stop by one to find out what’s going on. And while you’re there, borrow a book or movie for free.图书馆经常举办免费的公共活动。停下，看看发生了什么事。当你在那里的时候，可以免费借一本书或一部电影。可知这里表达的是“也”，英语是also/ too，而本句是一个肯定句，且空格是在句中，所以这里应该用also，故答案为also。

【5】句意：如果你的朋友下午来，你不就不必准备饭菜了。相反，你可以坐下来聊天，玩棋类游戏或打牌或看电影。

根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“相反，反而”，英语是instead，是一个副词，在这里修饰整个句子，故答案为Instead。
