Answer 1

小题1:inventions
小题2:measures
小题3:cycling
小题4:recycled
小题5:possibility
小题6:expectancy
小题7:unfortunately
小题8:homeless
小题9:influential
小题10:contributions

试题分析：
小题1: inventions 根据下文的steam engine蒸汽机，说明这是一些发明，创造。故使用invention。
小题2:measures 动词衡量measure，注意该词还可以作为名词“措施”，构成take measures to do sth.
小题3:cycling 动词cycle骑自行车，因为和walking形成并列关系，所以都使用—ing形式。
小题4:recycled 动词recycle回收，连用，与前面的主语garbage构成逻辑上的被动关系，故使用被动语态，也就是使用过去分词的形式。
小题5:possibility 名词possibility可能性；构成固定句式There is no possibility that….不可能….
小题6:expectancy名词expectancy期待，这里的the life expectancy就是指寿命的预期。
小题7:unfortunately 副词unfortunately注意构词法，该词是由形容词fortunate转换而来。
小题8: homeless 本句中的homeless是一个形容词作宾语补足语，洪水让4百万人无家可归。
小题9: influential 形容词influential有影响力的；句意：他是当地政客里最有影响力的一个。
小题10:.contributions 固定搭配make contributions to…对…做出贡献。然后把名词contributions提前，形成被动语态的形式。
点评：单词拼写考察实词居多，特别应注意名词单复数的变化，动词时态语态的变化，形容词和副词的变化等具体语法的使用。
