Do you ever stop and think about this big, beautiful world we live in? It’s home __1__ so many people and animals. We all live in this amazing place, so we all have the __2__ (responsible) to take care of it, too.

语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。保护环境，从我做起；拯救地球，从小做起。作者8岁时创立网络公司，把一部分利润捐给热衷环保的组织。最小的行动胜过最大的打算。你行动起来了吗？
1．to be home to“为??的栖息地，是??的家园”，为固定搭配。 2．responsibility 根据空前的“have the”可知此处应填一个名词，responsibility“责任，职责”。
3．how 分析句子结构可知，空处引导的从句作wondered的宾语，且根据句意可知，此处表示方式，故用how引导该从句，表示“我想知道我如何能把我的才能发挥好”。
4．inspired 空处的前一句和后一句都用的是一般现在时，但是根据空后的时间状语“at age 8”可知，此处描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。
5．trying 分析句子结构可知，organizations与try之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故此处应用现在分词形式作后臵定语。
6．invited 此处是get done“被??”结构，故填过去分词。
7．is that引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，that指代的是something else，表示单数含义，故从句谓语动词用单数形式。此外，这里表示客观的情况，故应用一般现在时。综上可知本空填is。
8．a 很多人觉得对任何事业的小小贡献都是杯水车薪，不会有什么影响。这里表示泛指，且contribution是可数名词，故用a。注意：feel like后面是一个省略了引导词的从句。
9．Actually 空处作状语修饰整个句子，故要用副词。actually“事实上”。 10．tiniest 根据空前的“The”和句意“最微小的事情也比最伟大的打算好”，空处要填最高级跟后面的“the greatest”形成对比。

Hospitals haven’t always been clean and quiet places. Long ago they were dirty and crowded. Nurses were never taught __1__ to look after their patients and many people died. It was Florence Nightingale who changed all this.
Florence was born in 1820. As a child, she often went with her mother __2__ (visit) the poor people. They took food and medicine to the sick. It was these visits that first gave her the idea of becoming __3__ nurse.
Her chance came in 1854 when Britain went to war with Russia. Florence __4__ (ask) by the government to take a group of nurses to look after the sick and the __5__ (wound).

After the war, Florence opened a school to teach nurses to look after their patients __9__ (proper). However, she never really made a full __10__ (recover) from the illness that she had in the war, and she died in 1910.

1．how 根据语境，此处指以前的护士从未被教过要如何照顾病人，故用how。
2．to visit 分析句子结构可知，此处为不定式短语在句中作目的状语。 3．a 根据语境可知，此处表泛指，指“成为一名护士”，故应用不定冠词
a。
4．was asked 此处说的是发生在过去的事情，应用一般过去时；又根据空后的“by the government”可知，Florence与ask之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。
5．wounded “the＋adj.”是固定用法，表示一类人，故填wounded。 6．cleaned 分析句子结构可知，此处与worked和made并列作句子的谓语，故也应用一般过去时。
7．checking check与其逻辑主语she之间是主动关系，故应用现在分词短语作伴随状语。
8．for 根据语境可知，此处指的应是“她给他们提供慰藉”，provide sth.for sb.＝ provide sb. with sth.。
9．properly 空处修饰look after，应用副词形式。
10．recovery 根据语境及空前的“a full”可知此处应用名词形式。
