Answer

1.influences

2.reminding

3.to make

4.preferred

5.represents

【解析】

1.influences

句意：据说天气的突然变化深深影响人们的健康。主语the sudden change of the weather是第三人称单数，故谓语用第三人称单数，故为influences。

2.reminding

句意：——谢谢你提醒我带我的包。——不用客气。remind sb to do sth提醒某人做某事，thank you for doing sth谢谢你做了某事，故此处用动名词reminding。

3.to make

句意：那个母亲为了使她的家人吃得好，保持健康，经常做美味的食物。make sb do sth使某人做某事，此处表示目的，故用动词不定式to make。

4.preferred

句意：已经是深夜了，所以那个男孩更喜欢待在家里看电视，而不出去。prefer to do sth更喜欢做某事，根据谓语was，故此处用一般过去时，故为preferred。

5.represents

句意：众所周知玫瑰的数量代表不同的意义。主语the number of roses是第三人称单数，故谓语用第三人称单数，故为represents。

点睛：根据句意，结合词性，短语，句型，时态，语态和主谓一致，选出适当的单词，用其正确形式填空。例如小题4，句意：已经是深夜了，所以那个男孩更喜欢待在家里看电视，而不出去。prefer to do sth更喜欢做某事，根据谓语was，故此处用一般过去时，故为preferred。
