【解析】

本文是说明文。文章主要针对预防新冠肺炎提出的几个建议。

1.

句意：以下是世界卫生组织(WHO)为您提供的一些预防冠状病毒的安全建议。

根据下文“Stay away from crowds and wear masks ”和Keep up good habits”等可知是针对新冠肺炎的预防提出的一些建议，结合空前“Here is some safety”可知此处填不可数名词advice表示“建议”。故填advice。

2.

句意：与他人保持至少一米的距离，尤其是咳嗽或打喷嚏的人。

根据前面“If you have to go to crowded places, remember to wear a mask.”可知主语是you，故后面说的是你要和别人保持距离。故填you。

3.

句意：比起说话，打喷嚏或咳嗽更容易传播飞沫。

根据常识可知打喷嚏或者咳嗽的力度会大于说话，因此传播飞沫会更容易，且句中有than，说明要用比较级,修饰be spread用副词easily的比较级。故填more easily。

4.

句意；因此，保持窗口打开，否则当病毒积累到一定数量时，您可能会感染病毒。

根据题意可知前面要人保持窗户打开是对人的警告，意思是如果不开窗透气的话就有可能感染病毒，所以我们需要用在警告中的or 来表示否则。故填or。

5.

句意：而且，保持健康的生活习惯是很有必要的，比如饮食平衡，经常锻炼，睡眠充足。

根据“Keep up good habits ”和常识可知好的生活习惯和健康的生活是要保证充足的睡眠的，故此处应填enough。故填enough。

6.

句意：做这些事情可以增强你的免疫系统，降低你感染病毒的可能性。

根据“making it less likely for you to catch the virus”可知是增强免疫系统就会降低感染的风险，故此处可用strength来表达增强。故填strengthen。

7.

句意：洗手前避免接触眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴。

根据“coming into contact with rubbish and touching animals”可知当你的手触摸过垃圾或者动物时是不能摸自己的眼睛鼻子嘴巴的，因为这样细菌就会进入人体，故此处填触摸touch，且前面是avoid，后面加动名词。故填touching。

8.

句意：经常用肥皂和水洗手至少20秒可以阻止病毒进入你的身体。

根据常识可知是用肥皂和水洗手，用工具之类的东西，我们一般用with来表达。故填with.
