【解析】

【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了一个“能吃”的小镇——托德莫登。它是由Pam女士发起建立,它不仅对世界各地起到了积极带头作用,而且对保护环境也是意义非凡。

1.句意为：任何一块露天空地都被用来种水果和蔬菜。空前无限定词,所以用vegetable的复数形式,故填vegetables。

2.句意为：每一个人都可以免费________它们。根据上句提及的水果和蔬菜及首字母提示可知是指“免费采摘”。空前有情态动词can,故填pick。

3.句意为：……随便吃。Help oneself!意为“随便吃/喝”,为固定用法,可知此处应该填的是you的反身代词,且单数复数均可,故填yourself/yourselves。

4.句意为：今天Pam已经完全改变了这个小镇。修饰动词应用副词,故填completely。

5.句意为：三分之一的当地人变得富裕。根据句意可知此处指“三分之一”,分子用基数词,分母用序数词,且分子为1。故填third。

6.句意为：Pam解释________她会想出这个很受欢迎的想法。根据后句的“Because”可知此处应是“为什么”,故填why。

7.句意为：许多人知道我们必须改变,但是问题是如何去做。由语境可知此处为特指,故填the。

8.句意为：……她决定立刻做些不同的事情。根据句意可知此处指的是“立刻,马上 ”,at once意为“立刻,马上”,故填at。

9.句意为：……托德莫登变成了一个大花园,它充满了水果和蔬菜。be filled with充满,为固定短语。故填filled。

10.句意为：在全世界出现了超过700多个美食之乡。more than意为“超过,多于”,为固定短语,故填more。
