【解析】

主旨大意：本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者自己在中学毕业后去伯利兹做志愿者的经历。
1.句意：在英格兰，毕业的学生会在去大学________休一年的假。分析句子结构可知，空格处缺少连词，结合全文和首字母提示可知。是先去休假，再去上大学。故填before。
2.句意：他们大多数都会有一个旅行或者________去其他国家。分析句子结构，or连接并列结构。根据句意，结合前文a trip和首字母提示可知，他们将去旅行，故填journey。
3.句意：至于我，我选择在伯利兹做一名志愿者，负责保护珊瑚礁。分析句子结构，结合句意可知，one of the＋名词复数，表示"……之一"，所以本题应用名词复数，故填volunteers。
4.句意：这是我第一次去国外旅行。本题考查句型"It is ＋the＋序数词＋time＋ for sb. to do sth."，某人第几次做某事。应用序数词，故填first。
5.句意：然而，比起它们的美更重要的事情是它们需要保护。根据than和句意可知，此处应用比较级。故填greater。
6.句意：因为这里的海水被严重污染。分析句子结构可知此处需填副词修饰动词polluted。故填heavily。
7.句意：与此同时，我________一家当地人一起住着。分析可知此处需填介词，表示"和……一起"。故填with。
8.句意：我帮助他们打扫房间和做饭。根据句意可知此处填clean, clean the house打扫房间，为固定短语。且由help sb. (to) do sth.可知用动词原形。故填clean。
9.句意：虽然我在这里没有钱，但我很享受我在这里的生活。分析句子结构可知，此处需填形容词性物主代词。故填my。
10.句意：我可以在这儿学到关于这些人的很多东西。分析可知此处特指当地人，应用定冠词。故填the。
