4.recycled

6. expectancy  

7.unfortunately      

8. homeless    

9.influential

【解析】

试题分析：

1. inventions 根据下文的steam engine蒸汽机，说明这是一些发明，创造。故使用invention。

2.measures     动词衡量measure，注意该词还可以作为名词“措施”，构成take measures to do sth.

3. cycling      动词cycle骑自行车，因为和walking形成并列关系，所以都使用—ing形式。

4.recycled    动词recycle回收，连用，与前面的主语garbage构成逻辑上的被动关系，故使用被动语态，也就是使用过去分词的形式。

5.possibility   名词possibility可能性；构成固定句式There is no possibility that….不可能….

6.expectancy   名词expectancy期待，这里的the life expectancy就是指寿命的预期。

7.unfortunately      副词unfortunately注意构词法，该词是由形容词fortunate转换而来。

8. homeless    本句中的homeless是一个形容词作宾语补足语，洪水让4百万人无家可归。

9. influential   形容词influential有影响力的；句意：他是当地政客里最有影响力的一个。

10..contributions   固定搭配make contributions to…对…做出贡献。然后把名词contributions提前，形成被动语态的形式。
