2.him

3.when/after

5.bringing

6.whose

7.who

8.arrival

9.an

10.and/so

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于记叙文，讲述了一对外国夫妻来到中国做志愿者，在武汉福利院里照顾孩子。

1.were taken 考查时态语态。因为叙述的是过去发生的事情，所以全文都使用一般过去时。且本句的主语some orphans与动词take构成被动关系，所以使用一般过去时的被动语态were taken。

2.him 考查代词。根据前一句The children were eager to tell him everything that was going on.可知这位老人是男性，所以使用him指代他做动词call的宾语。

3.when/after 考查状语从句连词。当他和妻子退休的时候/在他和妻子退休以后，他们来到武汉做志愿者。他们做志愿者，应该是在自己退休的时候或退休以后。所以使用when/after引导这个时间状语从句。

4.to improve 考查不定式用法。不定式在英语中通常充当目的状语。句意：自从Dorrity夫妇来了以后，他们就努力提高福利院儿童的条件。本句中不定式to improve...在句中就充当目的状语。

5.bringing 考查分词做状语。本句中动词bring与句子主语they构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词短语在句中作伴随状语。句意：他们带孩子出去旅行，带着很多食物给孩子享用。

6.whose 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是four orphans，关系代词whose指代先行词在句中放在名词hearing的前面充当定语，引导这个定语从句。

7.who 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是Tan Jun，关系代词who指代先行词在句中作主语引导这个定语从句。

8.arrival 考查名词。介词with的后面要接名词做宾语，动词arrive的名词是arrival。句意：随着春天的到来，他们带孩子出去进行了一次远足。

9.an 考查冠词。不定冠词an/a表示泛指，同时本句中“outing远足”也是一个可数名词，可以使用a/an修饰。句意：随着春天的到来，他们带孩子出去进行了一次远足。

10.and/so 考查连词。句意：我们爱中国，我们喜欢孩子，所以我们做这样的事情很开心。根据句意可知上下文之间存在因果关系或顺接关系，所以使用and/so连接。

连词是一种虚词，用于连接单词、短语、从句或句子，在句子中不单独用作句子成分。连词按其性质可分为并列连词和从属连词。并列连词用于连接并列的单词、短语、从句或句子，如and, but, or, for等；从属连词主要引出名词性从句(主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句等)和状语从句(时间状语从句、条件状语从句、目的状语从句等)，引出名词性从句的连词如that, whether等，引出状语从句的连词如when, because, since, if 等。

Someone borrowed my pen, but I don't remember who.有人借了我的钢笔，但我不记得是谁了。

2. 表示因果关系的并列连词。这类连词主要有 for, so 等。如：

The child had a bad cough, so his mother took him to the doctor.

这孩子咳得很利害，所以他妈妈带他去看医生。

注意：for表示结果通常不能放句首，也不能单独使用。

3. 表示并列关系的并列连词。这类连词主要有 and , or , either…or , neither…nor , not only…but (also) , both…and , as well as 等。如：

注意：every time, each time, any time前不用冠词，(the) next time, (the) last time中的冠词可以省略，而the first time中的冠词通常不能省略。

Do you mind if I open the window?我开窗你不介意吧?

注意：在条件状语从句中，通常要用一般现在时表示将来意义，而不能直接使用将来时态。不过，有时表示条件的 if之后可能用 will，但那不是将来时态, 而是表示意愿或委婉的请求(will为情态动词)。如：

If you will sit down for a few moments, I'll tell the manager you're here. 请稍坐, 我这就通知经理说您来了。

10. 引起名词从句的从属连词。主要有that, whether, if 等，它们用于引导主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句和同位语从句。其中that 不仅没不充当句子成分，而且没有词义，在句子中只起连接作用；而 if, whether 虽不充当句子成分，但有词义，即表示“是否”。如：
