4.to have

5.But

6.looking

7.daily

8.hunting

9.for

10.are called

【解析】

1.their考查代词。根据前文many people，可知这里是复数，根据句意，在他们的家，故填their。

2.are考查单复数。根据前文Dogs，可知这里是复数，并且文章为一般现在时，故填are。

3.whom考查宾语从句。Live with sb.缺少宾语，故填whom。

4.to have考查固定结构。It seems…to do，是固定结构，故填to have。

5.But 考查连词。根据前后文可知这里缺少表示转折的连词，故填but。

6.looking考查动名词。Animals和look之间构成主动关系，故填looking。

7.daily考查形容词。Daily作表语用来形容struggle，故填daily。

8.hunting考查and的用法。And前后动词的结构形式相同，根据前面动词加-ing，可知后面动词也应用-ing的形式，故填hunting。

9.for考查固定结构。Use for是固定用法，表示“用来……”，故填for。

10. called考查被动语态。They和call之间构成被动关系，并且是复数，故填are called。
