【解析】

1.考查介词短语。扫坟墓，点薰香是为了纪念他们的祖先。in memory of“为了纪念”是常用短语。故填in memory of。

2.考查动词。他们把大量的二氧化碳排放到大气中去，这使得地球上的热不能释放到太空中去。大量的二氧化碳会阻止地球热量的释放。prevent…from…“阻止某人做某事；阻止某事发生；”是常用搭配。注意which引导定语从句，指代整个主句的意思，相当于单数，句子使用一般现在时，故谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填 (1). prevents (2). from。

3.考查动词短语。事实是我当义工挣船费，这就是我出现的原因。当义工是出现的原因，account for“说明……的原因”是固定搭配。注意此处which引导定语从句，指代整个主句的意思，相当于单数，句子使用一般现在时描述，故谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填(1). accounts (2). for。

4.考查形容词。地球开始变得激烈动荡以至于不知道这样的地球外形维持多久。注意become“成为”是系动词，故空格处填形容词作表语。故填violent。

5.考查状语从句。全国到处都是樱花，看上去就像是铺上了一层粉红色的雪。樱花好像粉红色的雪。as though“似乎；好像”引导方式状语从句。故填 (1). as (2). though。

6.考查动名词作宾语。look forward to“渴望”是固定词组，to是介词，跟动名词作宾语。故填combining。

7.考查副词词组。他们相爱了不久以后他们结婚了。before long“不久以后”是固定词组作时间状语。故填before long。

8.考查动词。陷入麻烦的时候向律师征求意见。seek advice from sb.“向某人征求意见”。注意seek的过去式是sought。故填sought。

9.考查介词短语。聪明的与愚蠢的是相反的。on the contrary“正相反；恰恰相反”是固定短语。故填(1). on (2). the (3). contrary。

10.考查名词。任何人都有长处和短处。and连接并列成分，strengths and weaknesses“长处和短处”。故填strengths。
