【解析】该题考查短语意思辨析，同时涉及到对时态，非谓语动词等的考查。

1.句意：自从他离开中国，我们一直通过电子邮件保持联系。keep in touch with意为“和……保持联系”。该句用的是现在完成时态，故该空应填keeping in touch with。

2.句意：一开始，他反对这个策划，但是，我们成功地使他改变了看法。be opposed to意为“反对”，由后面的managed可知，该句应用一般过去时态，故该空应填was opposed to。

3.句意：汤姆养成了每天睡觉之前给表上发条的习惯。wind up意为“上发条”，该空做of的宾语，故该空应填winding up。

4.句意：公交车司机应该为乘客的安全负责。answer for意为“为……负责”。

5.句意：在过去的30年里，很多因素促成了电信的发展。contribute to意为“导致，促成”。该句用的是现在完成时态，故该空填过去分词contributed to。

6.句意：数百万的农民富裕起来，他们全都受益于党的新政策。benefit from意为“从……中受益”，all benefiting from the Party’s new policy是独立主格结构。all和benefit是主动关系，故该空填现在分词形式。

7.句意：尽管整天都被困在家里，但他利用网络和外界保持联系。to keep track of表目的。

8.句意：他专心致志的做实验以至于他从早晨到现在一口饭都没吃。be absorbed in意为“专心致志于……，专心于……”。
