【解析】

本题考查单句改错，需要特别注意固定搭配，非谓语动词的使用和时态问题。

1.考查非谓语动词。句意：他致力于创造一个和平的世界。devote oneself to中的to是介词，不是不定式符号，需要接动名词作宾语，故create改为creating。

2.考查固定搭配。句意：我们正在楼上睡觉，这时突然发生了地震。be doing when…是固定句型，表示“正在做某事，这时突然……”，故while改为when。

3.考查非限定性定语从句。句意：我们都喜欢查理早期的电影，我们认为它们更有趣。此处为非限定性定语从句，先行词为films，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，that不能引导非限定性定语从句，故that改为which。

4.考查时态。句意：这是我第一次离开家这么长时间。如果主句用一般现在时，从句用现在完成时；如果主句用一般过去时，从句用过去完成时，故把is改为was或had改为have。

5.考查虚拟语气。句意：我父母坚持要我在家里说英语。当insist表示“坚持要”时，后面的宾语从句使用should do的虚拟语气，其中should可以省略，故spoke 改为speak。
