【解析】

本题主要考查上下文句意和动词、名词等用法。

1.句意：尽管有些大猩猩很危险，但这并没有让Dian气馁。此处作谓语，在助动词did not之后，用动词原形形式，故填discourage。

2.考查形容词。句意：然而，霍华德•卡特活到了65岁。有些人说死亡只是巧合。此处用形容词作表语，故填coincident。

3.考查动词短语。句意：如果吸入，它们能导致疾病甚至死亡。result in“导致”，又因为其前为情态动词can，故填result in。

4.考查动词形式。句意：在群山之间，阳光反射在许多湖泊上，使它们像钻石一样在富饶的乡村里闪闪发光。reflect反射，主语为the sunshine为单数名词，又根据句意可判断为一般现在时态，故填reflects。

5.考查上下文语境。句意：在这片宁静的土地上，人们与自然和谐相处，远离外界的喧嚣和烦恼。由句意“远离外界的喧嚣和烦恼”可知，人们与自然的关系时自然和谐的，填people live in perfect harmony with nature

6.考查动词词义。句意：一分钟以前，她还希望有人来呢。现在她想跑，但恐惧使她动弹不得。wish for sb. to do sth. 希望某人做某事。根据下文，用过去完成时态，表示“过去的过去”，故填wished for。

7.考查谓语。句意：几秒钟后，一只手伸出来抓住了她的手臂。根据前后动作的衔接和连贯，这里指先“伸出”再“抓住”，故填reached out。

8.考查名词词义。句意：我把它握在手里，用它来感觉路面，这样我就能知道我前面是不是有什么东西。根据句意可知，此处意为“人行道，路面”，故填pavement。
