全文时态都是一般过去时态，动词应使用一般过去式。
故填spied。

句意：完成我的杰作后我就来到屋顶，这时爷爷走过来，看着他的卡车，十分惊讶。
分析句子结构可知，look at his truck作Granddad的定语，look与Granddad之间是主动关系，应使用现在分词形式。
故填looking。
【3题详解】考查形容词比较等级。
句意：Angela，那是我见过的最漂亮的卡车。
“the +形容词最高级+可数名词+that I’ve seen/heard/known”意为“我见过的/听过的/知道的最……的……”,是形容词最高级的常见用法。
故填prettiest。
【4题详解】考查介词。
句意：有时，我觉得成年人应该通过孩子的目光去看待事物。
结合句意，后面的短语“a child’s eyes”是用来说明“see things”的方式，即“通过孩子的双眼看待事物”。

故填are testing。
【6题详解】考查非谓语动词。
句意：特别的是，机器人的目标是一种名为长棘海星的大型海星。
分析句子结构可知，call the crown-of-thorns是starfish的定语，starfsh与call之间是被动关系，应使用过去分词形式。
故填called。
【7题详解】考查主语从句。
句意：科学家有望不久之后将这种机器人用于保护大堡礁的工作中。
分析句子可知，it是形式主语，真正的主语是从句“scientists can put the robot to work to protect the Great Barrier Reef.”，句意完整，成分齐全，that引导主语从句，无词义，不做成分，“it+be动词+分词+that+从句”是常见句型。
故填that。

文章介绍了“Zoo Awareness Day”，提醒人们保护动物。
【8题详解】考查定语从句。
句意：动物园宣传日是处于二十一世纪的人们可以质问动物园地位和价值的日子。
分析句子可知，a day是先行词，后句结构完整，不缺主语宾语，结合先行词的属性，考虑表时间的关系副词。
故填when。
【9题详解】考查代词。
即使很多动物园都标榜自身为集教育、保护和研究于一体的地方，但实际上它们只是旅游景点而已。
分析句子可知，这里的they作promote的宾语，就是指动物园自己，应使用反身代词。
故填themselves。
【10题详解】考查形容词。
句意：对自然栖息地的保护是避免物种进一步减少唯一的方法。
