【答案】
【1】is being mended
【2】left; waiting
【3】difference
【4】for
【5】leading
【6】before
【7】to make
【8】to
【解析】
【1】is being mended 此处指目前正在进行的动作，应用现在进行时，而radio与mend之间为逻辑上的被动关系，故用现在进行时的被动语态。
【2】left; waiting 句中已有There be+名词，是一个完整的主谓结构，因此空格处使用非谓语动词形式，left“剩余的”；第二个空是现在分词作后置定语。
【3】difference 短语tell the difference between...and...表示“说出……之间的不同”。
【4】for 固定短语for free表示“免费”。
【5】leading 此处用到了“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构，根据题干，宾语和宾补之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词形式。
【6】before It won’t be long before…可以看作是固定句型，意为“不久……，很快……”。
【7】to make 动词mean表示“想要，打算”时，其后常跟不定式。
【8】to 根据Not at all.可看出“我一点儿也不介意”，所以此处表示“我很乐意”。句中的I’d like to.是I’d like to help you with your maths.的省略，动词不定式符号to要保留。
【题目】阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文后小题的空格里填上适当的单词或短语。注意：每空不超过3个单词。
