【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了汽车在美国家庭中的重要性，每个家庭几乎都拥有汽车，人们用汽车做任何事，上学、上班、采购物资等等，汽车在美国的普及，给人们的出行带来了很大的便利。

【1】根据前文“There are still many families without cars”及后文“some families have two or more”，可知前后两句表示意义上的转折。故填but。

【2】“However, cars are used for more than ____2____ (please)”，分析句子结构，句尾缺少宾语成分，故填pleasure。

【3】“Cars are used ____3____ business”，本句中，used为动词，business为名词，所以二者之间用介词连接，be used for 被用来…，故填for 。

【4】“They are driven to offices and ___4___(factory)”，根据连词and可知，前后两句为并列句，根据前句offices，是名词复数形式，前后形式保持一致，故填factories。

【5】“They are driven to offices and factories by workers ___5___ have no other way to get to their jobs”，分析句子结构，前句为主句，后句为从句，从句___5___ have no other way to get to their jobs缺少主语成分，应用能表示主语成分的连接词引导从句。故填who 或that。

【6】“___6___ some cities, school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school”，分析句子，school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school为主语，成分完整，所以___6___ some cities表示地点状语。故填In。

【7】根据文章“ One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children and the neighbors’ children”以及“ Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesday, and so on”，可知，妈妈们是轮流送孩子上学，take turns 轮流。故填turns。

【8】“One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children and the neighbors’ children ___8___well”，分析句子，成分完整，结合句意分析，每个妈妈送自己的孩子上学时，会顺带捎上邻居家的孩子，as well也，故填as。

【9】“This is ___9___(call) forming a car pool”，分析句子结构，is为动词，同一个句子不能出现双谓语，在结合句意，这种形式被称作合伙用车，故填called。

【10】“More car pools should be formed in order to put ___10___(few) cars on the road and use less gas”，由连词and可知，前后两句为并列句，根据后句出现的less可知前句也应使用比较级，故填fewer。
