【2】which

【3】in

【4】comfortable

【5】are exposed

【6】a

【7】compared

【8】One

【9】lower

【10】possibly

【解析】

【1】staying 考查非谓语动词。从结构可知此处是非谓语做主语，用动名词形式，填staying。

【2】which考查关系代词。在非限制性定语从句中缺少主语，用关系代词which指代前句话内容。

【3】in 考查介词。固定短语：result in 导致，造成，填in。

【4】comfortable考查形容词。此处是和constant并列做temperatures的定语，故用形容词形式。

【5】are exposed考查谓语动词。Expose是及物动词，句中没有宾语，判断用被动形式，be exposed to “暴露在……之下”，根据主谓一致原则，填are exposed。

【6】a 考查冠词。固定短语：a significant amount of“大量的”，填a。

【7】compared考查非谓语动词。此处是“连词+分词”结构，compare和句子主语outdoor workers之间是被动关系，用过去分词，填compared。

【8】One考查数词。从上文内容可知此处指两组中的一组，因位于句首，故填One。

【9】lower考查比较级。根据句中than可知此处用比较级，修饰名词levels，用形容词，故填lower。

【10】possibly考查副词。修饰动词lose用副词形式，故填possibly。
