【解析】文章讲述了美国女性Martha Berry为Georgia贫穷的山区孩子创建学校的故事。

【1】built

考查过去分词。句中schools和动词build是被动关系，用过去分词表被动，此处是过去分词作定语修饰schools，故填built。

【2】itself

考查反身代词。此处指山村学校，这些学校和山脉本身都叫做Martha Berry，表示山脉本身，故填itself。

【3】after

考查介词。此处指根据Martha Berry命名的，表示“在……后，根据”，故填after。

【4】Luckier

考查形容词比较级。根据句中than可知，此处是比较的意思，故用形容词比较级Luckier。

【5】whose

考查关系代词。句中包含定语从句，先行词是children作定语从句中parents的定语，指孩子们的父母，故填关系代词whose。

【6】a

考查冠词。句中school是单数可数名词，此处指开办了一所学校，故填a。

【7】waiting

考查形容词。修饰名词list用形容词，此处指等待批准的名单，候补名单。故填waiting。

【8】for

考查连词。此处指Martha Berry因为为山区贫困孩子所做的事而获得了许多荣誉，此处表原因，故填for。
