【解析】

试题分析：文章介绍了Low-Carbon Brother用自己的日常行为来支持低碳环保生活的具体事例及作者对他的赞赏和支持。

【1】become ----became. 考查时态。句中包含了明确的时间状语in 2011，所以用一般过去时，故become ----became.

【2】reducing ----reduce.考查动词。此处是help的用法，help sb. do∕ to do sth.帮助某人做某事，故reducing ----reduce.

【3】she ----he.考查代词。此处指A young man called Low-Carbon Brother是男性，故she ----he.

【4】or ---and.考查连词。句意：他总是在街上捡废纸然后用空白的部分写东西。前后句不是转折关系是顺承关系，故or ---and.

【5】up---down.考查副词。此处指把电视屏幕亮度调低，要用turn down“关小，调低” turn up“开大，调高，故up---down.

【6】Therefore ---Besides.考查副词。上文讲Low-Carbon捡废纸、把电视屏幕调到最低和关灯等行为，下面接着说他的环保行为，句子之间不是因果关系而是并列关系，故Therefore ---Besides.

【7】simply---simple.考查形容词。此处修饰名词life用形容词修饰，a simple life“一种简单的生活”，故simply---simple.

【8】invention----inventions.考查名词。此处由so many修饰可数名词invention，要用复数形式。故invention----inventions.

【9】favor 后加of.考查固定短语。in favor of“支持，赞同”，句意：我强烈赞成他的想法和行为。故favor 后加of.

【10】but 去掉。考查连词。英语句子中Although和but不能同时出现在同一句中，只能用一个。故but 去掉。
