【解析】

试题分析：

【1】are suffering考查谓语动词。此处指目前英国的局势，用现在进行时。他们之所以往人们口袋里放钞票，是因为人们正在遭受经济危机。

【2】putting 考查非谓语动词。从结构判断非谓语短语做状语，和句子主语they之间是主动关系，用现在分词，填putting。

【3】to考查介词。from … to … 由5英镑到20英镑不等的钞票被偷偷放进人们的衣袋里或包里。

【4】secretly考查副词，修饰动词put用副词形式。句意：钱被偷偷放进人们的衣袋里或手提包里。

【5】spots 考查名词。Other后面跟复数名词，句意： 偷偷投放钞票的地点是广场、公园及其它繁忙地段。

【6】to give 考查非谓语动词。此处是it做形式主语，不定式做真正的主语。

【7】a 考查冠词。固定短语：for a change“改变，为了改变一下”。

【8】heads 考查动词，根据now判断此处指现在的情况，用一般现在时。

【9】which 考查代词。从结构可知此处是定语从句，句中缺少主语，指代campaign，用which。

【10】least 考查形容词。固定短语：at least“至少”。他们计划至少发放100,000英镑。
