【解析】

本篇对话以海伦请假展开，对话谈论流感爆发的时间、如何预防流感：要与人保持安全的距离，勤洗手，和足够的水，远离拥挤的人群。

【1】句意：海伦的父亲给我打电话说海伦得了流感。

空格是句子的谓语，判断填动词；根据时间状语“just now”，可知空格动词用一般过去式；根据下文“But on the phone he said…”可知空格指“打电话给我”，call sb意为“打电话给某人”，其一般过去式为规则变化，词尾+ed；故答案为called。

【2】句意：在电话里他说海伦必须请一周假。

由上文可知“海伦的爸爸打电话请假”，由此推断空格指“请一周的假”；ask for a week’s leave意为“请假一周”；故答案为leave。

【3】句意：据报道，这几天中国有很多学生得了流感。

根据上文“I read the newspaper last week”，根据文句表达的逻辑顺序，推断下文是“陈述报纸上报道什么内容”；It is reported that…意为“据报道……”；故答案为reported。

【4】句意：它有解释为什么会发生这样的事情吗？

空格在不定冠词后面，判断填单数可数名词；根据下文“Flu always happens between … ”——解释了流感爆发的原因，由此推断空格指“解释为什么会这样”；give sb an explanation意为“给某人一个解释”；故答案为explanation。

【5】句意：流感总是在季节转换之间发生。

空格在定冠词后面，判断填名词；从文字的表层意思推断空格指“在季节转换之间”，一年有四季的转换，所以空格名词用复数形式，change意为“变换、转换”，名词，其复数形式是规则变化，在词尾+s；故答案为changes。

【6】句意：现在冬天来了，天气变得越冷。

根据从句“Now as winter comes,”一般现在时，陈述一种客观事实——“随着冬天的到来，天气越冷了”；故答案为colder。

【7】句意：所以，如果我们想找到预防流感的方法，我们应该怎么做？

判断空格填动词原形与to原形构成不定式当定语；根据下文“Keep warm or exercise properly? ”，推断空格指“预防流感”；故答案为prevent。

【8】句意：我们必须知道流感主要是通过空气和身体接触传播的。

空格是从句的谓语，判断填动词；句子陈述一种客观事实，所以用一般现在时；从文字的表层意思推断空格处指“流感主要是通过空气和身体接触传播的”，spread意为“传播”，主语the flu是单数第三人称，谓语动词用单三形式；故答案为spreads。

【9】句意：这就是说，远离病毒并保持清洁也很重要。

由上文可知“流感主要是通过空气和身体接触传播的”，由此推断空格处指“远离病毒”；keep away from意为“远离……”；故答案为away。

【10】句意：你最好不要经常去拥挤的公共场所。

根据下文“You mean the places with lots of people?”——人很多的地方，由此推断空格指“人群拥挤的地方”；空格在名词前，判断填形容词；crowded意为“拥挤的”，形容词，故答案为crowded。
