【解析】

文章大意：短文讲了大多数人对雨林不感兴趣，通过一个保护热带雨林爱好者的例子，详细的讲述了人们对热带雨林的看法，及其对动物和人类的重要性。

【1】句意：其次，它们看起来又黑又危险。
考查副词。根据提示词，结合上文的First of all，可知此处应用副词second（ly），又因其位于句首，所以首字母要大写；故答案填Second（ly）。

【2】句意：他从小就对热带雨林感兴趣。
考查连词。根据上文However，Jeff Corwin is different from most people. 然而，Jeff Corwin与大多数人不同。结合He has been interested in rainforests __2__ he was a child.since自从+一般过去时，主句常用现在完成时，故答案填since。

【3】句意：“从那时起，他就有了一个目标；告诉人们热带雨林的重要性。”
考查动词非谓语。根据Since then，he has had one goal：__3__(tell)people the importance of rainforests.谓语动词是has had，因此设空处是非谓语动词，此处两种形式均可，故答案填to tell/telling。

【4】句意：除此之外，他对生活在那里的特殊物种非常感兴趣。
考查副词。根据he is most interested in the special animals living there. 他最感兴趣的是生活在那里的特殊动物。联系上文语境，可知这点也是吸引Jeff Corwin的原因，所以此处应填besides此外，又因其位于句首，所以首字母要大写，故答案填Besides。

【5】句意：“雨林是世界上一半动物群体的家园。”
考查名词。根据Rainforests are home to half of the animal __5__(group)in the world.animal groups动物群体，故答案填groups。

【6】句意：“热带雨林对这些动物很重要。”
考查代词。根据The rainforests are important to ___6___(this)animals，这里应用these修饰后面的名词复数animals，故答案填these。

【7】句意：“它们对森林有益。”
考查介词。根据上文they are important to the rainforests，too. 它们对雨林也很重要。结合They are good __7__ the forests，be good for对…有好处，故答案填for。

【8】句意：“因为每一种都在保持雨林健康方面发挥作用。”
考查动名词。根据as each one plays a role in __8__(keep)the rainforest healthy.in是介词，后面跟动词的ing形式，故答案填keeping。

【9】句意：“Jeff想帮助人们了解有价值的信息。”
考查形容词。根据Jeff wants to help people understand the __9__(value)information.设空处修饰后面的名词information，所以应填入形容词形式valuable有价值的，故答案填valuable。

【10】句意:“Jeff认为教育是保护雨林的最好方法。”
考查形容词的最高级。根据Jeff believes education is the__10__(good)way to protect rainforests.设空处前面有定冠词the，所以用good的最高级形式，故答案填best。
