【解析】
本文主要讲述了作者和她的姐姐一直设法让人们停止吸烟有好多年了,所以他们一起努力呼吁人们不要乱扔烟蒂,并且还给烟草公司写信建议他们再给每包烟加一个烟灰缸。
【1】句意:一天,他们在家乡散步时,看见地上有几百个烟头。句子they saw hundreds of cigarette butts (烟头) on the ground. 看见地上有几百个烟头。可知,是一般过去时;再由while引导的句子中应该用过去进行时。结构是:was/were+动词的现在分词。主语是they,因此be动词用were。故答案为:were walking。
【2】句意:烟头使这个镇看起来很难看,于是他们决定组建一个小组。本题考查make的用法。make sb. do sth. 使某人做某事。make +宾语+省略to的不定式:表示主语“要”“使”“让”宾语干某事,宾语和宾补之间是一种主动关系。故答案为:look。
【3】句意:他们想让人们停止扔烟头。本题考查stop的用法。stop to do sth. 停止,中断做某事后去做另一件事。stop doing sth. 停止做某事。停止目前正在做的事情。 根据The cigarette butts made the town ___2___ (look) so ugly that they decided to start a group. 烟头使这个镇看起来很难看,于是他们决定组建一个小组。可知,他们决定组建一个小组是来阻止人们扔烟头。因此用stop doing sth. 故答案为:dropping。
【4】句意:小组的名字叫“No Butts About It”。本题的主语The group,与动词call之间存在着一种被动关系,因此用被动句;又因为“No Butts About It”这个小组是过去成立的,因此用一般过去时的被动句。结构是:was/were+动词的过去分词。到目前为这个小组依然存在,因此也可以用一般现在时的被动句,结构是:am/is/are+动词的过去分词。又因为主语是The group,所以be动词用is/was。故答案为:is called/was called。
【5】句意:许多人听到他们的故事后开始加入他们的小组。根据后半句after they heard of their stories. 可知,该句的时态为一般过去时。所以主句也用一般过去时。故答案为:started。
【6】句意:目前,他们正试图让烟草公司在每包香烟中放一个烟灰缸。由时间状语At the moment可知,本题的时态为现在进行时。结构是:am/is/are+动词的现在分词。主语是they,因此be 动词用are。故答案为:are trying。
