四、
答案:①sunny ②lying ③buried ④that/which ⑤but ⑥ourselves ⑦to solve ⑧up ⑨importantly ⑩are damaged
解析:①此处修饰名词weekends,应用形容词,故填sunny。
②句意为:我讨厌在阳光明媚的周末去海滩,讨厌看到沙滩上布满垃圾袋,沙子里埋着烟头,还有苏打水罐漂浮在海面。此处bags和lie之间是逻辑上的主动关系,故用现在分词作宾补,故填lying。
③此处 cigarette butts和bury之间是逻辑上的被动关系,故用过去分词作宾补,故填buried。
④句意为:我总是被教导喝完苏打水后要把罐子扔到它应该待的地方——垃圾桶。设空处引导定语从句,place是先行词,指物,关系词在定语从句中作介词at的宾语,故答案为that/which。
⑤句意为:另一件让我恼火的事是,有些人从垃圾旁边走过,却假装垃圾不存在。此处表示转折关系,故填but。
⑥句意为:这是我们的错,我们必须责备自己。此处主语和宾语同指一人,应用反身代词作宾语,故填ourselves。
⑦句意为:每个人都必须尽自已的一份力量来解决这个问题。此处是动词不定式作目的状语,故填to solve。
⑧pick up为固定搭配,意为“拾起,捡起”,故填up。
⑨句意为:更重要的是,在海滩被破坏到无法修复之前,我们必须现在就行动起来。此处是副词修饰整个句子,故填importantly。
⑩从句的主语beaches是复数形式,和damage之间是被动关系,且主句为一般现在时,所以从句用一般现在时的被动语态,故填are damaged。
