【解析】

【1】考查動(dòng)詞短語和時(shí)態(tài)。句意：大約有200當(dāng)?shù)厝藢?duì)一個(gè)化工廠的修建表示反對(duì)，他們認(rèn)為這會(huì)給那個(gè)地區(qū)造成嚴(yán)重的污染。根據(jù)句意可知此處用protest against“對(duì)……表示反對(duì)/抗議”符合語境，再結(jié)合語境和下文的would判斷為一般過去時(shí)，故填protested against。

【2】考查介詞短語。句意：我們不確定他是否能夠按時(shí)完成這個(gè)任務(wù)，因?yàn)樗�隨時(shí)被通知修改這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的細(xì)節(jié)。根據(jù)句意可知此處用at short notice“隨時(shí)”符合語境，故填at short notice。

【3】考查動(dòng)詞短語和時(shí)態(tài)。句意：他從來不炫耀他的能力，而是用一個(gè)接一個(gè)成功的產(chǎn)品來證明。根據(jù)句意可知此處用brag about“炫耀”符合語境，由下文的keeps判斷此處為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，主語he是第三人稱單數(shù)，故謂語動(dòng)詞用三單現(xiàn)，故填brags about。

【4】考查動(dòng)詞短語和非謂語。句意：公眾需要一直被提醒環(huán)保的重要性。根據(jù)句意可知此處用remind…of“提醒某人某事”符合語境，由need to do sth.“需要做某事”判斷此處應(yīng)用不定式，又主語the public和remind之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故不定式的被動(dòng)形式to be done，故填to be reminded of。

【5】考查介詞短語。句意：我們失去聯(lián)系已經(jīng)超過20年了。那就是為什么我們昨天在街上遇見時(shí)，她想不起我的名字。根據(jù)句意可知此處用at a loss“茫然不知所措”符合語境，故填at a loss。

【6】考查動(dòng)詞短語短語和語態(tài)。句意：他堅(jiān)持在這個(gè)關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻應(yīng)該找來一名專家給我們一些實(shí)際的建議。根據(jù)句意可知此處用call in“找來”符合語境，再結(jié)合句型insist that sb should do sth.“堅(jiān)持某人做某事”可知此處是虛擬語氣，應(yīng)用should加動(dòng)詞原形，又主語expert和call in之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，應(yīng)用被動(dòng)語態(tài)，綜上所述，故填should be called in。

【7】考查動(dòng)詞短語和語態(tài)。句意：隨著疾病的傳播，該市不可能不受感染。根據(jù)句意可知此處用spare…from“使…免受”符合語境，根據(jù)短語be unlikely to do sth.“不可能做某事”可知此處應(yīng)用不定時(shí)，又主語the city和spare…from之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故應(yīng)用不定式的被動(dòng)形式to be done，故填to be spared from。

【8】考查介詞短語。句意：此人代表Town Tong接受了2014年的人權(quán)獎(jiǎng)，Town Tong在那個(gè)地區(qū)為難民工作了二十年。根據(jù)句意可知，此處用on behalf of“代表”符合語境，故填on behalf of。
