試題分析：
小題1:結合語境可知他每天在海灘步行五英里，根據前文基數詞five，可知填復數名詞miles，英里。
小題2:聯系下文，可知他在尋找一些對人有用的東西，故填use的形容詞形式useful，有用的。
小題3:結合語境可知他小屋里的所有東西都是來自海灘，根據前文has可知本句為現在完成時態，come的過去分詞和原形詞形一致，故填come，來自。
小題4:聯系下文，可知此處指的是與眾不同的東西，故填形容詞usual的反義詞unusual，與眾不同的。
小題5:結合語境可知此處代詞指的是上文提到的lots of bottles ，做介詞賓語的人稱代詞要用賓格形式，故填they的賓格形式them，他們。
小題6:聯系下文描述，可知此處指的是謀生的意思，結合前文不定冠詞a，可知填live的單數名詞形式living，生存，謀生。
小題7:聯系上下文可知此處指的是他回答道，結合語境可知本句描述的是客觀性動作，故用用一般現在時態，主語he是單數第三人稱，故謂語動詞用單數，填replies，回答。
小題8:結合語境可知他的生活豐富多樣，結合前文系動詞is，可知填形容詞rich，豐富的，做表語。
小題9:spend后面一般接現在分詞作補足語，表示主語的伴隨性動作，結合語境可知下文句意為：追逐他們不需要的東西，故填chasing，追逐。
小題10:結合語境可知句意為：但是有更多的人想做我做的這些事情。結合語境可知填many的比較級more，更多的。
點評：由于本題已經給出所需單詞，故完成比較簡單。解答此類題型的方法一般就是根據上下文及時間狀語，主語的人稱與數，判斷出動詞的時態和數的變化，然后進行適當的詞形變換，完成閱讀。
