　　答案與解析：

　　1.which-in　此處的介詞其實(shí)是和live連用的，live in the environment。

　　2.deal-with。deal with是固定搭配，意思是“解決，處理”。

　　3.make-way。根據(jù)上下文可以斷定此處文章要說(shuō)的是“人們燒，伐樹(shù)木為的是給開(kāi)墾農(nóng)田讓路。”make way for something。是“給……讓路”，符合此處需要的意思。

　　4.spread-polluted/littered。這里的關(guān)鍵是要知道debris的意思是“碎片，殘骸等”，所以根據(jù)上下文這里的意思是“湖泊和濕地被一些碎片殘骸所污染或弄得凌亂不堪”才符合邏輯。

　　5.Abundan-the。此處不是泛指，而是特指，所以要有定冠詞。

　　6.as-like。此處是拿中國(guó)舉例，所以要用介詞like“像……一樣”。

　　7.cause-causing。此處定于分句是主動(dòng)的意義。

　　8.variant改為various。variant是“變體的，變種的”，而various表示“不同的”，符合此處意思

　　9.get…of-rid。固定搭配get rid of 是“擺脫”的意思。

　　10.rise-arise
