解析試題分析：
【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。
