答案
语篇解读：当外出旅游时为了避免小偷光临，作者在文中告诉了我们几种有效的方法。
1.【答案】are protected
【解析】考查动词的时态语态。此处指人们外出旅游时担心家的安全，houses and homes 和动词protect是被动关系，全文是现在时，故填are protected。
2.【答案】rapidly
【解析】考查副词。句意：犯罪事件迅速上升。此处修饰动词goes up要用副词，故填rapidly。
3.【答案】for
【解析】考查介词。句意：当你去度假时应该记住下面这些事。此处表示目的，故填for。
4.【答案】strangers
5.【答案】cleaned
【解析】考查非谓语动词。这儿是“have+宾语+过去分词”的结构。句中snow和动词clean是被动关系，指雪被清理。用过去分词表被动，故填cleaned。句意：冬季，要请人把你家楼梯上和车道上的积雪清理干净。
6.【答案】their/his
【解析】考查代词。此处指让别人把他∕他们的车停在你的车道上。修饰cars用形容词性物主代词，故填their/his。
7.【答案】Having
【解析】考查非谓语动词。此处要填的词在句中做主语，故用-ing形式Having。句意：台阶上有报纸和邮件会告诉人们你不在家。
8.【答案】or
【解析】考查连词。句意：你可以让亲戚或邻居每天帮你拿邮件和报纸。亲戚和邻居两者中选其一，故填or.
9.【答案】that/which
【解析】考查定语从句。句中包含定语从句，先行词是timer指物，在定语从句中做主语，指定时器每天不同时间开关灯，故填关系代词that/which.
10.【答案】when/while
【解析】考查状语从句。此处指当你不在时让小偷远离你的家。引导时间状语用when/while.
