【分析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了世界上几位致力于改善社会的伟大人物。

1 ． 考查非谓语动词。句意：世界上许多伟大的人都以自己的方式致力于改善社会。 devote oneself to doing 表示 “致力于做某事”，故填 improving 。

2 ． 考查固定句式。句意：一位来自于英国的女性简 ·古道尔宁愿花时间在非洲野外研究黑猩猩，也不愿过舒适的生活。 would rather do A than do B 表示 “宁愿做 A 也不愿做 B ”，故填 lead 。

3 ． 考查时态。句意： 40 年来，她一直直言不讳地说要让世界其他地方理解和尊重黑猩猩。根据时间状语 “ For 40 years ”可知用现在完成时，故填 has been 。

4 ． 考查名词。句意：妇科病专家林巧芝是另一位取得巨大成就的女性。作动词 made 的宾语用名词， make achievements 表示 “取得成就”，故填 achievements 。

5 ． 考查让步状语从句。句意：有一个又一个故事讲述一天的工作后不管多累，她还要深夜去给贫穷的家庭接生。 no matter how+adj 表示 “不管多么……”，故填 how 。

6 ． 考查时态语态。句意：正是由于她的辛勤工作和对病人的关怀，数百名婴儿才得以安全分娩。事情发生在过去， babies 与 deliver 之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，故填 were delivered 。

7 ． 考查冠词。句意：第三个例子是袁隆平，世界上第一个种植超级杂交水稻的农业先驱。 a+ 序数词表示 “又一、再”，故填 A 。

8 ． 考查不定式。句意同上，当被修饰词前有序数词修饰时，用不定式作后置定语，故填 to grow 。

9 ． 考查固定短语。句意：因此，现在联合国在消除世界饥饿的斗争中有了更多的方法。 rid...of… 表示 “去除、让……摆脱……”，故填 of 。

10 ． 考查形容词。句意：简而言之，他们的工作令人印象深刻，值得表扬和学习。作 is 的表语用形容词，故填 impressive 。
