解析
本题主要考查根据文章上下文语境来选择合适的词汇填空，解题关键在于理解每个句子所描述的情境以及前后文的逻辑关系。
- 对于第1空，根据“because he and his brother were far apart at that time”（因为那时他和他的兄弟相隔很远），可以推断出苏轼会感到“孤独”，所以应填“lonely”。
- 第2空，前文提到“He indeed failed to become a powerful official”（他确实没能成为有权势的官员），结合后文“he always worked hard for the people”（他总是为人民努力工作），可知他是作为一名“地方”官员，故填“local”。
- 第3空，“causeway across the West Lake in Hangzhou named after him”（杭州西湖上以他命名的堤岸），大家都知道苏堤很“有名”，所以填“famous”。
- 第4空，“many water projects in different places across the country”（全国各地的许多水利工程），结合苏轼的事迹，他应该是“完成”了这些工程，因此填“completed”。
- 第5空，“Though not in an important position, he was always optimistic about life”（虽然职位不高，但他总是对生活很乐观），由此可知他是“全心全意地”为人民工作，所以填“wholeheartedly”。
