本题主要考查对所给单词的理解和运用，需要根据句子的语境和语义来选择合适的单词，并根据语法规则对单词形式进行必要的变化。

1. “As if you needed another reason to hate the gym, it now turns out that exercise can _ not only your muscles, but also your eyes.”
   • 解题思路：根据句子意思，锻炼会让肌肉和眼睛处于一种疲惫的状态，在所给单词中，“exhaust”有“使疲惫；耗尽”的意思，符合语境，且“can”是情态动词，后面接动词原形。
   • 解析：“exhaust”在这里表示锻炼对肌肉和眼睛产生的影响，即让它们变得疲惫，所以填入“exhaust”。
2. “Don't _ a person on the basis of appearance.”
   • 解题思路：句子表达不要依据外貌对人进行某种行为，“evaluate”意为“评价；评估”，符合根据外貌对人进行评判的语义，“Don't”后接动词原形。
   • 解析：“evaluate a person on the basis of appearance”是常见的表达，即根据外貌评价一个人，所以填入“evaluate”。
3. “I can _ this poem without looking at it for I know it by heart.”
   • 解题思路：因为“know it by heart”（牢记于心），所以能不看就对诗进行某种动作，“recite”是“背诵”的意思，“can”后接动词原形。
   • 解析：“recite this poem”表示背诵这首诗，符合句子逻辑，所以填入“recite”。
4. “It _ me as odd that the man didn't introduce himself before he spoke.”
   • 解题思路：句子描述一种感觉，“strike”有“使突然想到；觉得”的意思，“It strikes sb. as + 形容词”是固定结构，表示“某人觉得……是……的”，根据语境，这里用一般过去时。
   • 解析：“struck”是“strike”的过去式，“It struck me as odd”表示我觉得奇怪，所以填入“struck”。
5. “She opened the door quietly so as not to _ the sleeping baby.”
   • 解题思路：“opened the door quietly”（轻轻地开门）的目的是避免对睡着的婴儿造成某种影响，“disturb”是“打扰；妨碍”的意思，“so as not to”后接动词原形。
   • 解析：“disturb the sleeping baby”即打扰睡着的婴儿，符合句子逻辑，所以填入“disturb”。
6. “The old lady _ much of her time in charity work and even donated her own house before she passed away.”
   • 解题思路：根据“in charity work”（在慈善工作中）以及“donated her own house”（捐出自己的房子），可知老夫人把时间用于慈善工作，“invest”有“投入（时间、精力等）”的意思，“and”连接两个并列的动作，“donated”是过去式，所以这里也用过去式。
   • 解析：“invested”是“invest”的过去式，“invest time in sth.”表示在某事上投入时间，所以填入“invested”。
7. “The turtles return to the coast to _.”
   • 解题思路：海龟返回海岸通常是为了进行繁殖活动，“reproduce”是“繁殖；生殖”的意思，“to”后接动词原形。
   • 解析：“reproduce”符合海龟返回海岸的目的，所以填入“reproduce”。
8. “They have no way to _ of the harmful waste they produce.”
   • 解题思路：对于有害废物，需要进行处理，“dispose of”是固定短语，表示“处理；处置”，“to”后接动词原形。
   • 解析：“dispose of the harmful waste”表示处理有害废物，所以填入“dispose”。
9. “Astronauts have to _ many discomforts in their spaceships.”
   • 解题思路：在太空船中宇航员会面临很多不适，需要承受这些，“endure”是“忍受；忍耐”的意思，“have to”后接动词原形。
   • 解析：“endure many discomforts”表示忍受很多不适，符合宇航员在太空船中的情况，所以填入“endure”。
10. “You should _ every opportunity to practice English.”
    • 解题思路：对于练习英语的机会，应该采取抓住的态度，“seize”有“抓住；夺取”的意思，“should”后接动词原形。
    • 解析：“seize every opportunity”表示抓住每一个机会，所以填入“seize”。
