解析：
【分析】首先明确方框内词汇/短语的含义与用法：get rid of（摆脱，后接名词）、lead to（导致，过去式led to）、mean（意思是，过去式meant）、thousands of（成千上万，句首需大写）、set up（搭建，过去式仍为set）、as well as（和，连接并列成分）、in danger（处于危险中）、fall behind（落后）、rise（上升，过去式rose）、in fear（害怕地，作状语）。解题时需先通读句子理解句意，再结合时态、固定搭配、句子结构选择合适词汇，同时注意形式变化（如句首大写、动词不定式、过去式等），且每个词汇仅用一次。
【解析】1. 句意：兔子听到噪音害怕地跑开，in fear作状语修饰动词ran，符合语境，故填in fear。
2. 句意：缺太多课会落后，fall behind是固定短语，will后接动词原形，故填fall behind。
3. 句意：球员在太阳升起前爬到泰山顶，rise的过去式rose，从句动作发生在过去，故填rose。
4. 句意：点头在不同文化意思不同，mean是动词，can后接原形，故填mean。
5. 句意：成千上万的鸟回来，thousands of位于句首需大写，故填Thousands of。
6. 句意：他们在天黑前搭帐篷，set up的过去式仍为set，符合过去时态，故填set up。
7. 句意：我想摆脱熬夜的坏习惯，want to do sth为固定搭配，故填to get rid of。
8. 句意：大雨导致洪水，时间状语last night提示用过去式，lead to的过去式为led to，故填led to。
9. 句意：新手机有好的相机和大屏幕，as well as连接并列的名词短语，故填as well as。
10. 句意：小女孩跑到繁忙街道时处于危险中，in danger是固定短语，符合语境，故填in danger。
【答案】1. in fear 2. fall behind 3. rose 4. mean 5. Thousands of 6. set up 7. to get rid of 8. led to 9. as well as 10. in danger

六、阅读表达。(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,根据短文内容用英语回答问题。每题答案不超过5个单词。
Can a cricket really tell you the temperature outside? Do fish know if it's going to be a cold winter? You may hear that groundhogs can predict the end of winter. Some of the sayings, like "If a cat sits with its back to the fire, hard weather can be expected." may sound unbelievable, but some may be true. Many animals do have stronger senses than humans.
Do animals tell us when a storm is coming? Birds react to the drop in air pressure(气压) before a storm by flying low. Insects stay close to the ground and wolves howl because their ears can sense the pressure change. A good rule is, when animals act strangely, you probably should be careful with the environment around you.
Do you know the sound of crickets' chirps(鸣叫) can tell you how hot the weather is? Crickets are cold-blooded. So when the temperature in the air changes, the cricket's body temperature changes with it. As the temperature rises, the cricket's metabolism(新陈代谢) increases. When the heat rises, crickets chirp. To get the exact temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, count the number of chirps in 15 seconds, and add 40.
Do you have a tried and true weather animal that predicts the weather?
1. Why can some animals know the weather changes?
2. What do birds do before the storm?
3. When should we be careful with the environment?
4. What can crickets' chirps tell us?
5. Please give a title for the passage.
