Answer

2. are born closed

3. because of illness

4. led to act

5. was broken by herself

【解析】

1.句意：一开始，我看见树叶在风中向四面八方飞舞。

根据in the beginning和at first“起初”同义，所以第一个空格填at first，因为位于句首，首字母大写，故第一空格应填At first；根据all directions和everywhere“到处，四处”同义，故第二个空格应该填everywhere。故答案为At first；everywhere。

2.句意：婴儿出生时眼睛通常不会睁开。

通过比较，需要填写的句子的同义句是：当婴儿出生时，他们的眼睛通常是闭着的。at birth和be born“出生”同义，句中的babies是复数，故be动词用are，故第一空格为are born；not open和closed“关闭的”同义。故第二空格应填写closed。故答案为are born；closed。

3.句意：西蒙昨天没去上班，因为他病了。

根据because和because of都表示“因为”。但是because后跟句子，而because of可以跟名词或者名词短语，在句子中做状语。because he was ill.与because of his illness同义。故答案为because of illness。

4.句意：大雨导致了洪水。我们必须采取行动帮助那里的人们。

根据cause和lead to“导致”同义，因为原句用了过去式，所以这里也用过去式，lead的过去式为led，故前两个空格为led to；根据take action和act“行动”同义，因为must后用动词原形，故must后的空格为act。故答案为led to；act。

5.句意：海伦的车出了毛病。她正在独自修理它。

根据go wrong“出错”和be broken“坏了”同义，因为原句是一般过去时，这里也应是一般过去时，又因主语是第三人称单数，故be动词用was，故前两个空为was broken；根据alone“独自一人”和by oneself“靠某人自己”同义，因为主语是she，故后两个空格为by herself。故答案为was broken；by herself。
