【解析】

试题分析：本文主要讲Ms Karen和她女儿Celest长期帮助老人们的故事及她培养女儿这种品质的意义。

1.helped— helping / been 去掉，考查时态。此处指在过去12年一直帮助老人，应用现在完成进行时（has been helping）或现在完成时（has helped）,故答案为helped— helping 或把 been 去掉。

2.help前加to，考查非谓语动词。encourage sb. to do sth.“鼓励某人做某事”，故答案为help前加to。

3.去掉 as，考查短语。as well as和as well都可译为“也，还”， as well as用在句中，后有比较对象；as well用于句末。此处为句末要用as well，故答案为去掉 as.

4.are—is考查主谓一致。Visiting the seniors who have limited or no family support部分who have limited or no family support是定语从句，修饰seniors；句子主语为Visiting the seniors为非谓语动词形式，谓语要用单数，答案为are—is.

5.all— both考查代词。此处指Ms Karen和她女儿Celest两者都，用both, all用于三者或以上都，故答案为all— both.

6.the—a考查冠词。baby是可数名词，此处指当Celes是婴儿的时候，不是特指，用a, 故答案为the—a.

7.so—because考查连词。句意为因为没人照顾孩子，所以Ms Karen带孩子去看老人们。前后句为因果关系，故答案为so—because.

8.whatever—however考查连词。上句指因为没人照顾孩子，所以Ms Karen带孩子去看老人们。后句指随时间推移成了习惯。两句为转折关系，故答案为whatever—however.

9.for—with考查固定短语。get along with“和……一起/相处”是固定短语。故答案为for—with.

10.
