答案：
解析：
【小题1】结合前后文，此句为：听到最新的消息，汤姆建议卖掉房子，但是安不同意。Suggest doing sth.建议做某事，后接动词ing形式；或者也可接that从句。
【小题2】结合前后文，此句为：那个更重些，水还是油？很久以前物理老师就告诉我油浮在水面上。That引导宾语从句，而且从句陈述的是一个客观真理性的事物，所以用一般现在时，故填floats。
【小题3】结合前后文，此句为：当你听到他的消息时感到震惊吗？是的，我们很多年没有联系了。从语境得知，这里要用过去完成时，表示过去的过去所发生的事情，故填hadn’t contacted。
【小题4】结合前后文，此句为：报道说H7N9病毒在中国一些省份造成了严重问题。是的，如果不及时制止或消除，更多人将会感染。If引导的条件状语从句用一般现在时，主句用一般将来时，表示将会发生什么，而且句中要用被动，故填will be affected。
【小题5】结合前后文，此句为：那个存在了近千年的村庄将近一半在今年一月份的大火中被烧毁了。句中要用被动语态，be+动词过去分词；而且描述的是过去的事情，故be用一般过去式，故填was burned/ burnt。
【小题6】结合前后文，此句为：亲爱的，你为什么不接我电话？对不起，我刚才正在参加一个重要的会有，我的手机放办公室了。句中要用过去进行时，表示过去的某个时间正在做某事，故填was attending。
【小题7】结合前后文，此句为：我想在咖啡里多加点糖。不必了，我已经放了很多了。句中用现在完成时，表示过去的事情对现在造成了影响，故填have put。
【小题8】结合前后文，此句为：一些小步骤可以用来减少我们日常生活的污染。句中用不定式来做目的状语，to reduce用来减少。
