【解析】

试题分析：本文属于议论文，讨论了老年人住进养老院的优势，提倡老年人进入养老院享受更多的生活。

【1】about - in 考查固定搭配。短语participate in参加；句意：最近，很多人都参加了一个热烈的讨论。

【2】opinion – opinions 考查名词单复数。名词opinion观点，是一个可数名词，前面有their修饰，说明是很多人的不同观点，所以使用复数形式opinions。

【3】who in – who are in 或in 考查句子结构。原文中who in favor of it并不是一个完整的句子，要在who后面加are构成完整的句子。

【4】 which they say – as they say 考查非限制性定语从句。as指代一句话的内容，在句中做动词say的宾语，意为“正如”，句意：正如他们所说，生活在敬老院，老人要比在家里享受到更多的好处。

【5】of communicate – to communicate/ of communicating/ of communication

考查固定结构。短语have chances to do sth/ have chances of doing sth有机会做某事；也可以使用名词communication作为介词of的宾语。

【6】However –Therefore 考查连词。句意：一方面，他们有更多机会相互交流，因为他们有相同的话题和相似的习惯，因此，他们还可以一起做很多事情，不会感到孤单。上下文之间是因果关系，所以使用副词therefore引导上下文。

【7】alone – lonely 考查形容词。形容词lonely孤单的；alone独自；很多老人在一起做很多他们喜欢的事情，所以他们不会感到孤单。

【8】to live – to living 考查动名词。短语prefer doing sth to doing sth宁愿做某事也不愿意做另外一件事情。其中的to是介词，后面要接动名词做宾语，所以本句中使用动名词living。

【9】ourselves – our 考查所有格。反身代词ourselves在句中做宾语，不能做定语修饰名词。本句中所有格our修饰名词children。句意：因为代沟，我们也许会和我们的孩子吵架。

【10】the old people – old people 考查固定用法。老年人有两种方法表示：the old或old people，所以原文中的定冠词the是多余的。
