【解析】

【1】考查动词短语和时态。句意：大约有200当地人对一个化工厂的修建表示反对，他们认为这会给那个地区造成严重的污染。根据句意可知此处用protest against“对……表示反对/抗议”符合语境，再结合语境和下文的would判断为一般过去时，故填protested against。

【2】考查介词短语。句意：我们不确定他是否能够按时完成这个任务，因为他随时被通知修改这个项目的细节。根据句意可知此处用at short notice“随时”符合语境，故填at short notice。

【3】考查动词短语和时态。句意：他从来不炫耀他的能力，而是用一个接一个成功的产品来证明。根据句意可知此处用brag about“炫耀”符合语境，由下文的keeps判断此处为一般现在时，主语he是第三人称单数，故谓语动词用三单现，故填brags about。

【4】考查动词短语和非谓语。句意：公众需要一直被提醒环保的重要性。根据句意可知此处用remind…of“提醒某人某事”符合语境，由need to do sth.“需要做某事”判断此处应用不定式，又主语the public和remind之间是被动关系，故不定式的被动形式to be done，故填to be reminded of。

【5】考查介词短语。句意：我们失去联系已经超过20年了。那就是为什么我们昨天在街上遇见时，她想不起我的名字。根据句意可知此处用at a loss“茫然不知所措”符合语境，故填at a loss。

【6】考查动词短语短语和语态。句意：他坚持在这个关键时刻应该找来一名专家给我们一些实际的建议。根据句意可知此处用call in“找来”符合语境，再结合句型insist that sb should do sth.“坚持某人做某事”可知此处是虚拟语气，应用should加动词原形，又主语expert和call in之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，综上所述，故填should be called in。

【7】考查动词短语和语态。句意：随着疾病的传播，该市不可能不受感染。根据句意可知此处用spare…from“使…免受”符合语境，根据短语be unlikely to do sth.“不可能做某事”可知此处应用不定时，又主语the city和spare…from之间是被动关系，故应用不定式的被动形式to be done，故填to be spared from。

【8】考查介词短语。句意：此人代表Town Tong接受了2014年的人权奖，Town Tong在那个地区为难民工作了二十年。根据句意可知，此处用on behalf of“代表”符合语境，故填on behalf of。
