【分析】
本题为英语短文填空题，需结合语境、语法规则（时态、词性、固定搭配等）解题。首先通读全文理解大意：讲述可可西里一只狼因狩猎技能差被狼群驱逐，后因司机投喂走红，但投喂零食对野生动物有害。解题时，逐个分析每个空的句子结构、所需词性/时态，再结合上下文逻辑确定答案：1. 根据时间状语“当你开车经过时”，动作正在进行，用现在进行时；2. 前后句为转折关系，选转折连词；3. 修饰名词skills需动名词作定语；4. 表目的用不定式；5. 后文提到零食有太多糖盐，故为不健康；6. 修饰动词用副词；7. 指代“它们自己”用反身代词；8. 固定搭配“as a result”；9. if引导条件状语从句，主句用一般将来时；10. 固定搭配“at risk”。
【解析】
1. 由时间状语“When you drive by”可知，此处描述正在进行的动作，用现在进行时，故填is rolling。
2. 前文提到狼在车前打滚要食物，后文说它过去骨瘦如柴，前后为转折关系且空格后有逗号，故填However。
3. 此处修饰名词skills，需用动名词作定语，hunt的动名词形式为hunting，故填hunting。
4. 句意为“狼总是向过往司机求助以获取零食”，表目的用不定式，故填to get。
5. 后文提到零食有太多糖和盐，可知对野生动物不健康，healthy的反义词为unhealthy，故填unhealthy。
6. 此处修饰动词get，需用副词，easy的副词形式为easily，故填easily。
7. 句意为“它们会过度依赖人类而非自己”，指代“它们自己”用反身代词，they的反身代词为themselves，故填themselves。
8. 固定搭配as a result意为“结果”，故填a。
9. if引导的条件状语从句遵循“主将从现”原则，主句用一般将来时，故填will change。
10. 固定搭配at risk意为“处于危险中”，故填at。
【答案】
1. is rolling 2. However 3. hunting 4. to get 5. unhealthy 6. easily 7. themselves 8. a 9. will change 10. at
