考查时态语态。前边主语paintings为可数名词复数形式，故谓语动词也用复数形式，时态应该与前后句保持一致，用一般过去；句意上为她的画被一位收藏家注意到，用被动语态，所以填were noticed。 【3题详解】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了乐高玩具公司引进了一种新的环保材料制作玩具。公司今天采取的行动会对星球的未来产生重大影响。 【5题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句子中已经有谓语动词can hurt，该空应用非谓语作主语，可以用动名词，也可以用不定式作主语，所以填making/to make。 【6题详解】
考查时态语态；根据前面的recently（最近），这里可以理解为：在刚刚过去的不久，所以可以用一般过去时introduced；也可理解为对现在的影响或者结果，所以也可以使用has introduced，所以填introduced/has introduced。
【7题详解】
考查名词。 根据前面的不定代词all，可知后面应该使用可数名词的复数形式，所以填toys。
