試題分析：本文講述了螢火蟲的生存現(xiàn)狀，在不久的將來，螢火蟲將成為下一代獨特的記憶。

【1】darkness 此處考查名詞。quiet意為“安靜的”，是形容詞，修飾的是名詞，darkness意為“黑暗”，故填darkness。

【2】who 此處考查讓步狀語從句。No matter+疑問詞，是讓步狀語從句，no matter who you are意為“無論你是誰”，故填who。

【3】more 此處考查形容詞比較級。more意為“更…”，用來修飾多音節(jié)形容詞，more common意為“更常見”，故填more。

【4】before 此處考查連詞。before意為“在…之前”，故填before。

【5】disappeared 此處考查一般過去式。disappear意為“消失”，動作發(fā)生在過去，應(yīng)用過去時態(tài)，故填disappeared。

【6】nowhere 此處考查名詞。nowhere意為“沒有地方，無處”，此處表達(dá)沒有地方生存，故填nowhere。

【7】from 此處考查詞組。keep away from意為“遠(yuǎn)離，避開”，故填from。

【8】did 此處考查助動詞。助動詞放放在動詞前表示強調(diào)，此處用一般過去式，故填did。

【9】which 此處考查非限制性定語從句。which用來指代事物，故填which。

【10】helping 此處考查動詞。Be動詞+動詞ing形式表示正在進(jìn)行的動作，前面動詞light用ing形式，此處也應(yīng)用ing形式，故填helping。
