问题     The Slug Queens sum up the spirit of Eugene. Every year the
Oregon town hosts an alternative beauty pageant—coinciding with, but
independent of, the annual Eugene Celebration. The winners are marked
out by a combination of anarchic creation, wry humor and passionate【S1】_______
commitment to his environment: the same qualities that make this place【S2】_______
so unique.
    Two hours the south of Portland,  Eugene isn’t as urbane as that【S3】________
famously trendy city. This is a town of parks, trees and waterways, a
hiking mecca that melds swift into the nearby mountains. It also feels【S4】________
slightly scruffy: a former hotbed of hippies and anarchists which radical【S5】________
edge lives on in its environmental agenda. The single most important
climate change case in the US law courts originates here, and the
University of Oregon attracts social activists from across the country.
    A short walk from  campus  is a revitalizing downtown, with a【S6】________
2,500-seat performing arts venue—the Hult Center—a modern theatre
and three independent cinemas. "A few years ago, not many people
came and hung downtown," says Gino Franco, production manager at【S7】________
the Oregon Contemporary Theatre, which expanded into its current
space in 2012. "Therefore thanks to the growing arts scene, and some【S8】________
new restaurants, it’s become a lot more friendly. "
    A 10-minute walk away, in the gentrifying Whiteaker neighborhood—
referred to as the Whit—Eugene’s hippie culture can still be found, and
Oregon’s legalization of recreational drug use may help keep that spirit lively.【S9】________
There are still invisible social issues to be addressed,  homelessness in【S10】________
particular. But Franco says: " There are a lot of great services here for
people who are going through life transitions, and I’m so glad I live in a
community that’s open to this and willing to embrace people who are
struggling. "
【S1】
选项
答案creation—creativity
解析 名词误用。该句意为“获胜者脱颖而出的原因是他们肆无忌惮的创造力、令人啼笑皆非的幽默感和他们对生活环境的热爱：同样地，这些品质也让这个地方如此独特。”creation为名词，意为“创造；创建；创造物”，而creativity意为“创造力，创造性”，符合句意，故将creation改为creativity。
